Hello Robert,
We were trying to find out ahead of time the proper way to cable a GE
series motor in a Fiero. We are down to our last two lugs and we did not
want to waste lugs by cabling it the opposite way. I understand that
Honda rotate in the opposite direction to go forward but we were not
sure of a Fiero.
Also, we wanted to confirm that we had a GE Series motor and not a Sepex.
We are trying to finish this car up so we could drive it in a parade
next weekend.
