Well I got a lot of aftermarket wiring and some gauges that were added onto it over the years. It had a trunk-mounted battery and fuel line with dual Holley blue fuel pumps plumbed up with AN fittings and what looks like 7/16" aluminum fuel line going to a fuel cell in the trunk. I ended up removing all traces of the aftermarket fuel system with wiring and relays and cleaned up more loose ends under the hood. I got rid of a piece of wire strapping someone used as a coil bracket and pulled the wiring out of the holes in the firewall from the remains of an under-dash mounted MSD box. Now that I got everything not original gutted out i'll be able to figure out what is missing. So far I noticed a burnt off fusable link on the passenger side by the headlight wiring, I re-hooked up the factory positive junction block on the radiator support and I found the blue and white leads for the alternator have been cut off about 4" out of the harness wrap. The coil + wire has been cut, the ring terminal is missing off the tach wire, and I found the oil pressure wire under the booster and the coolant temp wire was tucked up into the drivers side fender. I moved the coolant recovery tank back to the stock mounting location for now until I get a new replacement. The original one was used as an isolation block for the + cable coming from the trunk to the battery. I can only imagine what would have happened if the cable terminals got hot and it melted out the stud and hit the frame or engine. Thats all for now, we had a good time playing with the 2011 Camaro this weekend to get anything else done. I'll try to have pics to follow up later on this week when I get a new camera.
