I have read on tgo threads that to do a tpi removal for sale I couldn't cut any wires or shouldn't but give me a break my motor is ready to go and I do want the resale of such complete tpi system for sbc to pay for all my up grades but I also would really like to push the easy button bout now any help would be greatly appreciated everything is wrapped together I do have the ECM out and all the stuff through the pass side foot well. Yellow box that says 4 out on it comes from same wad of wires.

 

Not really sure what you're asking, but...

I have a wiring harness that is complete from ECM to the front of the engine bay, Bulkhead connector included.

So it must be possible to so without cutting and hacking things up.

 

Are you asking about the yellow buffer box on the back of the ECM cradle?

 

Maybe that's what it is it , what does it do?

 

Speedo buffer

 

damn, had to run back out in the cold garage just to find out, YEP that's it. Thanks Vader. And to mike what all did you get as far as wiring goes?

I don't know what just happened w/ pic anyways did it kinda look like this mess? That big wad of wires makes me nervous it looks as though some wires may have to go back through to something I don't know what. what are the pink detailed white connectors right next to ECM to? Do they go back through? I obviously haven't done this before but nothing hacked yet. The bulkhead connector is tough I took a screw driver and hammer to it. Bulkhead Connector 1 Wade 0

 

I've never stripped one out myself, but to get topdollar for what you have, you'll want to drop the ECM, unplug the connectors on it, then start seperating wire from there...i/e if something from the ECM doesn't go through the firewall, then follow it and pull it as well.

As far as what I got, it looks like the whole shooting match from ECM to drive a TPI setup.

FWIW, the reason to try to keep it all intact is an aftermarket harness wil run someone over 200 bucks...so you can see the value added to your sell if you take the time and be careful about the deinstall.

 

that white connector goes to the dash plug in. (has the injector power from the fuse block ect.) I am confused though as it seems like you are installing it? or removing?

 

I'm a takin it out 88 350 tpi and ANY help would be grately appreciated, that depending on wether youv'e done this before. I really want to keep damage down to a min actually nill Thanks

Blue is ECM
Pink = Inj
Lt Blue =Alt
Red=Starter
yell=Wire loom to drivers
That white plug came from under pass side footwell, Same place as ECM. And is connected into the wad-O-wires that roll to the ECM.Will I have to unravel all this? And this goes thru that Bulkhead Connector that is like the 70s Pittrburgh Steelers defense (Iron Curtain) I must have to cut wires there?Or don't I need that white Connector?

 

Is it just a feed for Inj power to the ECM from a far away place.

 

no cutting needed at all! just unplug all the connections by the ecm and feed them through the fender and out the eng. bay. the other end of the harness unbolts (using a center bolt) by the brake booster the rest is just sensors and such that are in the eng. bay


"Is it just a feed for Inj power to the ECM from a far away place."

yes, and more things run through it. as far as the power for the injectors go yes, from the fuse block (inj fuse 1 and 2) run through it. I know this because when swaping the eng./ ecm harness to a none tpi car I had to run the injector power from the fuse block to this connector.

 

Thanks alot 88 350 If there is any thing else you can think of please let me know. BTW did you get the Speedo Buffer w/your setup?
