how do you mate a SBEC with 86 GLH-T

[Putter]

I converted carb omni to turbo 1, wiring was to put it bluntly fun, took 86 daytona harness and stripped out all the body wiring (lights horns etc) plus stripped out gauges, i took my omni and stripped out all the ESA system wires which only had about 3 going to bulkhead connector, once all harnesses were stripped, there was only about 6 wires that needed to be connected to bulkhead, and those 6 were removed from the ESA system, so just changed over to the bigger pin and snapped them into the bulkhead, made my own starter relay though so i didn't have to mess with any neutral saftey switches, (my EFI harness was auto, my car was stick). It prolly took 20 hours to do a very very profession job all soldered and glueshrinked. plus i used logicmodule/powermodule setup. it is doable, just needs lots of diagrams so you can figure out what you can actually take out instead of just leaving tons of wires unhooked.

40 wires, brain sturgeon. 40 pin bulkhead connector on an L body, and even then, not all 40 pins are in use. Probably 30 at most.

Stop being rude.
Treat others with the respect they deserve.

Thanks for your cooperation.

lol, speaking of meth, i knew a guy who loved doing wiring jobs, he used alot of meth and would work on wiring jobs for days straight......had some neat things when he was done, but wow was he nuts

I assume you didn't mean me, as I was simply replying to his accusation. He accused me of using drugs, and I feel my reply was very very civilized, considering.

[glht_omni]

i am not accussing you of using drugs, i'm just saying it is damn near impossible to convert an omni harness to '89 electronics in a hour unless somebody is hyped up on something- maybe even alot of coffee?

Mmm, cofffeeeee....

Mountain Dew to the rescue!

Hehe, I switched to Mt. Dew when I quit smoking cigarettes. Was actually cheaper to drink 12 cans a day than it was to smoke a pack a day.. Anyways, kinda off topic.. 30 connections, 1 hour, 2 minutes per connection. As I recall, it may have been more like an hour and a half. But that was only the time spent doing the soldering and such. The hunting for bulkhead pinouts took me about a month. People kept emailing me '88 N/A minivan diagrams.. Just different enough to make me want the real McCoy.
