Quick question about engine harness routing
Hey everyone,
The main front headlight harness comes out of the firewall on the left side of the brake booster behind the battery. From the connector it splits into two individual harnesses, one goes along the frame rail the other behind the engine. My question is does the section of harness that goes to the rear of the engine go over or under the brake booster? I'm thinking it goes over but I want to be sure. The car is a 1986. Unfortunatley there was no harness when I got the car so I am not sure of the routing. Using the helms I've managed to figure out all the other routing but I'm not 100% on this.
Thanks,
Brian

That's what I figured. Also, one other thing I'm trying to figure out where it goes - There is a stud mounted to a plastic mount with two screw holes in the top. There are five or six heavy gauge red wires with fusable links leading to the stud. It must be a power junction block. Could you tell me where it mounts? It *looks* like it mounts behind the battery directly under the hood latch recepticle but again I can't be sure.
thanks again everyone,
