now, can i move that wire to a diff spot on the firewall connector, maybe group it with the fan wire, since thats where its moved to in the earlier cars, orrr try and find an 88 camaro tbi harnes?
Yeah you could move around the pins in that connector to match up to your car. If that does not work then get another harness.

Is it safe to assume your blower fan does not work right either?

nah actually just fixed that.... the hvac wiring was slightly different... i may just find an 88 harness after all.... the 90 has no windshield wipers in it, its on the headlight harness and the pins dont match up either...

thanks everyone! im sure there more probs to come tho lol

lol until i find an 88 harness, i tapped into the old air pump wires i had cut out.

car runs pretty good, took it for a quick spin yesterday!
still needs some finishing touches like....
get the timing set
carb tuned
still have one fuel leak from the regulator
get tthe kickdown cable to stay attached to the carb!
and other small stuff
