Pics of the '84 4KQ in CT

[Carl Dawn and Katie]

I know...I know...  So I got a little over zealous with the wiring.  Believe
it or not, it can all be explained.  The red wires all the way to the right
and left and the yellow wire in front of the battery are for the headlights
from the relays that are buried next to the coil.  The 2 red wires that come
from under the brake fluid reservoir are for the add on oil temp and
pressure gauges, the yellow wires coming from under the radiator are from
when the thermoswitch went once and I hot wired the fan to run from a swith
mounted under the dash - it is fixed now though, and the blue coil wire at
the top was for the Jacobs Omni Pack that currently resides under the
Heat-A/C cover that is currently unhooked.

So there!!!

though maybe my car had been seriously messed with. Frankly mine isn't as
bad as yours. Was somewhat messy wiring common an all 4k/CGTs in the mid
80s?
