Curious about something. I bought the knock sensor and it has a dried red/brown paste on it. Is this some kind of sealer?

Yes, that is sealer. If your knock sensor already came with this on it, then you don't need to apply any more sealant.

First of all, you have to open the back end of the connector, so the wires can slide out. Then, you insert a special tool (shaped like a hollow tube) over the end of the pin to release the tabs. If you can find some tubing (it'll need to be metal or hard plastic) in the right size, that may work too.

Here's what the special tool looks like: LINK (near the bottom of the page)



yea i know that. i undid it and they didnt come right out like i figured they would. if i can find a newer smaller connector with the right amount of pins and some new crimp on pins, i will just use that instead.

im checking my wires after the swap to make sure i got them done rite.

hey i think i found the problem pin BC12 had a brake in it where it was spliced into BC11 WOULD THIS HAVE CAUSED A NO RUN issue?
Be sure to check these factory splices eveyone.
(edit-- it wasent the problem but good to catch)

nevermind, big obvious screw up on my part. i need coffee. or sleep.

EDIT: ok, i had my sleep. then a dr pepper. im confused on the A/C pressure sensor terminals. what does this connector look like? it looks like it needs to be a 3 pin connector, but the only A/C ones i can identify are two single wire terminals and a 2 wire terminal.

well the ac isnt important at the moment since i need to figure out how to convert this wiring to the newer compressors. but here is a picture of the 7730 harnes conversion finished. this comes this nicely from taking your time.

Hey ive been reading this for a long time and i was wondering are there any ecm swaps that would be for OBD2 and that could run the 4T60E or similar electronic trany as well as DIS. It dosn't need to be OBD2 per say but i would like the tuneability of it.

ill let ryan step in for this subject of OBD II. you will understand the reason for the choice of the 7730 on my motor rather than a OBD II ECM that would work for this motor.
