Painless TBI harness
Looking at picking up a new Painless TBI harness from a guy around here for about $300. Is the install of these worth it? As most know, I'm doing the S10 swap with a 350 TBI / TH700r4 combo, but everything is custom and the harness is mostly for the computer stuff.
Does it have wiring for lights and all the amenities as well, or just the dashboard stuff, computer and engine bay? For those that have done it... what would you do different or to make things easier? Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Ted.

Re: Painless TBI harness
The painless harness is going to be just a stand alone engine harness, so just enough to get it running. It won't have any of your starter wires, alternator wires, gauge wires. Basically it's just the wires that go from the sensors to the ECM.
I've always built my own from a factory harness on all the swaps I've done. That way, I get the starter, alternator, etc. wires all wrapped up in one bundle.

Re: Painless TBI harness
Before you do that you should look up Larrys electric we are doing a 86 tpi out of a vette and ordered a harness from them that does not have any Smog or vats on it and it also came with the computer to run it all for just under 400 bucks.

Re: Painless TBI harness
I call this pain in the ass wiring harness. The engine starts and runs when I took this photo(it almost took off across the shop)
We Have a 350 TBI on an engine stand wired with a 95 Chevy truck harness, I talked a guy in to giving me the harness and ECM. It wasn't to much to make it run. Its fun to put a blown fuse in the panel and see how long it takes then to figure out why it wont start. |
