86 car 87 harness
Hello all, im currently looking to buy an engine harness from another board member here and i need a quick answer if possible. i have an 86 TA with a 5 speed and a 350 carb'd. i originally bought this car on CL a few years back and its finally time to get her back on the road! problem is the harness the PO had in the car consists of all red wires...... i have no idea what goes to what. i want to know if an 87 camaro automatic harness will work on my 86 TA, i know MOST of the wires will not be needed but i need to make sure that the bulk head harness parts will work and that my gauges will all work correctly. i also know that the dizzy will need some different wiring as the 87 has a small cap distributor and the 86 is an HEI distributor. any help will be greatly appreciated

Re: 86 car 87 harness
What part of the harness are you going to be using C100 on the engine side or C100 on the interior side. I do know that no matter what you do you will have to re run the reverse lights on the auto harness as yours is set up for a 5sp. I had to do the same thing on mine when I did it as I have a 87 interior 5sp harness and custom LS1 harness pocket did for me

Sorry you only need to rerun the reverse lights if you use half of a auto harness attached to a 5sp harness

Re: 86 car 87 harness
im just using the engine harness. from the firewall on the driver side to where the ECU is, i know i wont need alot of the wires but i do need a new harness. i already have a headlight harness and fog light harness. is everything else going to work? the reverse light is that hard to re-run?
