Help with wirng on my '86 V6 - V8 conversion

EazyE-CPT · 08-11-2002, 02:06 PM

I got the engine in the car (from a '86 lincon mark VII), and I got a main wiring harness from an '86 Mustang 5.0.

First off, theres like 4 plugs on the main harness(the one the computer's attatched to) There on the the part of the harness when it first enters the engine area, I think one of them is probaly for AC, but Ive eliminated a/c on my car. Anyone know what the rest of them are for? They've got nothing to plug into.

Second, Will I need a new harness for the front of my car(the one that ties into the headlights, alternator, parking lights, horn)? Because the V6 alternator wiring doesnt match my V8 alternator. Can I just use my V6 alternator temporarily? Or can I just buy an older style V8 alternator that could work with my front wiring?

Any input is appreciated

Well I was able to make the V8 alternator work(hopefully anyways). I just spliced the wires up.

Can anyone provide some help for question #1?

The wiring is not for the ac. That wires in elsewhere. The wiring closet to the passenger side firewall is for the TPS sensor, EGR Sensor, Smog Pump Canister, and ATC Sensor.
