I am going to be attempting to clean up the wiring that is just hanging in the engine bay from the engine swap. One is the left over EGR stuff.

My truck is a Federal EGR Bleed 700R4 setup. It has 3 wires coming out of the trans connector. There is no EGR or EGR bleed solenoid left. The connector for the EGR and what I think is the EGR bleed solenoid connector are still there. Lockup does not occur unless the EGR bleed solenoid passes the signal through.

There is a two prong female connector similar to the pics below but with two prong receptacles, it is hanging down behind the driver side valve cover. Sorry at work so no actual pic yet.

Is this the EGR bleed solenoid connector? Mine has a jumper wire between the two female prongs. I am going to cut it out and solder the two wires together to clean it up. BTW the trans works flawless but the wiring irks me. I can't tell what color the wire is, road grime color!

That to me looks more like a spade connector to a sender or switch for a gauge or idiot light.

not the actual connector but similar. I have no idiot lights. All gauges.

It's also hanging there with a metal ring tab that has about 6 black wires running through the loom part.

It could still be a guage sender connector too. It could be either or. And hanging down behind the driver side valve cover, there is a spot for a sender right beside the dizzy at the back of the block. Does you're OEM Oil Pressure gauge work? There is also another oil pressure port just above the oil filter on the back driver side of the block. :shrug:

yes, works great. oil pressure connector is there. Maybe I need someone to take a pic of their EGR bleed solenoid (if anybody still has one) to compare.
