Did you read the link?

"Buy a V6 or TBI harness and modify that one as they are significantly cheaper and the sale of the SD TPI harness should net you a good chunk back
Everything V6/TBI/TPI about your old harness is being removed"

Re: lt1 swap gauge question

Another question the ECM harness that goes through the fender, is there anything needed off that harness or can I just remove it, I have a carb harness screwed into the bulkhead and I have a carb ECM harness down at my brothers
