Seriously, he must have the hiccups.

Anyways:

On the Black Harness (near the diagnostic connector)

----GROUND #97 (tan/light green - 18ga) to a suitable chassis ground. This creates the ground for the primary side of the fuel pump relay.

---Wire #39 (red/white 20ga) to the temp sender.

---Wire #31 (white/red 20ga) to the oil pressure sender.

Just put another MAF harness back in.

Seriously, going carb is more of a headache. It's not that much easier to tune. If anything EFI is much easier to deal with.

spelling and Grammar are a little different. I don't really care about spelling if it's close, The United States Constitution has over 180 miss spelled words.
All I did was say Huuuua, and I got a :Zip2: and a "Seriously, he must have the hiccups." To which you say nothing. I think it's a 'Whatever'.

And speaking of spelling, you must have taken "Grammer" school in Alabame.

Play nice guys. Stay on topic. Plenty of people misspell and post incorrect punctuation. It's the internet...it happens

Is the gauge cluster temp sensor the one that's at the front of the intake? the one that has threads but nothing threads on just a slip/push single wire connector that has a 90degree beand in it?

i r not sure.
