Message: [QUOTE="13fist, post: 1533196, member: 31010"] Got a fortunate break in the weather. I managed to get 99.9% done. All that's left is the last of the covering. Looks like I'll have to spend on the good stuff, probably Painless loom. I've used it in the past with great results. The 42 pin connector. It's super easy to work with. [ATTACH=full]177576[/ATTACH] Use a little screw driver to lift out the red retainers. Make sure to re-install them when done. They prevent the terminals from backing out. [ATTACH=full]177577[/ATTACH] Once the retainer is out. Carefully pry the tab away from the connection of choice. It will easily slide out the back. This was a hard pic to take. [ATTACH=full]177578[/ATTACH] Here's the terminal shot. Ford Wedgelock Terminals E7EB-14487-AA for the engine side of the 42 pin, E7EB-14461-BA for the chassis side. If you have damage to your wires and need to replace a whole run from the connector. These are a crimp-on affair. Code eliminators, shortened and tucked away. [ATTACH=full]177579[/ATTACH] These are the 1watt 470 Ohm resistors for the something or nuther I removed years ago. I think it was the EBPV and the waste gate controller... I think. [ATTACH=full]177580[/ATTACH] Used some of the heatshrink to seal them. This will keep corrosion out and make for a proper headache should I need to replace them. Front of engine stuff, [ATTACH=full]177581[/ATTACH] CPS,EBP, coolant temp, oil pressure all consolidated into their own bundle and branched out from the 42 pin along the driver-side and across the front as seen here. Still working on a good shot of the valley. Not a photographer. [ATTACH=full]177582[/ATTACH] It's still a mess with the bulk of the glow plug and injector wires unwrapped. [ATTACH=full]177583[/ATTACH] This is where I'm liking it. Forward up and over where the bowl used to be. The connections to the valve cover gaskets lay down nicely going forward, and out of the way. I didn't get any pics of the valve cover connector replacement. It was about as straight forward as it gets though. I kept busy with one wire at a time so as not to mix up firing order. Now for some part numbers: Use your reliable source of choice to ensure you don't get buggy import parts. These aint cheap, but this is not the place to skimp. Still costs a lot less than a fire under the hood, or a roasted PCM or IDM.
