    Default Forgotten how much I dislike wiring

    Trying to wrap up the 3.8 - 5.0 swap in our 86 and trying to figure out how to hook everything up is giving me a major headache.

    If there are any gurus in SE Mich that like to work for beer let me know.

    I used to hate wiring too until I had to do it every day. Having the proper tools and materials and good wiring diagrams really takes a lot of the headache out of it. It’s just really time consuming to run each circuit and test it and run the wires correctly.
    it can be overwhelming, but I have found if you slice it up into pieces, it is much more manageable than looking at it in its entirety.
    good luck with your project

    Overwhelming is a good way to put it.

    Thanks

    I must be an oddball then cause I actually don't mind doing wiring work. I'd offer to help, but am a little too far away.

    I appreciate the thought.

    I just need time to devote to it. That’s something I don’t have a lot of anymore.

    Well, buckled down and did some work.

    There is still a lot to do, but we made progress.
