The heavy gauge wire is the engine (starter) ground to the chassis. This is an important wire. It needs to ultimately complete the starter circuit back to the battery, either via the bus bar or chassis (assuming the battery is grounded to the chassis elsewhere).

I recommend removing the glow plugs. It saves a lot of stress on the starter and batteries while priming the fuel system. I attached what my ground stud looks like on the rear of the block.

There should be no washers. I’m proud for you

I can see you have the lifting plate installed and the studs seem to be in the correct orientation…it’s hard to say. Can’t imagine why it wouldn’t be lined up. Did you put a straight edge on it?

Hmmm. Not sure.

Could be, but that (combination valve) wire should be in the forward harness, in conduit, and runs through the firewall via the main bulkhead harness connection.

Not sure, doesn’t sound stock though. The forward harness (one of the three in the main bulkhead connector) includes only the lights, blackout lights, map light, coolant level sensor, several ground wire terminations (6), the horn, and the combination valve. The other two parts of the main...

1) The pink wire is .8 PNK-30 (SXL) and goes to the fuel tank sending unit which is where your fuel gage signal comes from. See figure F-4 on the right near the middle. The shorter tan plug wire is .5 TAN-31 (SXL) for oil pressure. See figure F-3 bottom left. 2) That wire is the Fuel Shutoff...

Which bracket is broken so we can better help? I would start soaking that pulley with some WD-40 or penetrating fluid now.

If this is the wire that you are talking about, it’s the transmission downshift solenoid wire. It will have end to end continuity with the orange wire on the connector at the pedal. My picture is missing the brackets but I’m pretty sure this is the wire you are asking about.
