Cleaning up a sawp

The fun part of buying a car is making it your own. Well my ocd has kicked in and I cannot stand when someone cuts wires instead of just back pinning them to remove them. The car is a 87 z28 that was originally a 305 TPI. It was switched to a 383 and a carb, I found the entire ECU harness had been cut on and only the TCC was being used off the ecu so I removed it all. Now the fun part of cleaning up the bay.

Wow what a mess. Glad your cleaning it up and taking pride in your ride. I like tpi but looks like the wiring was to gone to salvage. With the price of high flow intake setup and possibly a unknown cam your better off staying carb.

Looks like you've done a great job of cleaning it up. Nice clean engine compartment. Wish my 350 TPI wiring could be cleaned up that easily! Good luck!!

Yeah he cut most of the wires. I started back pinning the ecu plugs and found the tcc was the only thing being used. Well it wasnt gonna work without the tps being hooked up. Next I am trying to decide were to mount my msd box.

I kind of like the first pic as it puts the MSD box right by the coil and tucked up at the top. Keeps the ignition items all close together. Although, I don't know about his placement for the 2 other modules. There has to be a cleaner place for them.

Problem with the other place is my heater box. I really dont wanna put any holes in it.
