Some of your squared plugs won't have a home. The boost solenoid connected to your igniter uses one of those plugs, but I recommend not using it. All the ones closest to the engine have a home especially around the injector area. The AFM, injector resistor and igniter are a gimme'. The rest of the guys can fill in the blanks.........

I just followed the SR wiring diagram. Worked fine. Though when it tells you to run a switched 12V to the O2 sensor just hook up the brown wires to the brown wires. If you look up the heavythrottle wiring diagram, you'll know what I'm talking about.

Well, I got the wiring infor from heavy throttle, and I am going to wire the car like they say. Just leave unused plugs undoe. I am going to have to re-wire this car at a later date. kinda messy. I eventually want to fix it up, but now i just want to see everythign work. lol

well, the wiring is complete except for the Dash Harness. The plug on my KA harness is a female type, and the CA harness is a male type. This is a little bit of a problem. Other than that, I think It is ready to go once I get the piping. And, there is a small oil leak I am trying to locate.

Yea, I was lucky enough to have both the male and female of the CA and KA harnes, so I made a little sub harness thing and it all plugs in.
