So I’m currently swapping a 5.3 ls into my 85 k20 using the terminator x
After I pulled the small block me and a buddy tidied up the engine bay wiring but I’m worried I messed something up or my buddy cut soenthing out he shouldn’t have
Motor is in and everything is fine but when we hooked the battery up fuse box didn’t have power so we figured out where it was tied and gave it power but now it seems the lower half of my fuse box is still lacking power is there anyone with just better electrical knowledge on these trucks that could just point me in the right direction please
