That's a horrible diagram for how mine is wired. I'm using an HEI distributor (with the coil in the cap) and an MSD 6AL magic box. When you are yanking the old wiring out of the car, mark which BWS (Black with White Stripe) wire was attached to what, because you end up with 3 BWS wires, two of which appear to be switched hot wires, and one that (I hope and pray) is the tachometer wire. The Green wire with the white strip is on when cranking (once again, I hope) so it'll run your fuel pump while you are cranking. The JTR manual was a bit vague about that.

If I'm wrong about any of these, sombody please set me straight.

What make wiring a FI engine any harder? Well I bought a harness for my LT1 so maybe that's why I think its easy? I just left the lights, washer pump, windshield wiper motor, horns, fuel pump, interior wiring, starter wires, and a few other "odds and ends" untouched. Although I don't have my engine in the car yet so I could have cut some wires that I thought I didn't need out! :shock::bonk: I should have my engine back this next weekend so I will find out soon if I cut too many wires!

 

:hail::hail: <----Praying to the electrical gods that I didn't cut too many wires!
