Is the tach signal ICM white wire paralleled to the PCM C1-54 and C500-C3?

Just out of curiosity, is that second cable north of the shift cable the throttle cable?

Yes it is the throttle cable. And the line to the south is the Brake Booster line.

The wiring is 99% done. Just need to ring out a few lines. I put the data link connector in the stock location.That was a booger taking the firewall feed through apart so I could run the harness through it.

Now I need to hook up cooling, heater core, fuel lines, assemble the axles, install an auto radiator with tranny cooling lines, and make an exhaust. The body work wont be done for the show but at least it will be running. I'm thinking about taking it with all the body panels off.

I got the new battery tray welded in this morning.

NO
Only the white wire on pin E of the ICM connector gets connected to C500-C3. The PCM pin on C1-54 doesn't get connected to anything.[This message has been edited by phonedawgz (edited 08-28-2011).]

Is the old C500 alternator cable supposed to be hooked up? the alternator is now hooked up from the starter. Does that junction block need more juice than what the battery cable fusible link can supply?

I did parallel the tach signal to PCM and C500 from the ICM. we're typing at the same time. I will disconnect the ICM tach feed to the PCM. thanks[This message has been edited by hercimer01 (edited 08-28-2011).]

It's best to have the cable from the alternator run to the power distribution block. You should use the fusible link end at the power distribution block. Cut shorter the alternator end and put a ring connector on it.
The starter connection is in a less wire friendly place. Using that bolt down there to make electrical connections can lead to problems down the road.
The alternator cable from your 3800 is larger because the 3800 alternators can put out quite a bit more amperage. The fusible link belongs at the 'battery' end of the cable. Electrically using the starter bolt is about the same. GM did that in '84, but quit in '85. Many 84 owners have had problems with that connection and/or fusible links coming loose after baking and vibrating next to the engine and causing them problems.[This message has been edited by phonedawgz (edited 08-28-2011).]
