Re: LT1 into a 85 camaro

Label Everything. Get your hands on the 1985 wiring schematics, and compare them to the 4th gen harness.

The 4th gen harness is mostly stand alone. So you'll basically be running 12v switched power to the PCM, grounding it, and running the dash outputs to the C100 connector for tach/sensors.
