Does anyone have a schematic or write up of simplifying a stock 2.9 harness? Not finding much information in the forums, any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

My credo
it is easier to fix and understand than "her"
just power it up through the red/green stripe on the noise filter for on/off. make sure all of the grounds are hooked up and keep the fuel power intact.

Thanks for the reply Bobby, I should have said in my post it’s an 86. Red with green tracer powers what exactly? The engine bay is a complete rat’s nest between a previous owner splicing and rodents. Trying to eliminate any unnecessary wiring, headlights, horn ect. just what is needed to run the engine.
