Is there a video on installing an 84 engine? Just had mine rebuilt and want to make sure i get all the wires hooked up in the correct location. specially on the bell housing/firewall? Thanks

Many pictures beforehand would have saved you much aggravation now...

Factory service manual comes to mind. A video on the entire process would probably be unlikely.

We can always post pictures of the harness routing if you get stuck. I have an 84 and I would be happy to post pictures of the harness if you are having trouble. You should also consider purchasing both parts of the FSM as it will be of great help. And taking pictures of the engine and wiring before pulling it would have really helped out here. But now you know for next time so it's all good.

I've got a few pics, just questioning on where a few wires bolt on near firewall. I assume they connect to bell housing. And the aluminum wire harness that comes from the distributor assembly where there are other wires with brown caps that snap into their mates. Just haven't found a place to connect all the wires.

There is an earth stud on the back of the left bank head. If I recall there are four or five earth wires that connect there.
