Default 3.1 harness help/ refresher

Could some one with a 3.1 take a look at the routing of the harness that goes from the left side acrros the front to the right side.

Its been too long since I took this apart and I can not remember how the harness that goes to the starter, alternator, air pump, fuel injectors, yada , yada runs across the front of the motor. It has to go down bellow and behind the exhaust manifold for the starter wires but from there I can not for the life of me remember where the rest runs. about mid way from the starter wires it goes to the injector and then has to run all the way past the drivers exhaust to the oil pressure switch.

And I also have 8 bolts and two stud bolts for the top of the plenum. Which holes take the stud bolts cuz I don't remember what goes on them.

I think I may have it figured. I took some pics but I have a crappy camera so they are blury. I'll climb in and see if I can get it.
With the V6 I can stand in the engine compartment between the motor and the sway bar! (no rad or fan in yet)

I'll give this a shot Mike. Mine is an 88 with the wimpier 2.8 but I'm guessing the wiring is about the same as your 3.1 beast. The upper plenum studs goes on the first two holes on the drivers side. This is for the rear support bracket for the alt. My wiring runs from the starter then branches up behind the serp. belt tensioner and up behind the alt. The other branch crosses in front of the oil pan behind the damper pulley. A clamp holds it from being eaten by the damper. It then crawls up and over the drivers side motor mount and clips to the o/p s/w. Another wire from that same loom goes up behind the a/c compressor. HTH from one older fella to another.

Thanks Sewerrat

I figured out the wiring earlier this evening. And it all came together when I figured the odd U shaped braket goes onto the from of the pan. Its exactly as you placed it.
The studs I did not figure out. Maybe because there is no Alt braket of that style on this 3.1 and its on the opposite side. The studs may have still been used and in the same spot so I will put them there.

Thanks again old dude
