Few assorted TPI wire and hose questions.

Okay, tieing up all the loose ends from a project that has been on hold.

1. There is a wire loom running along the top of the Passenger side fenderwell. It has 2 wires in it, One is a ground, that is grounded to the fenderwell, back near the ac box. The other wire, goes back to the ac box area, and connects to a red wire. This red wire then goes over the ac, and near the Transission dipstick, it has a disconect harness. I need to know what the hot wire connects to up near the battery. Does it go to the battery? What does it power?


2. Cruise control canister near the charcoal canister. It has 3 hoses, one goes under the fender, to a vacum canister ( I think) the other goes into a hardline on the frame. The othe, which comes out at the top, does it go to the intake, vacum?

3. Windshield washer hose. Coming out of the pump, it has a tee. Why? It only seems to have one hose going into the firewall.

4. Vacum hose for the fuel pressure regulator. I am using a regular style regulator, that does not use vacum. Can I just cap this line?


Thansk to all in advance.

Ditto, on my '88.

2. Only 2 lines on my '88.

    3. No Tee on mine.

    4. Cap it if you're not using it, you mean aftermarket regulator?
    TPIs require about 35-48psi from idle to WOT how to you get around that?

    Thanks.

    I am running a big Magna Flow, now called Magna Fuel Regulator. I am running a Stealth Ram, and have my rails plumbed in braided, An style.
