Just got done with engine swap, what does this wire go to?
Sunday, August 10, 2008 10:12 PM
Just got done with an engine swap on my Z24 and wound up with one wire that didn't get labeled. My problem is I don't know what this wire hooks up to. I don't suppose anyone knows or would be so kind as to reference there Cav to see where it goes? Any help is appreciated!

its hard to tell with the tape over the end, but if i had to guess i would say there are two seperate flat round spades on a bunch of those wires? if so they are grounds... they go on the block ground stud they are right next to.

It's a little late here to take new pics with the tape off, but there are four wires that go into one connector. One of the wires is yellow, the rest are black.

Its probably really a tan wire, not yellow. Im betting on it being a ground connector also.

well......since there are no "loose" wires, it either has a ring terminal on the end which would indicate a ground, or it has a plug on it, in which case we need to see what the plug looks like to tell you what it is. calling it a "connector" does not help.

Thanks for the advice, guys

I hooked the terminal up to the block ground stud like suggested, and haven't had any problems.
