I'm trying to clean up under the hood after engine swap. Trying to figure out what wires can I cut out and what wires to leave!!!! It's ugly under the hood please reply guys

 

What engine did you start with and what engine do you have now?
What gauges are you running?
Do you have a meter and know how to use it?

 

I'm going to be honest with you .........

You've really only got two options here . Make friends with someone who knows automotive electrical , or learn how to do it yourself . There are likely 50 to 75 (give or take a few) wires running between the engine compartment and the dash / rest of the car (fuel pump & such) and it would be just about impossible to go wire by wire in forum posts as to what stays & what goes . If you understand electric circuits at their basic level well then now you just need to decide what your engine and rest of your car needs , connection wise , to run . Start with circuits like establishing the key on power for the distributor , then establish the starter solenoid to start wire from the ignition switch , and so on . Once you've met the engine's wiring requirements it'll run .

PS If you have not yet found it in a search , the site austinthirdgen.org has all of our car's wiring diagrams which would be a great starting point for this .....

 

Thinking about cutting all wires coming from the passenger side fender coming from the PCM. Was a v6 now 383 carbed. Running auto meter tach and all factory gauges
