Thanks. That is mighty clean engine bay! I want mine to be like that eventually.
Couple questions. Which side of the coil in the 3rd picture is positive? I see the Temp wire and the female spade connector come from that branch of the harness. What is the red wire? and is that other wire that comes from the left and hooks to a different red wire from the starter? I can't read the tag on it. If so what is that wire it hooks to?
Thanks man haven't been to Lewiston since 99 or 00. Almost bought a house on the Snake. Wish I did now. I had come up from Ca to be with my mom in Kennewick while she went through cancer surgery and the hall in Spokane gave me a job on a shutdown.

Thanks! I was going for a very clean minimalist engine bay. Luckily, most of the emissions stuff was already removed when I got it, and since it was a basket case, I just put back only want I wanted/needed to.

That red wire is the exciter wire that I ran for the fuel pump relay. It is plugged into a wire that ran up from the harness for the A/C system that was removed previously. It is a switched "+" wire so I used it for the relay exciter and also the electric choke on my Weber. It is a larger spade connector with a rubber boot so I was able to put a bullet connector on each of the wires and plug them both into it, and it stayed all sealed up.

There are a lot of folks that come to town for the shutdown. My brother worked for the rental equipment company in those years, they would set up shop on site and staff the rental office there 24/7. I have a lot of friends that work out there year round. I work for a small manufacturing company that does a good amount of work for them making parts for the machines. We really do have a great offering here in terms of recreation and outdoors. Pretty mild climate as well.

Stay well!
