Hi Troy and welcome to FBN! Are you here in Washington State? I have a great factory book wiring diagram you can use but you're about 100 miles North of me. Have you tried the wiring diagrams in the Haynes Manual yet? There is a 'good' representation in the back of the book. You can pick one up for about 20-25 dollars at a Auto Zone or Schucks Auto Parts Store. However; if you looking for the real deal in a four page layout, then you are more than welcome to copy mine. Let me know. :f_bananarockm:

Thanks Larry! I have a great wiring diagram to use but I have no clue how to use a scanner. I was just going to let him borrow my book. :12EMOTICHEERS:

No problem Doc, you can save the pdf file to your hard drive, and have it handy to upload should someone else need it.http://www.firebirdnation.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/12EMOTICHEERS.gif
