Default here is a LS1 retrofit schematic

the wiring is a piece of cake thanks to you guys! i tried to make this drawing as simple as posible. i have even broken it down into three catogories- complete, fuel/ign, and fans. just trying to give back some of the knowledge that some of you have shared with me. hope it may help someone.

now if i could just figure out where i'm going to mount the pcm and the relays. i'm thinking everything is going under the right side dash, just for the sake of keeping it out of sight.....hummmmm....any sugestions?

once again, thank you for your help!!

*EDIT-see post #5 for updated schematics.

Yes, the 99+ are different. If you are looking for 99+ info check my post in the sticky FAQ, it is just written out though. I can`t draw diagrams like that .

hey guys,

disregard that first set of schematics, there were a couple of errors. the 'oil pressure light' is really a 'low oil level light' and the 'hot' and 'switched hot' that connect to the relays have also been changed. (i had them reversed)
thanks to G-BODY for pointing this out to me, and helping me correct it.

Default wacky lines

by the way, i don't know why some of the lines are thicker than others, because i didn't draw it that way. it must have happened when i converted my CAD drawing to PDF, somehow.
hope this isn't a problem.

kosmo38,
I used my schematic to wire my car and i think it made things go a little easier seeing the big picture, so to speak. but, G-BODY has it posted in the faq section in a word document in written form, so there is really nothing stopping you. all i did was make what he wrote in picture form.
i'll try to do the 99+ tonight, depending on what my girlfriend has in store for me
just from glancing at what G-body wrote in the faq, it looks as if there is not that much of a difference. and since i still have the cad file of the 98 it shouldn't be hard at all to switch some things around.

Thanks great info. I asked this before and am still a little confused. Whats the best way to power up the factory part of the 62 corvette harness?
Headlights, taillights, fuse pannel etc. tx

I will do that for mine soon, when I start to connect all my wires. Maybe someone else will do it before me...

I believe you will need to keep your original body harness and fuse panel for the items you mentioned. Or, get you a new aftermarket one from Painless or another supplier. If you get a new one, get enough capacity (circuits and proper fuse sizes) to power all of your body circuits and the new PCM, fuel pump, fans, and any other accessories you will be adding. And get a few extras for future accessories you may want to add.

before someone was asking if this could be done for a 1999 harness. Well I had some free time so i figured i would write one up. If anyone sees anything wrong with it...just let me know so i can correct it ASAP.

J-

-edit-
I tried to include everything in the harness...A/C and all so for those who want it will have it as well.
