Weather was nice last weekend, so I rolled the Nomad out of the garage for some sun and putzing around with it.

Looking good!!! Is your avatar the planned look you are going for? I assume the C4 conversion forced the F-body alt to be moved up?
Yes it is. That's not my Nomad...but the look I'm after.Quote:

Yes. The alternator won't fit in the low position due to interference with the C4 crossmember. So I swapped its location with the power steering pump via a custom made bracket.Quote:

Next up: ECM and wiring loom-thru-firewall. This has caused me to examine the ECM and existing wiring loom very closely to determine what is needed an what is not needed. And it appears the prior owner has removed all wires that were not needed. A huge source of info on ECM wiring for your modified cars can be found at http://lt1swap.com
The guy that put that site together has done a fantastic job of explaining alot. So much so that I have a fresh confidence in doing this ECM wiring job.
Watch for pics and wiring dilemas to come soon...
There are wiring diagrams on ls1 tech that make it very easy to wire a first gen ls1. I have the one for ls1 a4 but there is one for the t56 also in their sticky section under conversions and hybrids. I used it with a stand alone fuse and relay box from PCI and it was very easy to make it run. I also have pictures of the factory connectors that are shown on the wiring diagrams makes it very easy to trace the needing wires out. the one I have is located in this thread along with just about anything you need to know about swapping an ls1.
I can email you the connector picture if you want it.

wagoncrazy, I was unaware that your car had fresh paint on it. You've gotten to the fun part now!
rocky do you have a link or a source for that fuse/relay center? A quick google didn't turn up anything for PCI.
This is it see link

Put yer glasses back on Rick. ;)That ain't fresh paint by any means. That's how I bought it. It's good enough to spray over again with a minimal amount of prep work though...Quote:
