68 camaro wiring questions im about to put a LS1 engine into my 68 camaro but nobody around here wants to take on the job of wiring it up. i have somebody that will put it in but he knows about as much about wiring as i do, which isnt much. anyway if anyone knows a way of simplifying everything or knows of somebody around the center florida area that could do this for me that would be great. even somekind of diagram would be good. thanks

Street & Performance makes a 'painless wiring harness' for GM conversions. Give them a call and ask for Mark. He's very helpful. Ask them for a catalog too. You'll love it.

its a 98 Ls1. it was carefully took out a camaro. it has everything that makes it work with it. its just a maker of making it work. im not sure what VATs are?

thats for the help. i clicked on the page listed above and went to the 69 camaro they put the ls1 in and the wiring harness only had basicly four wire hook ups. Harness also includes relays, Vats by pass, and diagnostic link. so all those wires that were scarying me with the stock wiring harness arent needed. everything will work correctly with the aftermarket kit?

Yes, and there are MANY aftermarket harnesses available. Mine is from TPIS who is supplied by by howell engines, I dont reccommend it. Speartech is where I would go (links on this page) John is just about the most helpful guy anywhere. Also Street and Performance and painless if you want more options.
VATS stands for vehicle anti theft system, its must be bypassed or removed in order to start the car.

how does the pcm tuning work?
