For anyone familiar with an '86 TPI harness.
Right now I am in the middle of swapping out my carb for TPI and have a few qusetions.
First, there are 2 heavy wires that run down the driver side frame rail and go to the battery (Pontiac setup). From the diagrams I have it looks like they both get positive power, am I right?
Second, there are 2 connectors that I can not identify, one looks like it would go to the A/C canister (different connector from what I have) and the other one comes out by the master cylinder. The second one has 2 wires in it with a square shaped plug, any ideas what it does!!?
------------------
'86 TA, T-tops, T-5, 3.73, 4 wheel disks 350, compucam 2040, performer intake,SLP Headers, 3" race magnum muffler, 1.6 Comp rockers, Ripper shifter, perf. friction pads, Hypertech ignition, Earls brake hoses, Hotchkis springs, Tokico Illumina 5 adjustable shocks and struts, Lakewood panhard and trailing arms
14.50@ 97

The 2 heavy wires are both orange and they go into a weatherpack. I am not sure of the others right now, I've been too busy running the fuel lines.

The 2 heavy orange wires run to battery power, one has a fusible link (I believe the one that eventually powers the electric fan) and the other runs to a fuse for the ecm power and then to the battery.
The square shaped plug *may* be for the windsheild wiper motor, but without the wire colors I cant be sure.
