>> John,
>> 
>> It's a 4 pin brown square plug on the driver side.
>> Dissconnect it, and remove the pins from the plug itself, give it a swift
>> yank. Without the plug the wirres are small enough to get through.
>> At least it worked on my '85.
>> 
>> If it fails, you will need to get the heater box loose and get behind it
>> to undo all the clips that hold it in if you want the keep the harness
>> complete.
>> 
>> This harness will not be needed if you are doing a factory 3B swap as 3B
>> harness plugs straight into the fuseboz (new style).
>> 
>> Hope this helps.
