Between this, the DSM, and the Celica, there is a very understanding woman behind these projects! Go give you Mom a big hug!

Default 73 El Camino LS swap

I know this is an old post but not sure if anybody still looks at it or reads it. I am in the process of putting a 5.3 LS in a 73 El Camino as well. Was wondering what they used for the wiring harness. I have the harness out of the Yucan but I know there is more to it than that.
