QUIZ FOR THE MUD-WISE 2F GURRUS

This is my second post with these questions. I’m hoping that more will chime in. THANKS to everyone who helped with the 11 connections. There are a couple of the connections where no advice was offered and one or two that need some clarification. The good news is that I had 11 connector questions, now I have just a few with a couple of clarifying questions.

History: Moving good engine from rusty truck to rust free truck. Took photos of most of what was moved when engine was pulled from rust and placed in rust free. When it got confusing, I was not as good about taking pix. As a result there are several connectors that I do not know where to place.

Photo 2: One end bolted to frame on passenger side close to where transmission located. About 12-14 inches in length.

Photo 4: Good advice about where this one goes from earlier post. Goes to sender on the manifold below and right of carb. My sensor for the carb cooling fan was originally at this location but it was removed after it went the way of a lot of these connections – got too hot and turned to toast. The ring connector that is on the wire now is too big for the nut on the connector below carb. This is curious to me because it was not modified after removing from the original rust truck. Could it go anywhere else? Did the PO have it in the wrong spot. It would be simple to change to a smaller ring that would work with the nut.

Photo 5: From earlier post, someone said #5 looks like a temp sender on the top of the head between carb and valve cover. If anyone has a photo of theirs I sure would appreciate your posting it so I can take a look.

Photo 6: The oil sending unit with the male connection that has the circular top plus the connection to the left that is a spade male spade connector?

Photo 8: Located close to the passenger side firewall and coming from the main harness on that side.

Photo 10: Located on the passenger side close to firewall.

THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP -- COULD NOT DO THIS WITHOUT MUD!!

 
#2
I think that goes to a starter bolt.
#4
Go to smaller ring, try it out to see if it works.
#6
Use the round top , the other spade connection fries the gauge! Dunno why mr.T designed that...
I have read elsewhere to flatten that spade flush to the side, so there would be no future confusion.

I believe #5 goes to the temp sender

My temp sensor (blue top, new from CC) and it's connector which was semi recently spliced and redone with/ a new male end. Wire on mine is green.

Oil sender and its male connector. As I pulled the dust cover off it my spiced wire I did recent broke. Grr. Darn old brittle wires. I fried my gauge tho so going to buy a new used one.

Could number 10 be one of two (mine has two) thin wires for the wiper motor?

Number 8 is def this one like mine. And mines not attached to anything so your helping me while I'm helping you. Its part of a loom that is below the windshield fluid res.

Number 4 appears to be a ground someone hooked up for the carb fan. It's coming out of the ICS loom/sheath/whatever that wrap is called.

Excuse my ignorance, I'm still a pretty dry sponge that jumped in to this thinking I'd figure it out along the way! Some may call me foolish, but I have every FSM under the sun, trying to be patient and having a GREAT time.
1. What is ICS?
2. When you mentioned carb fan that triggers a memory of when it was removed from ol' rusty. Carb fan has not been placed in the rustless wonder. Could that be it? Can you explain a bit more or post a pix?
3. Some have suggested this ground connection goes on the the tiny bolt under the manifold where the fusible link for the carb fan was located before it got hot and turned to toast. But the ring on the connector is too big for the nut. What do you think?
Thanks a bunch for helping with this!!

On number 2 are you saying it connects to one of the two starter mounting bolts? A pic would be helpful if you have one?
 
#2 is definetly the starter bolt ground. I'll take a pix tmrw.
And ICS is the idle control solenoid which hooks the electrical connection from the carb to the wiring harness.
The carb fan is located in the corner of the bay closet to the driver side firewall/fender. When the truck shuts off after running the fan should trigger on and run for a short time, 5-10 mins. It pulls air from the vent there on the driver fender area. And is meant to help prevent vapor lock in the carb and intake I believe. Some ground it's single wire directly to the carb body (which to me appears was done since it has a ring attached to it) because the temp sensor it comes attached to at the hard line pvc pipe that comes off the egr intake plate below the carb insulator plate, often gets cooked. My guess is the little nut does go on the temp sensor but the ring was attached by one of the upper carb bolts. So tho the wire and the nut essentially go together they haven't in a long time because the ring was spliced on by another PO.
Hopefully I just made sense. I can take pics of that for you too.
 
Yes, the wire to the bottom starter bolt is a ground and attaches to the frame near the axle. Just checked on mine, sorry no photo..
 
Tho I wrote wrong that the carb fan gets grounded to the carb body (that would be the ICS if someone thinks their emissions computer is faulty)... most typically to the fender. Sorry my oops way too early this AM.
 
Just a note on the carb fan, if you don't have one installed and don't plan on putting one in, you can just tape that ring up or cut the ring off and tape the wire. If you ground it, every time you turn the key on then off, it is going to kick the cooling fan control on and energize the power wire going to the cooling fan for 15 mins or so.
 
@NeverGiveUpYota where does the other end of #10 go? I found that wire just dangling attached to the wiper motor mounting, and my wipers won't turn off!
 
Into the fire wall.... sorry. I've got the kick panel and the glove box out but I can't see any further back. Someone else would have to help out here. GL.
