A little background. I've had a 85GT for 8 or 9 years and it had a 3g alternator upgrade when I got it. I've converted it to Holley Commander 950. I am in the process of replacing the C950 with the HP ECU and want to redo all of my wiring I used to install it originally. I am also wanting to get rid of the TSAD and all the wiring associated with it and simplify the A/C wiring. I am thinking of doing a partial wire tuck. Hide some of the wiring, and add the underhood fuse/distribution box from a SN95. I'm trying to make heads and tails of the existing wiring. My biggest question is that I want to run a 4g wire with fuse from the alt to the solenoid. Or I should say, I was checking to see WHAT was run.
So there is a 4 or 6g wire from the alt to what looks like the existing wires. From the alt is a black w orange stripe wire. It's spliced to a smaller wire that's black and orange. There's a ton of factory splices and then there's one 14 gauge fusible link that runs to the solenoid. From what I am looking at it would seem that when the car is not running. that one wire is providing power to the entire car. There are lots of 10 gauge yellow wires and other wires with factory splices. Since I didn't see a 85 wiring before it was modified it makes me question what I see.
1st pic is the solenoid. You can see the green wire coming off. (The battery and battery cable are out right now.
2nd pic...what is this thing? I was thinking diode, but the A/C diode is over on the other side on the A/C harness.
3rd pic. The cable from the alt is spliced to the car wiring.
4th pic. The green fusible link is spliced to a red and yellow wire.
Here's a look at the mass of splices down here between the solenoid and alternator..right by the battery. A lot of them go into the harnesses headed towards the headlights.
