Gonna attempt to mount my OHC this weekend?

Alright, so I'm going to ATTEMPT to get my OHC in this weekend and working. Clinton, don't be surprised if I text you a thousand times with my "retard needs help" messages lol Any tips as to what I should NOT do? lol And any tips and advice otherwise? I might just mount it and leave the wiring for another day, but that's useless.

if you figure
it out come over and help me once i get mine lol

 

Or you come here I have school lol

 

ah you wish lol jk bro, will have to see dont know what schedule looks like, well new medicine to take, this should be fun, supposed to knock me out. lol

 

Good luck bro. I'm out for tonight. Talk to you in the AM

 

When doing the cutting cut small and when running the wires bring the pigtail inside and group wires accordingly and label. And only run one wire at a time(if using speaker wire) you can run both. And label as you hook them up and it should be easy as hell to do. That's what I did to hook mine up.

 

Okay, I think I know what you're saying there.... I'm gonna go home Wednesday and paint the OHC so that it's ready to go in when I get home Saturday.

 

Yeah. What i'm talking about with the wires on the pigtail is like the wires that got to the dome light put them together and label sensor wires together and label gem wire label power wires together and label. Try to keep it as organized as you can while doing the wiring and you shouldn't have any problems.

 

Alright. What's the pigtail you're referring to?

 

Pigtail=oe harness plug.

 

Start cutting the headliner a lot smaller than you think it needs to be & enlarge it a little at a time making sure the ohc covers everything.

Measure never, cut 50 times

 

run the wires first. that way if you fail, you dont have a large hole in your headliner or a useless OHC. It's not that hard tho.

 

Its not too bad Pete. Just make sure you leave yourself PLENTY of extra wire.. one of my wires is like a half inch short of being too short, like I have to disconnect the oe plug to even be able to see the back of my ohc..
But yeah do what Marty said for the wiring..
On oe pigtail label one wire(e.g. power wire) then connect about 8 feet piece of wire and label the end power, then repeat for the rest of the wires(excluding the ground unless your ground wires uber short and you need some extra length). Then once you have all of them labeled bundle the groups that go together.. like the 3 that go behind your hu, the two to your dome, and the two to the temp sensor It will make connecting the appropriate wires much easier..

 

Okay, sweet. What would y'all suggest as for connections? Just splice em together and wrap em in electrical tape?

 

use them T taps everyone goes nuts over

 

t taps?

 

some sort of fancy connector..ill try to find em.

 

BAM


Walmarts got em in the automotive section near the Sony Xplods. lol

 

yeah those things lol

 

I'll check it out.
