These are the Kadett Rallye Files

 

Opel GT Diagrams Note they didn't have a 1969 one only the 70 for some reason.

 

Hey how are you man thanks alot for the diagrams. The only question I have is this, in the Opel GT source book catalogue they have the diagram differently set up, the ignition wires go 1 bottom right of distributor, 2 top right, 3 bottom left, 4 top left. Why is this?

 

Opel Ascona / 1900 - Not sure why they are different from Manta as I don't think they are.

Hope these help anyone fixing their wiring or rewiring using a universal harness. Someone might want to sticky this..

 

My aging eyes thank you Charles. :veryhappy

 

THANK YOU! They are great for us old Opelers!!:yup:

 

Not to be too much of a buzz kill but isn't it verboten to post copyrighted material here?

 

Usually not a problem if not posted for profit.. and I did pay for the CD that they came from.

Add to that only some seem to be tagged 2001 copyright by Mitchell but that copyright was only added to a some of them.

Fair Use Doctrine

Section 107 contains a list of the various purposes for which the reproduction of a particular work may be considered fair, such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Section 107 also sets out four factors to be considered in determining whether or not a particular use is fair:

1) The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes

2) The nature of the copyrighted work

3) The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole

4) The effect of the use upon the potential market for, or value of, the copyrighted work

So covering the fair use items:

1) For Non-Profit Education practices (OpelGT.com - The Classic Opel Community)

2) For use by professional mechanics (Website dedicated to enthusiasts that work for no pay)

3) Original documents contained 100s of pages for many makes and models from 1960-1982, covering every aspect of each model from engine to taillight. It also included 100s of Wiring diagrams. ( As a percentage of the original content, it is minor. )

4) The document from which they come.. Mitchells' Vintage Car, Truck & Van Repair Manual 1960-1982 on CD-ROM has been discontinued for the last few years. Original retail was $300 and its doubtful anyone would pay $300 to just get one or two wiring diagrams. So affect on its sale is minimal to non-existent.

So to post them here is within the bounds of the "Fair Use Doctrine"

Something that would NOT be within the fair use guidelines would be to post something like Destecs' wiring diagram for example without his permission. Since the wiring diagram is 100% of the copyrighted material and it would affect his ability to resell his laminated copies.

Hope that clears that up for others. Since the comments have come up before.

 

Those diagrams have been posted in the technical picture section of the site for almost 8 years now.

Just a point of information, the diagram listed as 1971 Kadett is really the 1971 GT and vice versa. I did not check any others. Bill

 

Nice post Charles. "Promoted" them to the Articles section.

 

Universal wiring diagrams

Since I am on the subject of wiring diagrams here are some universal ones.

I find having multiple ones helps because depending on the writer or designer of the guide depends on what you get out of them.

I also included the EZ2Wire to Manta conversion diagram. Which will work with converting any 1900/Manta using any universal wiring diagram such as the KW14STD

1.1 GT wiring diagram?

All the diagrams I've seen are for a 1.9 GT. Anyone seen or have access to a 1.1 1969 GT wiring diagram? Under hood is different than the 1.9 although the rest of the car, dash etc are about the same.

I used the 1.1L 1969 Opel Kadett wiring diagram for some 1.1L parts I have for a GT. Should be the same. The interior harness should be same as the 1.9L GT I bet.

I was able to find it on my phone. I found the wiring diagram for the Kadett 1.1L on the forum in the wiring diagrams sub forum. This post gives you the colors and connector numbers marked on the unit at least.

 

Found this company on Ebay. ClassicCarWiring.com. Full color 11 x 17 laminated wiring diagrams. They have hundreds of wiring diagrams for all makes and vehicles. I bought a set for my other cars as well as Maria's Opel. They originally mailed a set for the 71-72 GT, but they quickly sent out the correct diagram the day after I emailed them.
The diagrams are high resolution and easy to read. One note on the 71-72 diagram; the Low Brake Warning Switch and Reverse Light Switch labels are reversed, you can spot them above the starter. The wiring schematic is accurate, I think their close proximity on the diagram confused someone. Other than that I'm satisfied with their product.
