Hi all,
I’m helping a friend of mine finish the engine swap he started years ago. Originally the guy who did the mechanical work cut the plugs out and basically took the money and ran. I’m here to help and it’s a mess. Everything explorer is out of a 1991. I’ve followed the tech guide that James Oaks authored and am running into a few problems. I have it turning over but not firing.
1. Pk/blk from Ex harness I can’t find the mate. Can I run it under the passenger side dash to the pk/blk wire from inertia switch?
2. Alternator idk where to start cause he keeps it real cryptic in his original post. “Contact me for wire colors” anyways I’m just gonna try the diagrams see if I can figure it out or it’d be stellar if someone that knows could tell me.
3. Blk/lb wire from big white plug says to find over on passenger side. Idk I’ll try to find it but again any help would be appreciated.
Pic is of how I’m trying to make it work and look decent still in progress but got a plug out of a f-150 that has 14 connector so almost all wires are going through it now.
Please help any suggestions or advice is welcome.
