Default Harness Issues

I am doing an ls1 swap on a 67 chevelle using a 2002 LS1 engine, 6 speed harness, and computer. My question is how do I go about finding the wires I need to hook to the ignition. I assume the only other wires that won't directly plug in would be from the battery to the alternator. I have a pin out diagram but I am still a bit lost any help would be appreciated.

I just checked out his site and I assume you bought the stand-alone fuse/relay module. Looks pretty good but I would rather not spend $100 on it but I may have to if I can't find a factory fuse box.

trust me its worth the money it all comes labled has nice fuses/ has outputs to 2 fans and two the fuel pump makes wiring/tuning a breeze plus jarred is super good for customer service- just my 2 cents though the same could be achieved with a factory fuse box

Sounds like a pretty slick setup. When you say that it has the outputs for the fans you just plug in the harness then run a harness to the fans and set what temp you want them to come on in the computer and you are good to go? Also you said it makes tuning easier so it comes with the OBD2 diagnostic port too?

you have to buy the aldl port but it is easily wired in once you have it ... for the fans yes there are two wires coming out of jareds stand alone kit labled fan 1 and fan 2 you run them to the fans and thats it you go into the tune and set the on and off times and your rockin it also has a relay built in for the fuel pump so when you wire it that way it operates just like stock you turn on the key it cycles for 30 seconds then shuts off until you fire it

I did the same thing with a fuse and relay box from a mid 90`s v6 camaro. It had 8 relay spots and probably 12 fuses which are plenty of relays/fuses. It was dirt cheap along with the ALDL port and a bunch of other wiring at the junkyard.

I just spent 8 hours last weekend adapting a 2000 LS1 Camaro fuse block to work in my 1970 LS1 ElCamino - not an easy task. I used the fuse block with the fan relays on it and had to rewire the horn and fog light relays to work for the ignition switched circuits. Looks like factory, only cost $30, but next time I'll go the plug and play route.

Now, to answer your question: there were five pink or pink w/white stripe wires from the various engine harness connectors that need to be fused and made hot when the key is on. I took the original coil line and used to to energize my fog and horn relays, and in turn used the two relays to power two fuse rows on the fuse block I'm using. There may be another "switched hot" line going to the wipers, but I figured the coil line would work fine.

Wasn't there an ignition relay on the camaro fuse box. I'm not familiar with them. My 2005 Suburban box had the ignition relay. I used my fog light and horn relays for my fans. How big is the camaro box? Truck box is kind of big.
