My whole cars electrical system is a mess. Hacked up like you wouldnt believe, half the time stuff doesnt work, the wiring is an absoloute MESS. Anyhow, I need to know what you think I should do about it. I've got a non computer controled engine, no emmissions stuff, pretty much BARE BONES. Electric fuel pump and electric fan are on switches (how i want it), aftermarket mechanical gauges, no heat or a/c or anything.......
All I need is the bare essentials (Headlights, tail lights, turn signals, wipers, etc.)
Anyhow, on a budget, I probably can't have the car wired by a professional, but something definatly needs to be done. What should I do? Should I get an untouched harness (both body and engine) and just go through with them out of the car checking everything, cutting out and removing anything i dont need? Any advice? Thanks,

yah you could do that, look for a wring diagram, that wll help you out alot

 

Don't ya just hate people that cut up a harness? I did my TPI to carb swap with only 7 wire cuts. (TCC, 4th gear switch, fan-R, fan-L, TACH, coil+, SES light) All the rest were tap connections. I have scans of the '88 factory wiring (not haynes) if you need them. They are big (2mb) bmp files for clarity, I hate schematics that you can almost read.

 

I want to MURDER whoever did the first engine swap in my poor car. like..... the thought of just hanging them from the wiring mess brings me pleasure...... well, actually, that probably wouldnt do too much cause they hacked it up so much and used freakin duct tape for most of the connections, LOL
but seriously.....
i would LOVE to just kill the ******* who did that to my car (Yes, *******, i found a freakin TRAILER HITCH HARNESS IN THE BACK)

 

Hey...me too! I think I just stared at it for about 10 minutes repeating over and over to myself: "trailer hitch? TRAILER HITCH?!...".

Throw a TT 502 in there and have a tractor pull!
