While I know I can purchase completed wiring harnesses or purchase a kit, I prefer to make my own. It's just the way I am. I want to say I did it myself.
So my question is this;
On the main wiring harness under the dash there are two places that the harness exits through the firewall. One has wires to the engine and the other for lights, horn, etc. (not the taillight harness connection). These harnesses have a hard plastic holder ? that keeps them in place. How do you remove these connectors from the firewall without destroying them. I'm good at that part. | | |

One is located above the fuse box the other in the upper portion of the transmission hump near the top of the firewall. I did go and look for the bolts ZooKeeper and did get the bigger of the two (located over the fuse box) to spin/twist and come apart. Maybe the other will do the same, it is just hardened with age? | | |

I have looked online and see ones at American Autowire (page 38 of their online catalog). Are these the ones you refer to? Or is there another source you use?
By the way, I see in your signature that you have a 64 Suburban with a 350/700R4. Mine is a C10 fleetside short bed with the same combo. I use a 3.08 rear out of a 71. Get about 2000 rpm at 65 and love it. That's another thread. Talk with you later.
Again thanks to everyone here. | | |

A firewall grommet set is available. My burb has a 3.73, I really haven't driven it much(still doing bodywork) but I had the combo in my fleetside using a 3.42 rear-love that overdrive! Its a completely different truck compared to the TH400 that was in it. Brian | | |
