Are you simply looking for the names of the Connectors in your Image?

From Left to Right:
-The Two Black Connectors are the PCM (Power-Train Control Module) Connectors. They are Delphi UnSealed Micro-Pack 100 Series Connectors (NOT to be confused with Micro-Pack 100W).
-The 15-Way "Natural Colored" (UnColored/ Translucent) Connector is the C207 Connector. It is a Delphi UnSealed Metri-Pack 280 Series Connector.
-The 6-Way Grey Connector is the C221 Connector. It is a Delphi UnSealed Metri-Pack 280 Series Connector.

I tried a few different quick Searches for: "Connector Information" with "Interior" or "Harness" or "ID" or "Number".
Here is one of the results that kept coming up:

Left is dash side C207, notice its two connectors. Middle C221 (if equipped), right engine side C207

There is a Ton of great Information and Images here on ThirdGen.org...
That has accumulated for over 25 Years now.

Re: 86 TPI wiring harness connectors

The GM service manual for the car has a section in it with views of connectors and it tells you what each connector is and there's also another section that tells you where it is. And of course all the connectors are identified in the wiring schematics.

If you're just sitting on a pile of parts then you're going to need a GM service manual to put it back together.

Re: 86 TPI wiring harness connectors

Thanks for the reply’s, I’ve been busy with work and more work, I have not been able to reply.. I’m also still getting usto the format on this page. The connections I was referring to was the plugs on the opposite side of the picture I posted, the picture was just a reference to the harness I have. I downloaded a repair manual as someone stated and briefly glanced at it but I didn’t really see what I was looking for. Here’s a pic of what I’m looking for.

Re: 86 TPI wiring harness connectors

I think that harness pictured is for an LS engine swap or something like that. Almost none of the connectors will be the same.

Re: 86 TPI wiring harness connectors

You should really try to be more specific as to your wants/ needs in your Posts...
This way we actually can know what you want in our responses.





In the Image above:

-The One 15-Way Clear/ Translucent Connector (the same as you have) on the Right side of the Image, connect to the 2 Black Connectors on the Left side.
-The Grey 6-Way Connector connects to another Grey 6-Way Connector, that is in the same are as the 15-Way Connector.

The Two Black Connectors in your Image below, connect to the PCM (as I already stated in my previous Post) connect to the PCM.



All of these connection occur under the dashboard on the passenger side, near the Kick-Panel.

yes that is a LS harness with all the connectors labeled(I used it for reference). I’m looking for a picture that is labeled like that, that way I can verify my 1986 harness is not missing any connectors (maf, injectors, ect.)
