  • Hope the focus is OK, it's an older camera. If anyone can chime in with the location of the idle stop solenoid, as well as the purpose of the melted mystery connector, I'd appreciate it. Please let me know if you want further details on any of the harness wire colors or details on any of the other harnesses.
    EDIT: I'm told the dark blue wire I was calling 'idle stop' really goes from the ESC to the knock sensor, so that's one mystery solved!

    I’ve been looking for a video explaining all the connectors since I have a bunch of them just hanging so huge thank you! Wondering though if I can just completely snip off most of these wires and connectors if I am exempt from emissions? If not which connectors should I keep? I should add I’m going with an edlebrock carb soon. TIA

    The idle stop solonoid is right near the throttle on the carb. Its job is to literally work with the throttle lever on the carb. Looks like it was removed tho.

    iDidnt see it, but is there a red power wire from the passenger side that connects to one of the red 12v wires from the driver side bulkhead? Is that for the blower mower?

    Do I need this harness or the computer if I swapped the motor to a 350 and have aftermarket HEI distributor and Holley carb? Can I remove the computer and harness completely? What would I need

    Just rip out the computer and harness. Go with regular HEI dis and Earlier Q-Jet carb with the electric choke. Everything that runs the motor is in the motor harness. The only thing you will need is a lockup kit for the torque converter. And that is no big deal. And while you are at it rip out that emission system. Cut off the pollution tubes and replace with pipe plugs.

    • @ratbuddy1
      @ratbuddy1  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The engine runs better with the computer, and there's much more performance to be wrung out of the poor 305 when you can tune it.

    • @suewatson1912
      @suewatson1912 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I guess it is if you are trying to keep it original or not. I get it. But....much less to go wrong without computer . And much cleaner look. Just my 2cents.
