Hoping u guys can help me with some questions and suggestions on what i can remove in my Harness.I searched and read lots of posts including TGO member pockets ltx ls harness swaps these were a little out of my league but I Know my harness is simple compared to some.I have a 85 TA and I am swapping in a 355 non cc.I removed the ecm harness know I Just have some questions on my harness.I labeled theses items in the pic.#1 O.k. #2Pink and white distibutor wires where will these hookup on my new non cc hei. #3Should i remove this wire? #4 and #5 these just hookup to senders to retain factory guages correct?#6 altenator plug with jumper wire attached.can I just remove the plug and jumper to hookup to an aftermarket 1 wire altenator?#7 E choke wire will use this on my new e choke carb.#8 and a jumper plug on #9 were attached to the firewall near the blower.I think these are for an ac option.?can I remove theses? also #8 had a ground to the firewall do I need this or can I use the ground strap from the head to the firewall?#9 purple starter wire is ign wire? and the red has a few jumper wires with factory splices.I think this wire feeds the fuses and 12v power to the car.is this right? I know this is long but I figured do it as one post. Thanks for any feedback Howard

Cant help you with the carb controls

Coolant and oil pressure sender hook directly up to the senders

Im not familiar with 1 wire univ alts. The old alt wire is a fused 12v IGN source. If the new alt is excited by a simple 12v IGN, then sure. Some alts are excited by a lower voltage and require a resistor. For those, 12v will make them work, but they burn out after a week or so. Make sure before you burn the alt up

Grounds can be moved wherever you please. Just be sure in the end you have the body connected to the engine with some sort of ground strap all leading back to the battery

Purple is starter solenoid wire. This goes directly to the small lug on the starter

Two big red wires are main 12v constant for the interior and front harness. Without those, your car's electrical system is dead. I like to move these off the starter and to a power dist block located somewhere in the engine bay

Good job on stripping the harness, looks very clean and neat. Refer to the carb board if someone doesnt fill in the choke wire functions here. You may get by using a factory diagram

The carb wires appear to be properly identified. Didn't you tag them when you removed them?

The pink ignition wire will go to the "BATT" terminal on the coil-in-cap HEI distributor, and white to "TACH".
