Thank you for the answers.
Simon, I contacted Premier looms them between xmas and new year, and no reply so far. May be they are on holidays... we'll see.
TT, one more time you confirm the suspicions I had... I think it is going to be difficult.
Al, this is an interesting information. What is the point to have a loom done if there is no connectors? Simon, do you confirm the loom you got from Premier was without connectors?

Ah, sorry, I thought you were speaking of a custom body loom. I doubt anyone would be able to build you a custom engine loom without a donor loom for plugs. Did you investigate the possibility to get an original one from Ford?

The loom came without connectors, you need to make them yourself, however they do come with relay holders and fuses boxes in place, also as every cable is a different colour it makes fault finding so much easier.

I'm thinking more and more about using the DOHC from the donor in the roadster. I really wanted the Pinto EFI, but it looks like it will be only troubles to try to connect and use it.
Thank you for the infos I keep you informed when I make my mind.

It's the ford specific connectors that snookers everyone.

You can get a few in the states but some bit's are just not available.

Thank you very much for the link Arfon, I bookmarked this supplier, they look to have a lot of interesting things.

Regarding the loom, yes, they have universal looms, but I guess I will have the same problem with the connector.

The price is about 200€, and even though it is a big expense for the car, I could have think about it seriously if I was sure the loom would be "plug and play". But if I have to struggle with the connectors as TT seems to confirm on top of this expense, I don't think it is worth it...

Humm... hard to make my mind...

Thanks for the infos guys.

The other option I was thinking of is to use maybe the top half of maybe a mondeo stearing column and using the electronic conectors from this
