KS I need an eletrical genius (swaping motors)

hey every one, I am swapping motors in my 1979 rx7 and i need help with the wiring harness, I accidently cut some wires that i think i needed and dont know what to do. I am hoping to find someone that lives in the kansas city, mo area that could come and check out my problem. I might need a new harness or not i dont know? If you know how to wire up a first gen live near kansas city, kansas let me know, or call me at 913 940 6071, thanks Eric

Get the OEM Electrical manual : $15 on ebay most times.
Maybe you should clarify;
-you "Cut come wires" - then just re-attach, they are color coded
OR
-you "Cut OUT some wires" - as in, chopped and chucked...?
New harness not an option - NLA, tho finding someone stripping a wreck is certainly possible-
Where/what part of the harness did you cut? Main? or engine. Engine one is a smaller sub-harness, easier to replace.
Swapping motors: 79-to-79, or....?? That MAY make a diff as harnesses can be engine-specific, depending on what is damaged. Need more info here-
Don't need a genius, just some patience and common sense...
