Pretty sure that goes to the oil pressure sender (big dirty cylinder located underneat the oil filter).

It does go to the oil pressure sensor.

Taikutsu

UHH... yea u need it unless you have an aftermarket gauge tapped somewhere....

Taikutsu

you can solder the wires together permanently, shrink wrap over the solder and you'll be fine.

Yup.. When you start the car make sure that the little red light on the oil pressure gauge is not illuminated. It should be off when the car is running. Unless your low on oil..

Taikutsu

you guys are quick!

thanks again!

car has been down for a year and im finally swapping in another motor...hope to get it running soon ^_^

Taikutsu

hmm...ok few more q's

so on the engine i got it came with these 2 vac lines capped off and one missing on that top part is this for a boost controller hook up?


i ordered some blockoff plates today and have no airpump so im guessing these 2 pipes can be removed too?


hmm this lil thing looks like it broke off? what is it? haha


thanks

Wait a sec.... isn't that wire the STARTER wire and not the ALTERNATOR wire???

Take a look at the starter, it will be obvious where it goes.

Taikutsu

im pretty sure its from the alternator...there a lil connector that plugs into it right by the top, theres another connection for the starter farther down the harness

In the first pic you are right that is where the boost controller would hook up. In the second pic you can remove those pipes and there will be a block off plate for it in your kit( I should know i just did it too). That little thing in the third pic im pretty sure is for EGR and when you get your block off plate kit you can remove that too.

ooo...thanks

Have you looked at the FSM?

It goes to the starter.

Taikutsu

what are you talking about?
in the 3rd picture right above my middle finger thats the one that goes to the starter

Well... thats a very odd looking alternator wire boot ya got there then....

Looks exactly like the one that goes to the starter.

Where do you plan on plugging that small connector into? It doesn't have enough wire to reach the oil pressure sender.

And where are the other connectors on that "alternator" harness?

Show pics please.
