heres a pic of the wiring
heres the location of the relays

on my harness i have a relay for the fuel pump already and just a grey wire sticking out. where do i connect it to on the stock fuse box. im guessing i would be bypassing the relay on the fuse box since i have one on the harness. what color wire would the stock fuel pump wire be that i need to connect the grey wire from the harness to???
i should be able to use the original starter wire from the truck. if not what do i do??
i have a connector on my harness labeled "vss" im guessing it plugs into the trans. but on my harness i have a dark green wire that also says vss. so im guessing the connector to the trans gives the pcm the signal and the green one is for the speedo?
has anyone done this before??

I know on the 92-93 the grey wire goes directly to the fuel pump as a power source.
oh ok so i can connect the grey wire from the harness to the grey wire in the fuse box. i could just cut the wire and connect it right?Quote:

and i broke the coil with one of the chains from the hoist
http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/...y/IMAG0615.jpg
also i was going to hook up my power steering pump today and realized on my obs i have 2 lines but on the lm7 there are 3 different connections on the ps pump...any help on this?
http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/...y/IMAG0613.jpg
so im still pretty much at a standstill. got the core support and bumper fenders and hood all bolted up finally. just sent out the pcm to get re programmed. waiting on my timing cover starter and coil. talk to a guy at jims performance and he told me how to sort out the wiring.

i had to get a harness from pull a part since i sold mine with my motor so his swap would be all plug & play for him. little did i realize at the time i was still going to need part of my harness.
ok i think i figured out the PS issue. i believe this motor came from a truck that had hydroboost so that third connection had something to do with the brakes...i dont know for sure just something i remembered when i was looking into hydroboost. can i just cap it off or what should i do?
basically the guy i talk to told me what pins to remove from the obs pcm and plug it straight into the ls pcm. makes for a really easy install without having to splice tomany wires.i have all the info scattered over a few emails. once i get it all compiled together ill make a thread. ill try to do it today.Quote:

thanks! i wouldnt have been able to do it without the help from this site! hopefully i can motivate others as well. im not a super mechanic by any means and im working with the most basic tools and i havent faced any major hurdles til today when i tried to remove the harmonic balancer. dont know how im going to get this thing off without and impact gunQuote:

yea i know about the puller just that bolt was kickin my arse! i will try again today with the jack handle!Quote:

i did the same thing. i used the hoist chain and used the jack handle and it came off. so now to autozone to rent the puller. wasnt that bad.Quote:

When we did mine, a compressor wasn't enough. It took a 4' cheater to break mine free.
yea im in the middle of relocating to another state so cant really spend too much on tools. finally getting out this stupid apartment and getting a conda with a garage! then the fun will begin. i got a 68 mallibu i want to do a frame off restoration too. but everything been on hold while i wait on some parts to come in the mail. hopefully when i get everything together this thing runsQuote:

oh that sucks. yea they sweat us about it around here where im at now. but after saving my landlord almost 2k by doing the headgasket in his 2001 accord he changed his mind about the oil stains in my parking spots. lolQuote:

Is there an o2 bung on them. did u get them off summit? and do you know the part number for them?
yea they have the 02 bung. i bought them off crqaigslist but i believe jegs has them for 249.99. i dont remember the part number but once i get home ill check.Quote:

part number 70-2265. they are for 99-06 fullsize chevy. yea the schoenfeids will not work with 4wd at all. they dont clear the front differential. only downside to them is the coating. i would definately suggest hetting them coated because mine are already showing some surface rust.Quote:
