The Spark/Fuel Management System in my TA was installed by a previous own. There are a few weather pack connectors that are unplug and are just laying loose in there. Is that natural?

 

Uh, that mangemant system is the ECM.....

Where are these unplugged connectors located, what do they look like, and are there any abnormal things going on with your car?

 

The hook up that I can recall off the top of my head is a male four cavity weather pack connector. A previous owner supposedly put in a 350 V8 LT1 from a corvette. I read that an Accel Spark/Fuel Management System comes with the hook ups for a LT1 and a TPI. Could the excess plugs be the TPI hook ups?

 

It would help greatly if you could tell us what motor is really in there, what ECM they used, and what wiring it is. Like: is it really a LT1? Is it really "from a Vette", or is that just the usual PO/used-car-sales monkey-spank? Is the wiring the stock LT1 wiring, Accel wiring, Painless wiring, etc.?

Without that, we are like the doctors in Arab countries in times gone by (or maybe not), who weren't allowed to enter a woman's tent to diagnose her illness; they had to do it from outside the tent, sight unseen. And I doubt our diagnosis would be much more accurate than those doctors', for the same reasons.

Might even be useful to tell us where these connectors are.

 

Almost everything the previous owner did on the car, and this is directly quoting my dad, "he did a half-*** job". So he may have kept the original wiring. The engine is a V-8 I'm sure of that but the air intake on the top of the engine doesn't resemble those of the LT1's in on line photos. I've been meaning to get the serial number off the engine but I can't see it because of the alternator and I've never messed with that stuff without help before. Most of the connectors reach to right in front of the carburetor.
