I just finished ordering the two inlet tube pieces for the install and they should be here sometime next week. I bascially need some wire to run from the cruise control and fuel pump connections. Anyone what gauge wire I need? also what gauge wire for the maf plug to the eec?

I used a conversion harness similar to this one when I converted my 87vert

I saw that and that was probably the way to go but.......putting mine together piece by piece has only cost me $51 thus far-
$11 four wire connector pigtail (w/the two additional already crimped)
$15 for MAF (19lber)
$25 for both inlet tubes needed (this was a hard to find part)
Just need to add the additional wiring for the fuel pump and cruise control.

I figure computer will be another $90-125 depending on where I get it. Anyone have a hook up on a
an A9L??

14G? That's big. It's not a heavy load. 18 should be plenty heavy enough.


I know someone with an A9L, but unsure if he's still selling it. PM me if interested and i can find out
