Just about a completed harness:

Have to solder up a few things, test fit it in the car and then fix anything else I see. After the engine harness, I get to work on moving the fuse box.... :(

Thanks. It's pretty tedious work but it's not bad once you get into it.

What all did you take out of the harness? I'm guessing the brake fluid sensor and whatever else is pretty worthless along the firewall. Was it hard to get the harness out? I might be doing this to my car now.

Its not too bad to remove the harness. You have to remove the glove box and the metal bar it bolts to, then remove the 2 parts of the heater core on the passenger side and it's a piece of cake then.

Mounted the 99.9% finished harness in the engine bay tonight. Have to modify the hole a little bit so the plug fits, but I'm happy with the results:

Here's a shitty photo I tried to take of how I routed my wires:

Yeah, I just noticed that ground too. Once I have my transmission installed again I will have the starter harness in there as well. But that's all you will see as far as engine bay wires.

Very nice. I like how you ran it through the other side of the intake manifold.

Thanks. Yours is looking very good too.


I finished hooking the entire engine harness up. Besides the plugs which go to the fuse box, this is what the engine bay looks like with everything hooked up:

Here's where I ran the plug for the wiper motor:

Anybody want to donate a shit-ton of wire? Looking at just the main fuse box harness, I have over 40 wires to cut and extend about 7.5 feet.

Good luck on the fuse box. I decided I'm just gonna leave mine where it is. What are you gonna do to plug the whole up where the harness used to be?

I have a plastic plug I'm going to put in there.
