OK folks, little bro just picked up a very nice 92 RS. He's wanting to detail and dress up the engine bay and claims that he wants to try and hide as much of the wiring harness as possible. He's also talking seriously about pulling the a/c as it doesn't work and doing the delete swap. So here's the request: any of you that have gone to the trouble of rerouting, rewiring, or just plain removing the wiring harness from your TBI powered F bodies post a pic here. That way he can get some ideas and an idea of just what all will be involved. He said that he would use mine as a guide but since I'm swapping to TPI soon he wants to see as many as possible.

 

Here's one of mine. not the cleanest, but i still have smog equipment. Relocated AIR controls to the passenger fender, And heater valve delete. Still has A/C and ugly(need new) coolant and washer bottle. Stock wiring. Guys at the races were impressed with how clean it is. If you can get rid of the smog eqip, you can make it that much better. and delete the A/C

 

well, this is an old pic, quite a bit has changed, but the wiring is simpler and the A/C is removed and i just put an adjuster on the alt to make the belt work.

 

Not very clean at the moment, but I have alot more to contend with in the same space than you car/SUV guys do.

 

like what?

 

Heres mine. Totally stock L03.

 

Lack of space. I have 20 things trying to occupy the same little area. Transmission dipstick, extra long engine oil dipstick, A/C, cruise wiring, cruise, throttle cable wrapping around engine from the front, wiring harness can only go one place, etc.

 

i dont have a pic for ya of my buddies car but his looks like a 60's model all you see basically is spark plug wires. Get open element delete the ac get rid of smog. Get a kit that puts your alt where your smog pump use to be you that will get rid of your pulleys up top. You can reroute your coolant hoses to get rid of that annoying vavle with the 3 outlets.

 

what about the ect wires, and tbi wires?

 

Mine is pretty much stock too. Superbee's looks sharp. Almost can't believe it's a TBI.

 

Thanks, ill try and get an updated pic, the tbi isnt all nasty now, and the wiring is better.

Here is a pic of my 1989 RS 350 TBI, check it out!

 

Hilbilly Jeeper, what did you need for hardware to relocate the air assembely? just heater hose?

also what did you do to the heater core manifold?

and that engine bay looks friggin awsome for a smogged TBI!

 

Well, its not quite smog legal, with the open element on it. but everything else is. (if you dont tell them its a 350!). I just used heater hose relocate the AIR control, and some speaker wire. when i get a change, i get pictures up of where its sitting. As for the heater, i just pulled the control, and left it so its flowing all the time, and plugged the one outlet on the "T" on the hard line. Even today, at 95 or so, the A/C still blows cold, and thats with a off the shelf conversion kit to 134.

 

i cleaned up my engine bay with a new engine if that helps, all smog deleted

 

nice borsty
