ORIGINAL: 73 T Top
Because I cant find any wire diagrams or info for the bulkhead of the factory harness (i have been spending most of my time looking for info) i am going to have to buy a Painless TBI Wire Harness for $375 so that i can get the car running in time.
Also I now have a camera but i need to get a memory card for it. As soon as i get it i will take pictures and post them.

I've done a couple of these convesions and the only way that I was able to make it work was to use the facotry service manual that iIhad already bought for the wrecked donor car (94 Roadmaster). I have about 20 years of aircraft electrical troubleshooting and schmatic reading.I was able to make it work. however it took a very long time and there was still some issues...

Are you having to replace the door latch assemblies. I put new ones in mine as they were giving me fits. I had swapped the doors off the Berlinetta into mine so I could get power windows and locks...
Keep us posted

I have installed the painless wire harness and it seems to work well. I can turn the engine over but I need to get a fuel pump relay that will fit the harness tomorrow. I also need to get a shorter serpentine belt since i removed the air pump. I already have the fuel pump and filter installed and hooked up, but i still need to run the fuel return line back to the tank (where would the best place be to get the gas back into the tank? should i drill a hole into the fill tube and somehow get a hose fitting to stay in it or is there a better place?).
rat454, did you take the whole doors off of the berlinetta and put them on your camaro? do they fit right on your 71' hinges or did you have to swap the berlinettas hinges on? It would be awsome if I could find one in the junkyard to swap doors with becauseboth of my doors arnt in toogood of shape and I already have an electric trunk hatch so having power locks and windows would be even cooler to add to it, besides being fuel injected [8D]. thanks for the tip
also im going to get a memory card for my camera tomorrow so I can post pics.
