Engine diagram please help?
« on: June 24, 2012, 11:48:49 AM »
ok i have an 82 c10 not sure if its a custom deluxe, scottsdale or silverado. it came with a 4.1L it now has a 350 which i pulled to do a LS swap. there is a bunch of wires that are cut and i want to see if i will need them later on down the road. ive looked at diagrams on here and nothing seems to match up with what i got. any idea how i can find the right diagram i need? when i print a engine diagram up, i go outside and the color wires dont match up or on the diagram they aint even listed.

I've had good luck with thisin the past so I will pass it on. get a cheap repair manual. In the back of the book there are always wiering diagrams for all the major systems in the vehiclespecific to theyears covered in the manual. hope this helps. Most of these manuals ar about $20. Good luck and we all like pics

i was having trouble but i figured out what was wrong, the truck had a 6 cylinder to start off with, someone swaped a 350 into it,so i was thinking since it had a 6 cylinder i should be going off the 6 cylinder diagram. well that wasnt the case. i guess they must have swapped the engine harness as well? any ways who knows. the problem im having now is, in the 8 cylinder engine diagram, i cant seem to find the wiring area where the wires come out the firewall and goes to the blower motor, resistor, and that relay. i looked on every diagram can someone help? its an 82 chevy c10 short bed.

there is something on the diagram page 379, but it dont show were the wire comes from or even the right color wires. or where the wires go from the compressor.

The other side of page 379 is here, the wires go into the firewall right near the heater box.
