83fox · May 12th, 2008, 07:54 PM

naw i just got home from work and i dont have a camera yet. once the lady gets here ill snap a few pics of the jungle of wires and lack of whole motor haha. so hold ya horses

ujslost · May 12th, 2008, 08:10 PM

intake specs look up there ^

83fox · May 12th, 2008, 10:37 PM

great now im stuck between weiand and the edelbrock intake haha

ujslost · May 12th, 2008, 11:06 PM

same here but since i have deep gears and nitrous, i think the stealth comes in a little bit early for me, still unsure. Im gonna chat it over with a guy i talk this sorta shit with alot.

baine21225 · May 12th, 2008, 11:06 PM

so we getting pics or what?

83fox · May 12th, 2008, 11:13 PM

i have stock gears and im goin NA haha

and yeah your getting pics in a few minutes

how the hell do you put pictures up on here anyways?

ujslost · May 12th, 2008, 11:21 PM

upload them to photobucket or similar site, then cut and copy the IMG code from the upload site and paste them in the box here like you do when you reply to posts

83fox · May 13th, 2008, 12:07 AM

alright heres a picture of the whole engine bay. its takin too long to load them onto photobucket tonight and i gotta hit the hay now. and dont worry about the jacket and towel, those flow much better than any edelbrock intake...

hope that works

the rest of the pictures will be uploaded tomorrow. night yall

nba1341 · May 13th, 2008, 12:12 AM

holy shit that is a lot of wires lol

ujslost · May 13th, 2008, 12:15 AM

not really. its just unorganized and looks like some has either been added or hacked up

83fox · May 13th, 2008, 01:00 AM

yeah its been hacked up pretty bad. i just want to get rid of all the unwanted wires before i go and fix all the hacked wires

heres the rest of the pics

on the end of the wire im holdin is a u shaped piece of plastic that says tach test on it. my dad thinks it goes to my coil but i cant find it in my wiring diagram

for 500 bucks i couldnt pass up an 83 fox with 80,000 miles, a 5 lug swap and a brand new/rebuilt aod. and it dont need more than a couple hundred more bucks to get on the road too. alright for real this time, im headed to bed. later guys

ujslost · May 13th, 2008, 04:16 PM

yeah that goes to the coil

ryans88gt · May 13th, 2008, 04:44 PM

Looks like you should start by taking all the wires out of the looms and figuring out what is needed and what isn't. Remove (but do not hack up) the wiring that isn't needed (you never know, you might actually need it). Then lay everything out where you want it and buy new wire loom. You can combine all the wiring into a few pieces of wire loom rather than having 50 different single wires going all over the place.

Overall it looks like you don't have too much extra wiring, you just need to get it organized and hide it a little better.

For example I have way more wiring on my car than that, but it looks relatively clean.

83fox · May 13th, 2008, 06:49 PM

yeah the guy before me hacked a lot of the wiring and its a PITA to figure out where they all go too. im just a little scared of taking out some wires and then go and try to start my car and nothing happens. im gonna try that loom idea and see how it goes.

and thats a damn clean engine there man.

do i need that tach test if i go with an aftermarket coil like the msd blaster coil?

ujslost · May 21st, 2008, 09:47 PM

gotta have that man, thats what powers your ignition coil
