Yep relay un hooked and wires jumpered up. So you have a vent/breether on both valve covers? I did notice on the short run times i had no oil pressure. I do spefically remember on my Oil pressure sending unit it only had one pin coming out of it. and i thiknk my connector had two or three wires. The sensor is the original from the 5.3 truck, do i need to get one for an F body?

Splice that Yellow and Purple directly together..that is what I did. I had a T56 in my car so I made a different Neutral/Safety Switch.

What Connector do you have going into it? I use the F-body ones.

The one closest to the Fire Wall is Front Brakes if I remember correctly.

I know you jumped it..that Relay is part of the N/S Switch Wiring..from the diagrams that I have seen.

After getting all the vac leakes fixed i am faced with a rough idle and a car that likes to die on me. Fuel is fresh so thats not a problem any more. I have a code for MAF dont remember the P number but it was MAf signal low or short. I read someone elses swap that they didnt run the power wire from the maf to the fuse block and that was his problem. Does anybodyt know what the pinouts on the MAF are supose to be for voltages. 12v, ground. and a 5v referance. does this sound right to anybody?

So pulled the codes again and now i have some codes... Car is acting a lil weird while cranking now. It actl like the battery is weak and cranks slow not sure it its battery grounds or what. I have a ground going from battery to frame and from frame to engine. Thinking about putting one from battery to engine as well. And here is the codes >>>

P0102 Maf circuit signal low---I have ground to connector but no 12v so i ran a jumper to battery and i could hear something clicking inside the car when i powered it up.
P0352 Ignition coil B primary curcuit problem
P0481 Fan control relay 2 or/and3 circuit Fans not hooked up yet
P0645 AC compressor clutch relay control circuit NO ac
P0803 Upshift/skipshift solenoit control circuit- Was supose to of been tuned out

Gonna do some more research just googling these codes but anybody who has some suggestions please feel free to chime in and help me out...

Ok fixed the MAF code but its not right. Ran a jumper wire to have the 12 ignition source and it still made the clicking noise. Didnt have the 5v referance so i grounded the 5v ref from the IAT and the maf codes went away and its working not sure why this fixed it but it did. Any body know what would casue this?
P0352 is still here tried swapping B coil out with the A coil and nothing changed. I have the power and ground, what do i need to use to look at the low referance and the ignition control signal?
