Wiring Harness, do I need these?

[DNA DOA]

# 22 and # 23 lost the fight with my welder. They are burned. As I see it I have two options. Replace harness or figure out if I need these two connectors.

One of them is the Thermactor Air Bypass Solenoid and the other the Thermactor Air Diverter Solenoid. What do these do? Do I even need these?

My 88 Notch is a street strip car, no smog, a/c, p/s, no cats, turbo, t-5.

Thanks,
Ben SEMPER FI

those are for smog control. if you have no emissions laws just cut the wires and tape them back up and hide em somewhere. just my .02

Yeah, since you have no smog stuff they are not needed

Clip them, I have a 66 with a 5.0 and the EFI and I ditched the thermactor stuff during the conversion and no problems.. It'll throw a code but won't affect the performance (that I know of).

those plug into the back of the exhust on the turbo side,so you will need them for your turbo peace

They do not! Your such a lier. Thanks everyone for your great advice except John. You go build your 351 and leave this turbo guy alone.

If you don't want the codes to show up, cut the wires and solder a 75Ω 3-Watt resistor to each pair of the solenoid wires.

Thanks I will look into that as well.
