Oh great Trickster, hear my prayer!

Or anyone else who happens to know the answer....

I'm at the end of a carbed 2.8 swap to a carbed, non-computer, non-emissions 305 swap, and I've searched the boards till my eyes can't stand to stare at the screen anymore. I screwed up, and didn't mark ANY of my engine wiring (didn't know about TGO when I started the swap, otherwise I'd have known better). From what I've gathered, the passenger's side wiring harness is all computer crap like sensors, etc. What I need to know, is this....what colors are all the wiring on the driver's side harness that I need to have? What's the ignition wiring like, and the turn signals, etc? I can't find a regular website that lists all that stuff specifically, only sites that sell Chilton's and Haynes. I want to get my baby back on the road after 2 years before the first snowfall. All I need is the basic wiring stuff, and I suck royally at trying to figure out wiring diagrams.

And so I lie myself prostrate at thy holy feet, Lord Trickster, that I may be thy humble servant, and receive that blessing which is Thy Word.

Thanks for the wiring diagrams, they were a LOT better than Haynes and Chiltons'. I had everything powered up and didn't catch anything on fire today, but I haven't actually tried to start the car yet (still need to put in pass. side header, etc.). And now I can start to clean up the mess that is my engine bay.
Thanks again

I sat in my baby with the stereo on for the first time in almost two years, and as corny as it sound....I wanted to cry. Two years sharing a 96 Grand Prix with a chick is a long time.
