TPI Setup Help
Hey all
I'm in the process of dropping an 88/89 TPI engine in my 87 Camaro and I'm having a bit of trouble with the wiring. I can figure out where most of the wires go, except for a couple... Here's some pics. Maybe someone can help?

the green connector seems to fit in that grey solenoid, but I'm not sure where the white one goes

Can't figure these ones out... I know that the 6 point connector doesn't go to the wiper motor (it's already connected)
Does the 89 TPI harness come in 2 sections? I can't seem to find the distributor wires & can only find one connector for the coil.

the bottom one almost looks like it's the headlight module plug for a firebird, could be wrong though

Me thinks it's time to invest in the TPI Swappers Guide

When I did my TPI swap, I believe I used the distributor wires that were already on the car, I just changed the connector to match the small distributor. I am pretty sure that is what I did. It's been over a year and a half ago though.
The bottom picture looks a lot like the connector for ECM power, Fan Relay harness connector, and not sure what the white one is.
I just went outside and I couldn't find those 3 connectors

Well I got it all figured out... I was missing a pair of wires that ran from the distributor to the coil.
Now all I need is to get my hands on a dual fan setup
