Thanks but did not really find what I was looking for in the links.
Guess all I really need is a engine compartment schematic for a 86 z28.

Thanks in advance

Austin's Thirdgen. Google him, he has schematics for almost all 3rd gens.

Everything you need is in that link, the Holley is really not much different than doing any other LS swap if you extrapolate the data.

**Le sigh, from the previous link**

Read. Then read some more. Then go back and re-read. All the information has been covered on the car side

Re: 1986 Z28 LS Swap Engine wiring help

An original factory service manual will have all the schematics. Everything was printed in books back then so search for and buy the book.

I didn't have the book when I did my car, so I had to backwards engineer everything. I found some documentation on this site that gave me an idea what was where, and then sat down with a multimeter and checked all my connector pinouts and documented what was what for my car. Would have been easier with the right service manual.

I have enough documentation in my build thread to get you going, and then you can tailor it to your car which will be a little different.
