lost and confused. help meeeee.

ok. new to the camaro forums. and im sure my question would have been answered in other threads if my car hadnt been previously hacked. but here we go.

i have a 91 rs camaro. 305 tbi. its not the original engine and the harness was messed with for some reason. dont ask me what was done, cause i honestly dont know. but i have a 327, and i just want to eliminate the tbi and engine harness. where would ya'll start. im plannin to run carb. btw.

i want to just yank all the wires out of the engine bay, run some wires to a starter and let it go. someone help meeeee



ok ok, i just found out that the car should run. the guy i got the car from rewired the high beams to a switch, the electric fan to a switch. would cutting the wires to the fan and straight wiring them to a switch cause the engine not to turn over at all?

Dont blindly yank everything or you will be in there later un-yanking wires to make it work correctly

Light harness is separate from the engine harness. You dont touch this half to swap engines

Do not strait wire the fan(s). Use a relay with a thermal switch on the ground leg like factory LO3s did. Tee into the ground leg between the switch and relay to a toggle switch to ground for a manual override. Strait wiring the fan will burn it out quickly and you will be overheating in the middle of traffic causing more headaches then adding simple relay
