Help on '87 305 TPI Swap into '92 RS Shell
I have the complete wiring harness, minus the chassis one which i left in the car. I just got finished repairing it (a few connectors needed replacing) and I'm starting to put it back in. I am 17 and this is my first car, and also first engine swap. I have had it for exactly a year and i really want to get her running. If you guys could help me out with pics or info that would be awesome, this is my pride and joy and i want to do this right the first time.

If you have some pics of where the grounds are located, that would definitely help. Also, I have the starter wires hooked up, but theres another two wires that look like they go to the starter(if you look at the engine bay, they are just to the left of the dist.) but they are far too short. Are these just grounded? Sorry about being so vague with the questions, i dont have a camera.

Lol, thats definitely where they went, thanks man. The harness for the engine('87) will just plug right into the chassis('92) one right?
