I like to use TinyPic - Share the Experience!™(You could use Photobucket, but then its in an album you would be compelled to keep organized)

when you upload it, Tinypic will give you a resize option if you need it.
Then you can copy the [IMG] link and paste it right in your post.
the pics of the alt were hosted with Tinypic
The engine pictures were simply hot-linked to wherever they already were, one of them looks like it went down already

I like to do my own cropping and re-sizing with Paint.Net.
It's free and open-source and stupid-simple to use.
You can get that here: Paint.NET - Free Software for Digital Photo Editing( for Windows)
I then upload to tinypic using the "default" file size cause I already re-sized.




When [IMG] code is pasted into the post, It looks like this:

Maybe My post wasn't as clear as I thought
That's HTML for the interwebz

It looks like now would be a perfect time to upgrade to later electronics


'cause I don't see the harness running from the PM to the LM across the top of the firewall - or do you already have a later ECU in there?
later-style electronics would replace the PM behind the left headlight and make it simpler to run higher performing cals and a 3bar map. you would want to upgrade to a later-style intake for sure and run an intercooler

you can find plenty of those pics right here on this site

[fochtup1]

no that pic was before i am going to run stock cause it will be running showroom stock class in the hill climb in my area. but i do have the engine in and harness across the fw and the pm and lm in, i'm just having problems with the rest. all the wires were in boxes and have a few different ones to choose from and not knowing where it all goes.
thanks i post some more pics shortley.

[fochtup1]

heres some more pics...you can see the mess i'm working with.
this is my firts dodge turbo that i'm doing...i built my 84 vw gti up and had torn down just as far but this aint no vw...lots more stuff.




i could not pass up on the price but i have a plate full till i get running which i'm hoping before july i'll have it on the road.
thanks, justin

[fochtup1]

heres some more

my ? is do these look right

harness from fuel pump...is that plug empty or am i missing something

i have most done right...i think

a few empties by the pass strut tower

the one hanging i have no idea where it goes

the harness coming off the alt is where i'm having problems
any help with these would be great
thankyou, justin

[fochtup1]

ps the ones coming from the alt do not reach anywhere that i can find.

[Screamin4banger]

ok, I will snap a few pics that I think will help sort out the alt and the extra plugs by the strut tower.

do you have to run that crummy hard vac harness in your class... i would think you could get rid of it


my engine is apart right now (the reason I couldn't give you an engine pic)..... but i'll snap pics of what I can

I really encourage you to look for an FSM on ebay or something...
You wont believe the amount of info compared to a chilton. and you can get the 3 vol set for like 30 bucks if you are lucky (like I was).

anyway, I'll go out to the garage after i finish my Gyro

[Screamin4banger]

Just got done editing...

I just took another look at the pics you posted to see if I got anything covered. They are really hard to look at... either too big or too small, never just right I usually tell people to use the highest resolution they can and use an editor to crop and resize. Did you check out the free editor I talked about before?

oh well. Once I get them hosted, I will post some pics I think you need to see.
If they help, then cool - if not.... then I dunno... you definitely need an 86 shop manual

[Screamin4banger]

The reason I included a pic of the "over the top" intercooler:

your rulebook might allow parts available from the factory in that year.
worth a look, anyway

[fochtup1]

thank you very much...your pics are a big help, i see i'm missing some sending units at the block where the turbo oil line goes on, the rest of my empties are for ac which this car doesn't have. i'm heading to the junk yard this morning cause i heard there is 1 turbo 1 car that just came in. i'll hope to get those parts missing.
thanks alot, justin
