Ok, cool. Its like mine then. If the plugs are different on the 84 harness, swap and splice the 88 alt plugs to the 84 harness, so you can use the newer alternator, and then continue the 84 wiring down under the engine to the starter relay.

Hey Jim or anyone who can help out... lol does anyone have a wiring diagram for a stand alone tbi efi set up... I've been looking at the wiring harness from the 84 K5 Blazer and other than the ccc plugs it looks pretty simple... still not quite sure how it will connect with the stand alone set up but working on a lot of reading and research... any help with a diagram is much appreciated

Harness is almost off... just have to fish it out from under the fuel lines and I believe one last ground to unbolt there at the back of the engine... thinking it might be easier to take those fuel lines lose and get those out of the way besides I still need to get the front half of the fuel line made and it might be easier to do with them off... lol
