Title: 5.3 Swap questions
Post by: youngboyinthe74 on November 13, 2014, 07:40:42 PM
Hey guys,  im doing a 5.3 swap on my 74 c10 and i have a couple questions about wiring the motor up.
1. From the factory harness, what are the main wires needed?
2. Which color wire is for the fuel gauge and do i just run that to the sending unit even tho it has power coming from relay?

Factory Truck harness or the 5.3 harness?
the fuel gauge uses a pink wire.  it will be in the same harness as the power wire.

You need the starter, power distribution, Alternator, AC and gauge senor wiring from the factory setup.
What are you going to do for the speedometer?
