Went to the pick n pull today and found the wires that had been ripped off my truck. The electric choke and alternator->starter solenoid harness. Does anyone mind taking a picture of 1.where the electric choke hooks up to the main harness. 2. The hook up for the temperature gauge wire (coming off the sending unit). 3. the proper wires to the proper places on the solenoid?
Like I said they were hacked off at some point and I want to put it back in the right spots. As always thank you for the help and have a great day.
My electric choke is spliced into the alternator wiring, but clearly not in the original location; can't help there. Here's a pic I snapped of my solenoid before I unhooked it to pull the front clip, if that helps.
Anyone willing to take a good picture where the temperature sending unit plugs into the harness? Its the only wire im still missing.
What year/engine are we dealing with?
There should be an "engine gauge feed" wiring harness that has the wiring for the ignition, oil pressure sender, water temp, sender. It sits on the intake manifold, along top edge of the driver's side valve cover. The red w/ white trace wire is the one that goes to the temp sender.
Single red wire from the sending unit, on the front of the block, left of the water pump (as facing motor). Stays a single wire in front of the distributor then goes into the bundle that runs down the top of the dvrs side valve cover.
That bundle goes to the fire wall and then behind the power brake booster and then onto a 4 prong plug? I was in the dark, with a flash light and a head lamp, so sorry not the best pic.
The 1st pic loop looking thing is where is comes out the bundle and goes alone to the sending unit. I will trace better in the daylight and get another pic and a better pin plug count.
Pardon the filthy pig, it all stock down to the a/c and every vacuum line in the world, but it all works.

Actually mike and Rich. That answered my question. I have the 300, but i was thinking the wire had its own connection. But if is all hooked into the oil pressure and ign. coil wires, then it means mine is once again....hacked up...guess im goin pull a part diving again. Thanks as always.
Also Rich would you mind if i added the pictures to you "And then some page"? I think it was some pretty valuable info. for me anyways.
