....well I started at the fuse block and I will say it worked out nice..hopefully some of my pics show how the harness wire fits behind the space where the windshield washer motor is..then I dropped the wire that runs down to the transmission ...a clip on the M40 secures it...it should orient itself when you then run the wire across the drivers side valve cover..you want the harness to look right up against the fire wall...then I brought that next harness wire to the passenger side and ran that up to the a/c..here is a photo of the wire uninstalled...it will be interesting if these companys are exactly the same as to how they make them..I will say this..the harness fits perfect...no extra slack..one wire did pull out of a connector as if it had not been pinched hard enough...I need to address that( a connector for the washer motor)...other than that it fits like a glove..I posted athread, but no replies yet..I am installing a unitized distributor and this is the correct harness for it...I need to be certain I am hooking up the starter correctly....all of my connectors are idiot proof, in other words they will only go on one way..455 H.O.COM has information on a engine harness install too..I am going to check that out again and compare...my T.C.S. connector has the correct resistor just like factory..important that goes on correctly...in NJSTEVES thread he said he had a 50/50 chance and got it wrong the first time!!...so I need to get it right!!..it should go no problem...took an hour today...and an hour to finish the M40 and a/c tomorrow and hopefully the starter!!!
