Hi As I mentioned earlierin a previous post, I'm doing a 1988 350 tbi swap into my 1959 apache. Does anyone know which wires can be deleted from the stock harnesswhere,or where i can get some diagrams/tech info on the wiring? I've seen some really great trucks on this site, and figuered I could find help here.
Thanks

How close are you with your local Chevy dealer? They have all the wiring books on-site. My local dealer would let me borrow them, provided they were not in use. Maybe run down to Kinko's and make a copy? Be aware that they are not 8.5x11 paper. When I put the 2.5 fuelie in my buggy, I just removed all the obvious wiring, then removed 1 wire at a time, starting in between, to be sure everything functions. Its a lot easier than it sounds.

I use the original wiring diagram from the car the motor came out of and cancel out the wires. To give you a hint, if you use the original wiring harness with the computer and the motor has all the sensors you are most of the way there.Don't forget the oxygen sensor. Here is a name of a book that will help you in the future: CHEVY TPI FUEL INJECTION SWAPPERS GUIDE by John Baechtel or go to www.cartechbooks.com

Thanks Thespecialist, did you get board with CCT and decide to cause some mischief over here?

Well I had to feed my addition. CCT flows quite good, I guess I had to get the forum here a more of a kick start.By the way I still have those photos for you from the Goodguys Show in Phoenix.What email do I send them to.

Thanks for the input. I'm going to be installing the 350 as soon as I get my new tranny crossmember in the mail. I'm lifting the cab off the frame for an easier swap. Does anyone know the cleanest way to unhook the steering column. In the cab or under the hood?
thanks
