Almost time to start it up! Just need to finish wiring and get some small fuel lines! I learned the hard way to put the engine wire harness on BEFORE you put the motor back in, its a pain now!

Yeah finding out where all the wiring goes is the worst, i can not figure out where the big module on the drivers side that has all of the wires mounts, the one that screws together. I have a few more pictures that i will be posting up shortly as well.

The Module you are talking about...(ECM I'm sure) goes under the cowl, on top of the inner fender on the right side. It slides in there. If you removed the bracket, that needs to go in first.

Are you talking about the relay or the harness connector? The relay looks like it just snaps into the panel without bolts. The connector is greek to me as this appears to be a through panel connector...but it's hard for me to tell.
I am one of those guys who NEVER sorts and labels bolts. I figure if I can't figure out what goes where, then I have no business working on vehicles. The most I'll do is put them in separate piles...suspension bolts in one pile, interior in another, etc. But to get a bunch of baggies and sort and label them? I've never done that. And it's come back to bite me a couple of times, so I feel your pain.
