I found it very helpful and interesting, It not only has alarm installations but a heap of other helpful information
Those instructions are for a 88 FC, and would not apply to an 86 at all.
In addition there a slight differences in the pin locations between the 87 and 88 models, so use care if using those alarm instructions to match to the wire colors I listed rather than the pins he lists.
sorry been out for awhile..hmm ..ok so all i have to do is find these wires n cut 1/8inch of plastic on these wires n connect the alarms wires to it right? thanks again for the help icemark

Hey Icemark,
Are you using the Excalibur book? or do you have the DEI CD? or?
I would like to get my hands on one of the DEI CD, any chance you can hook me up? My local distributor en P.R. won't sell them
oh one more question...what is meant by positve trigger and negative trigger..does it mean the pos/neg wires? i just want to make sure im on the right track. thanks

Positive trigger means it will be triggered (or will trigger) by a positive, same concept with the negative.

Actually, just from the top of my head.
I have the DEI CD's and would be happy to make a copy (I did for one of the others on this board), but the installation diskette is bad, and I need to send it back into DEI to get another.

All of that from the top of your head, WOW you are definetly ahead of me!!

Nah, I used to work on cars for a living, and I owned a 87 sport that I bought new for almost 10 years before selling it (should have sold the now ex-wife instead at the time when she said we need for me to have car with a back seat).
And I had just put an alarm and remote start in my 88 'vert only about 6 months before this thread was started, so it refreshed my memory.
I am putting in my alarm and it's almost done but I don't have a black and white wire at my FAP for the ignition.. I have a 87 base model.. could it be a different color?
Maybe the Black and Yellow?
Also my hood trigger doesn't work.. did cars shipped without alarms have hood triggers?
Yeah it's an old thread but it kicks ass. Without it I would not have been able to instal my alarm.
It's actualy been a lot of fun.. I've never done it before and the door actuators were cool to get working.
Thank you much for everything Icemark!
Oh one last thing.. is the car prewired for a hood sensor? I mean can I just get a pin and tap into the wires somewhere or do I need to run new wires... don't feel like taking the car apart again..
The problem with posting help on alarm installs in such detail is that you give thieves a blueprint of your alarm. This is why I try to refrain from offering such detailed advice or to have general rules on what wires goes where. It's easy for a seasoned thief to attack the wires going to the stock alarm, since he knows where this is already. I usually run my wires in very hard to reach places and keep them hidden as much as possible...
If anything, get a hood lock also. Since we've been coming across teams of thieves that like to break windows, pull hood latch, and cut the battery cable...in under 2 seconds, and it sounds like your alarm is just chirping.
