Couple of electrical questions

[Kevin Evans]

Hey all!

Does anybody have a pinout of the 8 prong white rectangular connector that goes from the driver side firewall to the ECU harness? I can guess at what some of the connections are for, but I'm not really certain (it has like the dashboard oil & temp sensors, ignition power I think, and a few others).

I'm also trying to identify a part that is on the lower part of the engine, near the oil pan on the driver's side. It has a 2 pin connector that (I think) should be connected to the ECU. It's not connected to anything and it's just hanging out there...

Thank you in advance

Sounds like the knock senser just in front of the starter correct? There are actually just a couple of wires that go to the computer through the 8 wire connector. Power to the coil and signal from the distributor and computer power. the rest are for oil pressure, water temp, alternator. Have you looked in the library for wiring diagrams?

Sorry been a while since posting here go to your local bone yard and see if you can find a manual for your truck they normally have a pile of manuals for cheap.
