Well, the SD harness deal fell thru, so i am switching to an 87' harness. Yes, i gave up on the 85 harness. Anyways, I am having some issues w/ the distributor. The 85 is an in cap distributer, and the 87 is a remote coil. I was just wonderin what kind of adapters there are so i can use my 85' distributer. Another option is using the 87' distrbuter, but its in sort of sad shape and i would rather use the 85' if its viable.

 

well. i'm in a good mood right now and happen to have a spare dizzy from the parted 88 formie in the garage. if you wan't it it's free come and get it.
i'm not very far from you. oh yeah you have a p.m.

 

thanks for the offer, but i already swapped connectors between harnesses. the 85 dizzy should work now. My fuel pump issues are what are really frusterating me right now.

 

Hmm, another '85 with f/p issues? What's yours doing if i may ask?

 

Fuel pump is powered by the fuel pump relay and also has a backup system routed thru the oil pressure sensor.

If the relay is bad and you crank until I believe 4-6psi oil pressure it will fire the pump up.

Wiring issues here can cause issues and vice versa

actually.... I finally figured out what the problem was and it is sickening! I did not know there was a god damn fuse for the fuel pump near the battery! Anyways, that fuse was blown this whole time. I missed 3rd gen fest and have not been driving my damn car all this time because of a little 20 amp fuse!

 

i've never seen a fuse for the fuel pump near the battery it's always been in the fuse block.

 

I know what you mean, that's the stupidest placement idea I've ever seen. I thought i was crazy searching the fuse block for the FP fuse and finally found it in a weatherpack up there.
