can't figure out connectors!

phaderus · 08-19-2008, 09:53 PM

I decided that I know nothing about automotives. To remedy the situation, I bought an 87, 2.8, extended cab, automatic, S10 without a motor. A year or so later, it has a motor that runs, and everything is connected but two connectors. Remember, I didn't disconnect them so I never saw what they were originally connected to. The first connector is right below were the tach cable goes through the firewall. It is white and black and also goes through the firewall; it is close to brake booster. I have no idea what is too.

The other cable confuse the hell out me, it comes out of the frame, so its hard to trace, on the right side. I have the smog pump connected and the air dyer connected, and the knock sensor. I have no idea what it goes to.
Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks!

it's dark out now so I can't, but if you haven't figured it out by tomorrow I'll go out and trace mine for you.

Thanks! That is one of the last things I need to figur out before I take it for a drive.

Tach cable? I assume you mean speedo cable. Cable driven tachs are old. Is that four wheel drive? Are the parts on the front axle that need to be plugged in? What colors are the wires?

It is a 4x4, the cables are white black, and the axle has all the plugs in it.

Does your ebrake work? The cable coming out of the frame might be that.
