[QUOTE="Maverick26, post: 1549480, member: 18044"] Well I have done a good bit or reading and learning and I decided to start today by finding all the connectors that are not being used by the stuff I have removed from the new motor like all the EGR stuff and VSVs. The truck does not have AC or cuise so things can get simple. My 1981 truck harness will provide all the wires to the gauge cluster for the tach, fuel gauge, speedo is cable, and coolant temp, volt meter is easy, and the Oil PSI is live copper tube. I started at the new fuel tank and cut the 3rd gen connector off the harness for the gauge sending unit and spliced it on the end of my 1st gen harness. Fuel pump wires (one blue and one white) will run up the frame alone with the 1st gen sending unit wires. Fuel tank done! I Then took the engine harness off the motor, while unplugging connectors I know I need I labeled them for easy reinstall and so I don't flub up and remove wrong wires. I then removed all VSV wiring, 4x4 wires, electronic speedo wires to clean up the engine harness. I also removed the PNP switch wire, the stop switch wire and the speed sensor wire... I hope I did good on this cause most buggy harness do not have such systems. Believe it or not I was left with about 5 wires that come out of the dash harness grey plug and go to what looks like the steering collom area. This is where I will do more digging before I tie them into my truck. The white dash harness plug was completely eliminated from the system since this is mostly gauge wires. [/QUOTE]
