I just swapped in a 305 TPI motor in my originally 305 TBI camaro and now this wire burned up and the dash does not turn on when attempting to start. Can anyone help?

 

This wire was also not connected. Im not sure where it goes but I know it needs to be plugged up.

 

Is this wire on the drivers side? If so my car has the same wire unpluged. Could never tell where it went.

On your burning wire. U know its a short right. So its not a fuse although one could have burned up in the "meltdown". My advise may not be the best, but what I would do is see if the wire was loose at any junctions. If it was not then, find out where your grounds are for that circuit, & see if they are all making good contact, or just not hooked up. If all that fails then look at a tbi car, to see if that wire is a lower gauge (bigger wire).
Good luck. Oh and I wold not run power to it again till you go over the above steps. Some one else may have a short cut also. Anyone?

 

I see a lot of butt connectors. When you get the wire problem straight make sure you tape them up to keep water out.
