Wiring Harness: Nip & Tuck

Re: Wiring Harness: Nip & Tuck

Any dumbass can figure out electrical stuff. Gimme a break. Everything is color coded and there are diagrams for everything. All it takes is some patience and planning. If you can follow a line on a piece of paper, this should be a snap.....

sorry for the delay.....a little slow on the draw here after Thanksgiving.

You need to keep the junction box under the booster, unless you plan on completely redoing the wiring for the entire car. The firewall-side of the junction box is bonded to the fuse panel, so removing, or relocating it means moving or relocating the entire fuse panel.

The junction blocks I was referring to under the defrost vent are buss bars for making connections to common points in the harness, such as 440 Orange, 439 Pink/Black, 450 Black/White, 432 Light Green, etc.

That junction block on the firewall basically brings out the headlight harness, some ABS stuff, the windshield wiper wiring and some other crap. Look at the wiring diagram for it and trace each wire back to where it ends to decide if you need it or not.

This makes it more confusing for me. If you don't remove the block off the firewall, how do you hide all the wiring coming out of it?

What specific wiring are we trying to hide and send through the hole in the firewall?

Unfortunately, you don't. Go ahead and chart new waters if you like, but the whole undertaking was a pretty decent amount of work leaving that large plug where it was. Moving, or getting rid of that entirely would mean bodywork.

What I did on it though......there were several wires that came out of that plug, and ran back into the cab; I'd have to look at which ones again. I drilled 2 holes next to the large plug, put grommets in them and looped the wires back into the cab through those new holes. Once it was done, the only wiring hanging out there was the loop going to the wiper motor. Some went through the small holes back into the cab, and the rest was for the front lighting harness.

If you want to tackle moving that block...knock yourself out. I wasn't up to it.

Ok I got it Adam, I didn't know you went back into the cab with them. I was thinking how the hell is leaving all this wiring outside going to hide it.

Re: Wiring Harness: Nip & Tuck

Where does the white wire on the Grey plug (on coil) go?
I'm running a Holley EFI dominator. And have no stock ecm. I believe it comes from the coil into the ECM for 12 volt switched positive. Can this wire be put on any 12 volt swhiched source?

Stock ignition and coil.
The white wire "stock" is on the gray plug on the coil, runs into cab on ecm side. Then under the dash to a 10 pin connection "white plug, 2rows of 5"
Prior owner hacked the ecm side of this harness off.
