Re: 89 Tpi set up

Never really had TPI but i bought the car as a shell and i found out it had an engine fire sometime in 1996 and the harness was replaced with a very weird harness it looks like a 85-88 harness but all the connections say its an 89 (no 9th injector) and also the pump is dead but i have everything wired up but the harness is dead at some spots and i just dont wanna keep throwing money into this thing i just wanna get it on the road already and either way i gotta drop the tank so might as well replace the pump with a pick up tube throw a carb on it and a mechanical pump and drive it!

ITS EASIER TO BUY A NEW HARNESS AND START OVER RATHER THAN DECIPHER A P/O'S INSTALL WITH POSSIBLE FUBAR WIRING.
