Crazy ?
Would it be ok to put engine and trans in before the harness gets back or just wait? I tried to search but couldn't find anything. Thanks guys.

It's easier to plug all the connections in with the harness on the engine before you drop it in the car. Plus it's easier to route the bulk of the harness without the firewall and everything being in the way.

Re: Crazy ?
Thanks. Another question....the fuel sending unit has 4 lines coming off of it, a supply line, and a return line..what are the other two for? And what do I do with them?

Re: Crazy ?

Re: Crazy ?
I have a used Camaro crank pulley I would be willing to part with as I have a SLP underdrive pulley on my car. PM if interested.

Re: Crazy ?
I found it easier to put my harness in the car first and then I dropped the motor/trans then plugged the sensors in.I prewired the harness and shortend and lengthened what I wanted with the motor on the stand.Then put the harness through the firewall etc.Everyone has their method..either way works just fine.

Re: Crazy ?
The reason why I'm asking is bc I'm waiting on my harness to get ready and the city is getting in my butt for the car not working. So if I show progress then maybe they'll leave me alone lol.
