Forward light and engine harness sealant
I've googled and searched and only found a couple of camaro forums talking about this. I'm redoing all the wiring and installed the dash harness. I wanted to install the forward light harness and engine harness but according to the AIM i need to apply GM 9980664 sealer to the firewall ahead of them. When I removed them there was a black rubber sealant that I scrapped off that basically looked like black RTV. I cant find this sealant or an equivalent. I know this has been done a thousand times so what did everyone else use to seal the harness at the firewall to keep out water? RTV silicone? I guess regular stuff not engine temp RTV? Or do I need something else? Thanks again for the help!!!

There is a sponge gasket on the fuse block side too. Some RTV sure couldn't hurt. Some of the GM sealers and other chemicals have long been discontinued. Shame too- they had some grease that looked like peanut butter that was the best thing ever for lubing the slide points on disc brakes and the adjusters on drum brakes.
