TPI complete transplant, 83 k10

Track down the wires from the injectors back to find out where they go.

You should be using the vette harness for the distributor, the only wires from the truck that need to go to the area are the "Batt" and "Tach" wires from the truck side. The truck should have a Batt wire that went to the distributor or ignition coil,  it needs to go to the same place on the vette ignition coil. Then Tach to Tach obviously if you have a tach. Use the truck wiring to go to the starter, should be a POS battery cable, and then a few wires, one being from the ignition switch to start the truck, and the other standard starter wires, I think there's 3 in total. The vette harness should have a wire that goes to the starter that gets energized when you start the truck, should be on the same post as the ignition switch wire, this tells the computer that your starting the engine.

That's the way it works on my TBI setup, I may be wrong but I think it works the same on TPI, maybe Capt will chime in again.

Well I found all the wires that I need to go to my new fuse box I'll buy tomorrow.
Got the wires separated, figured out.
I'll route them through the firewall tomorrow.
I have to order the prom though.

I've heard about burning your own. Anyone here done that. Seems that it cost as much to buy the stuff to burn as it does to buy one burnt. From what little I have read.

Also need to find out the proper belt length for removing the smog pump.

I think me not feeling well got me flustered. But I'm back on track now.

Ok cool. Glad you got it figured out. Not feeling your best can really mess up your wrenching skills, I know I've tried to wrench and just had to stop if I was sick cuz it don't work when your feeling ill. What fuse block are you getting?

One day I would like to get all new wiring for my truck, even tho I know alot of it is still good, alot of it is also not. One day I would like to get the harness from a 90s or maybe mid 2000s truck with all the normal stuff, cruise, ac, power doors and windows and power seats, sterio and just re wire the truck and just splice in the trucks original wiring where needed, for the cluster and steering colum and light plugs and such.  Would like to move the entire fuse block to under the hood, every single fuse and relay I can get there, I would like it all at one place under the hood in one nice neat box. But that's another topic for another day.

Anyways, on with your current project!

  I've never burned my own chips, and unfortunately I can't find anyone locally who still works with  TPI chips to have one done.
  I looked into a company called Fast Fuel Injection. They make a stand alone harness for TPI systems (my truck has a painless wiring harness) with its own self tuning computer. This system eliminates the need to burn chips. 
  The system cost about $900.  It's more money then getting a mail order chip (about $200) but is seems like a decent option if you plan on any engine modifications down the road.

I'm just getting a sealed 6 bank blade style fuse box from a company called Hutchinson here in Evansville. It's more than I need but I might need some more later.
I think I might just get a prom from Tpiparts.com that is VATS delete and maybe stage 1.

Oh ok. Cool cool. Don't forget about Howell Engine Development.

You want switched power to come from the truck harness.  As it is connected to the switch.  The Vette harness should control the motor.

[Brocksdad1]

Yes exactly I'm right with you

Good work so far! That's what we like to see. Looks good so far. The engine looks good sitting in there.

Nice. Have you decided where you are gonna put the ECM? In factory mount?
