ok i got ride of the rats nest crap, plugged everything i thought needed it, now i just have these ugly wires there what do i do with those ?

 

Well duh!!!!!! Get rid of them.

 

i snipped all of mine off close to the harness, no worries. might want to disconnect your batt before hand...

 

heh i figured that much, but didnt know to snip them or not, and whats that wierd black wire that lead t osomething that looks like a sensor ? top back of the motor ? do i need that ?

 

is it shapped like a battery with 1 wire coming out of it to the wiring harness?

 

yeah, thats exactly what it looks like

 

I spent the better part of the weekend tracing what a previous owner had done to my car. The rat's nest was long gone, but I found all the wiring and connectors taped up to the rest of the harness. They were pretty well hidden, but I am getting rid of them, as I have no intentions of ever putting the nest back on this car (TX emissions testing be damned!). Checked out my brother's 85 (streetported, Holley, header, etc), and a previous owner had completely removed all the rat's nest wiring, all the way to the big black connector on the driver's inner fenderwell. Looked pretty decent, and that's what I plan on doing...but even cleaner. Pics will come when I get around to it, but I may wait a bit until all my wiring installs are done (ignition, e-fan, etc).

 

no idea what it is or does...when i took it off the wire broke off at the sensor, so i threw it away. no problem.

 

Its a condensor for rfi supression. It keeps the ign noise from comming thru your speakers.

 

oh
