Who sells a carb engine harness??
I just got a 91 Firebird that was converted from a V6 auto to a 350 manual. I would like redo the wiring in the engine b/c I foresee some problems that will likely occur. Right now the engine is running fine with a chopped up V6 harness but I want to do it the right way. I did a search on here and on google but all I could find was wiring harnesses for Fuel Injection. I know to expect to pay quite a bit for a new one, but I have a feeling it is the new one is the only way to go.
TIA for any help/ suggestions

I can make you one *shrugs* besides that i dont really know off hand any aftermarket company that makes one. For a carb'd 350 though all ya really need are a few wires from the main connector next to the brake booster.

yea, I wasnt sure. I am new to wiring an engine. new as in never done it. 
How hard is it to wire it? I will throw a pic out there tommorow of how bad it is now. How much would you want if you made one.

if it's running good now, I'd be happy w/it. secure all loose ends, capping/taping them off, and maybe get some new conduit to keep it all nice & neet.
I haven't moved mine yet, but how much fun was it moving the motor mounts?

I didnt move the motor mounts, I got the car like this, which is why I want to redo it. There is one problem now, the starter isnt getting any power, No click nothing. I have to pop the clutch on it to start it. PITA I could fix that i think, but I know there will be more problems later on. I dont want to deal with them.

)I guess we can take it that everything has power since popping the clutch works. Check underdash for power from ignition switch
