Engine wiring/vacuum connections!

[jgasca]

Seems to be a special order item from my store also. Better off just shopping online and ordering one. 50 friggin bucks, they damn expensive.

****, I would take my chances hitting a junkyard for a used one. Anybody know how to test these?

Well I was thinking of just ordering it at autozone by part number
This one's $30

Do we have a place to upload folders? I have most of the diagrams for the squares and will share them.

Trevis it is a lot more painless than rewiring from scratch. Send me a PM if you need help.

If you go to your profile there's a place there to make albums, if the diagrams are images you can upload them there.

I'm looking to replace the coolant temp switch (On the thermostat housing). Not sure which I need.

Also the connector doesn't look the same.

Hmmm Jose that sparks a question I've been trying to find a answer to, maybe you can tell me. I have my Temp Switch located on the driver side cycl head between the 1st 2 exh. ports. Which is the correct or better location. I have seen a mixed bag when it come to this question.

@ Guardian I will be send you a PM later today for more detaild help, for now do you have any tips for egine to frame, cab to engine, cab to frame grounds. Do I need that many gronds?

 

[89Suburban]

Do I need that many grounds?

Absolutely, you can not have enough. Between the rubber mounts on the motor and cab, very important to link all those grounds together.

Drive side cyl head is OEM location for the temp sender. I'd leave it in the head too. That is near the combustion chamber and where the motor gets the hottest.

Yes, more ground the better.

John sorry, but I'm a little unclear on the location you suggested. Do these are need to connect at the same location. I wouldn't think so, but I may be wrong, also what do you mean between the rubber mounts.
