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

So I won't need to worry about those if I'm not using the smog pump then, right?

Hrm, I must have the wrong Dist then... the connectors on the dist I have, look nothing like that.

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
