Source of Vin H TCC Lockup and Distributor Wires

Hi All,

Did the Distributor/TC Lockup harness come through the passenger side of the car?

Trying to track down a replacement engine/computer harness for my car, but I can't remember if the distributor and lockup wires enter from the pass or driver side harness.

Thanks,

The ECM harness entered the engine bay through the pass side fender, near the blower motor.

Is the distributor and lockup harness part of the ecm harness?

the connections to the ICM in the distributor come from the ECM. I do not remember if the 86 had the small or large cap dist?

the other connections to the dist come from the engine harness. you can completely remove the ecm harness and the connections required for a mechanical HEI are still present.
