First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... Hello All!
Please help! American Auto Wire insists that the wire looms/harnesses I bought from them are correct. I don¹t believe they are. For instance, on a 400 Firebird w/o ac, should the wires for the water temp gauge and the cut-off be routed along the upper part of the wheel well under the fender and be in the same harness as the generator wires or should they come from the fire wall and be placed in the Delcotron retainer along the inside of the driver side valve cover? Also, when using the yellow and the pink/black wires provided by American Auto Wire in their engine loom/harness, and shown as correct in the literature, I get less than 5 volts on the positive side of the coil when I turn the key to start (it goes without saying the car will not start). The car starts and runs quite well when I run a wire directly from the ignition switch to the coil, at which time I have 12.7 volts at the coil, but I hear the horn relay click in briefly when I turn the off key and the engine diesels/runs backwards (the latter detected by Don Johnson when he did my carb last week). Any ideas, anyone? Thanks!
