engine harness conversion
Hello all. Pulled my engine wiring harness out because it had way too many crappy splices and in general was a POS. Bought a used one from a 85 with automatic. Mine is 4 plus 3 manual and has two more wires going to transmission area. I posted this earlier and I understand I can wire the over drive to a different source. Here is my question. Does anyone have experience converting this harness? I understand that I would have to add two wires. The color coding is different. I might have a line on the correct one but not too confident. any help would be greatly appreciated. I am also like most people on a budget. In other words if I have to spend 400 bucks I will put in a toggle switch.

I believe that the actual engine harness that plugs into the C100 bulkhead connector is the same on all '85 cars. It is an '85 only harness. There might be a tag very close to the C100 connector on both with maybe a portion of the part# or a letter tag wrapped around it. I would expect a tag of 9301.
Do you know where the C100 is and do you have a FSM?
The ECM harness changed for AT and MT cars NOT the actual engine harness.
