Re: Freddy's '52
Thanks for the compliments guys. I told my wife about your comment OrrieG, she laughed. She is a very patient woman, I'm so very lucky.

Re: Freddy's '52
Yes she is yes you are, I washed some truck tail lights in the dish washer one time my wife went WWE Throw down on me. If I would have walked in with a wiring harness and laid it on the table WW3, the world would have ended.

Re: Freddy's '52
Well, I've working on Fred's wiring harness. I went back the junkyard where I bought my motor and robbed some more connectors off the Z that my motor came from and another Z of it's harness cause I had cut mine up. I had some really good ideas over the holidays for the wiring on the truck. Trying to use factory plugs so I can unplug things and not have to cut the wiring. I also spent all my Christmas money on new hoses and such. I went to my muffler guy in town and he fixed me a piece for my header since my steering shaft goes through it. You can also see where I had to modify the two middle tubes for clearance. Hoping to have it running by the end of January.
Rootbeer do you have any good schematics for a 1985 S10? I have a Haynes book and ones from the Autozone website, but still am having troubles how to do the ignition hookup using the s10 harness and its steering column. |

Re: Freddy's '52
SSR I might have something else that will help you, your using a harness from a 94 Z28 right?I should be able to get a PCM connector view that will make things a lot simpler for you, I can only get it off all-data so I will post it tomorrow.I use them to wire up a 95 350 TBI motor so they can learn how to read diagrams. Hopefully they have the same one for you car. I will say GM used a lot of the same wire colors for a lot of years in cars and trucks for the ignition switch and early 80 GM wiring diagrams SUCK!

Re: Freddy's '52
You are right RB it's a '94 Z28. What I'm doing is using the underhood fuse block/wires from the Z since it has fan relays and fuses for injectors, o2's, fans, and ignition. The extra fuses(wires)not used like for the air pump/fog lights will be for the fuel pump and map sensor. I want to use the S10 harness for starting and everything else(except gauges which will run from the PCM/engine), the schematic you sent helps me big time. I know I have one(pink)wire from the uhfb to go the ignition switch and one(orange) wire for the ignition and one(red) wire hot at all times. The relays have there own hot wire. I'm trying to keep it as close to factory as I can. I hope this makes sense.

Re: Freddy's '52
Well, with two days snow/ice and no chance of going to work (awe shucks) we produced some results. I got the harness for both the LT and S10 put into place, fuel pump wires ran and souldered many wires together. I may move the ECM onto the inner fender later but it is finally coming together. Look at all the purty colors....No church tonight so I will get some more done then.

Re: Freddy's '52
Maybe this will make more sense. On the S10 schematic there is the orange wire from the switch going to the fuse box, I'm assuming that is "ignition switch"(hot in run). Then the pink wire from the switch to the coil and fuse box, I'm assuming that is "ignition"(hot in run bulb test and start). Forgive me for asking so many questions, but I sure do appreciate your help.

Re: Freddy's '52
Man that looks familiar, I haven't got brave enough to cut the ECM wiring yet I am still figuring out were I am going to mount it. If I get brave enough under the dash is were I would like to do it.It sure looks like you have got a lot of room between the engine and cab maybe its cause I have my front clip on.
We've had the last two days off from school, 8" inches of snow and 0/ -15 wind chills(I bet the Canadians get a laugh if they read this), Its bummin me out to keep having snow days that's more nice days in May we have to go. Joe

Great progress .... I couldn't stop reading. I'm down the street in Lawrenceville. I hope to see this truck out this summer.

Re: Freddy's '52
More accomplished this last week/weekend. Been removing wires from the s10 harness that won't be used, got the brackets on the engines finally finished/painted and bolted up for the last time. Bought new plugs /wires to replace old, then I got the nerve up to remove a valve cover and to my surprise this 120,000+ mile motor looked pretty good up top so I hope the bottom is just as good. Here'a shot of it.

Re: Freddy's '52
SSR
Let me know how it goes. Were is hawks? 50 bucks is a good price, lt1 swap is a couple hours down the road from me, 30 miles from were my mom and dad grew up. But if I could get it done for 50 I am willing. We got all the head,tail,brake and turn signals working, power seats bolted down and working. I finally gave the ok to put my wiring harness on a diet, Trim a little check and see if all is still working, trim a little more. One of my student was working on seat belt locations, mounted them temporarily were we thought would work came said; I think we have a problem with the seat belts I can get the belts buckle but I don't think a bigger guy like you will get them to buckle.Umm well he was right time for me to go on a diet.

Re: Freddy's '52
Well Monday made the trip to SC to get my ECM reprogramed and then went to Southern Rods and got my A/C-heat unit. Took all day but, saved me a little money. The last big purchase left is getting the gaskets/rubbers for the cab/doors and get two pieces of glass made for the windshield. Everything else is nickel and dime stuff and then getting it going.

Re: Freddy's '52
Been plugging along getting things buttoned up on my engine. Hopefully get it cranked by months end. Little things like wire loom, getting hose made, mounting headers and replacing stuff with new items. Not any pictures to show for those things. But, I got my mandrel bent 90's yesterday and spent last night getting my fuel filler tube mocked up. Here are the pictures.

Re: Freddy's '52
Yeah RB I am getting a new pair of Z28 hoses.
Got some things done Saturday and on my day off Monday. Got frame made to relocate fans, fuel filler tube completed, radiator put it again and front clip mounted again. I think I'm gonna have to pull it off one more time to trim some metal in various places. I took my truck off the jack stands and FREAKED out, it had been so long since it was on the ground I had forgot just how low it sat. Here are pictures. |
