Hey all:
I’m suffering from a possible case of cranial-rectal-insertion. Maybe you can help me out?
About a year ago I took apart a 99 Suburban with a 5.7 Vortec. Now I’m trying to get it back on the road and can’t seem to properly place the wiring harness brackets that appear to bolt to the bell housing studs and the intake studs. I have 2, and they are extremely similar but not actually the same. One appears to be bent... not sure if it should be. I know one goes on the passenger side and “wraps around” the coil mount. I’m not sure where the other goes, or even IF it goes? I’m sort of remembering that I might have ended up with another bracket attached to one of the 1/2 dozen heads I bought trying to get this engine operating again.
So...
1) Does anyone have a photo or diagram of the wiring harness layout on the engine?
2) Does anyone know if there IS supposed to be a bracket on the drivers side?
3) Should I just light this thing on fire and push it into the abyss?
4) Is anyone else thinking about a long term project and wondering how to recover from it right now? Don’t be me!
I even went to the junkyard today trying to get photos and can’t seem to see in the dirty mess that is the junkyard trucks what is up.
Save me from myself?
Thanks!
Nate
