87 Chevy R10 Electrical/Vacuum Help!??
« on: December 19, 2013, 09:11:53 pm »
I just rebuilt my 87 SBC 350 TBI and am in the process of hooking everything back up. I tried to diagnose the problem over a year ago and I can't remember where everything goes... So first of all, there's a vacuum port on the lower part of the cruise control that I can't find a hose for. Also a vacuum port on the outer part of the I wanna say EGR electrical harnesses on the passenger side of the block... Can't find where the electrical hookup for the oil pressure sending unit(the one right above the oil filter). Any pictures of a finished engine bay would be greatly appreciated since this is my first time actually rebuilding a motor and dropping back in. I'm about to start ripping my hair out over this!! I know this site is probably the best chance of having it back up and running by this weekend... Thanks guys!!

How about some pictures for reference from you...

Like the vacuum port for the cruise, do you have loose hoses and don't know which one or do you have nothing?
Is it the EGR harness or is it the mount that has the harness and the MAP sensor?
The oil sensor wiring for the side of the block would go to the gauge cluster harness.

These are pictures I took of my removing my 305 TBI:

Have you looked at the manuals?
All electrical is here on page 172: http://www.73-87chevytrucks.com/techinfo/7387CKMans//Wiring/ST_350_87_1987_Chevrolet_GMC_Light_Truck_Wiring_Manual_Complete_11x17.pdf

About midnight last night after probably 3 hours of looking online I was able to figure out all my vacuum lines. Thank God! The only thing I'm having trouble with now is locating the dang connector for the oil pressure sensor...
