Got some work done today but I messed up with the camera. Forgot to put the memory card in so the pics are in internal memory and I need to download on my wife's PC. Will post later.

Ok - today I embarked on the wire harness conversion as written up by Hank_Scorpio. Pretty straight forward but I still get the jitters cutting into a perfectly good wire harness assy. A couple of items.

• That harness is an oil and dirt trap right behind the fan. So I had to clean out the whole assy as I hate even knowing there is dirt and crud in there.
• Check all your connectors and wires carefully. I found some that were darn near close to breaking so I pulled them apart, re-soldered the connectors and put new loom on everything.
• I replaced the red 4gauge wires that go to the alternator and starter. Rather replace them now than later.

Did I mention dirt???

What the heck is this all about???

I hope these are the wires I was truly supposed to cut

Here is a fuzzy - unsexy pic of the results. I got the harness all reinstalled to the engine bay.

I also installed Slater's upport torque mount and the AutoMeter temp gauges in the single-DIN panel. There is a great firewall pass-thru on the passenger side and the time sensors cleared with no problems.
