Okay, basic question. My Jeep did not come with a check engine light so when I'm wiring in the TBI conversion do I need to wire in some sort of light?

Yes.
The computer will supply the "Ground" to the check engine light when there is an error. The other wire of the light is connected to the ignition switch ("On").

Working on the wiring harness and and I am unsure of which wires I need and which I don't. I have two multi-port plugs in the wiring bundle that connects to the wiring bundle inside the vehicle (1990 Chevy Pick up donor vehicle). DO I cut these out? I think I should but I'm unsure what they connected to inside the cab. I feel like a bomb tech do I cut the pink wire or do I cut the green/black wire. Only good thing, at least I won't blow myself up.

Figure out the ECM wiring first, here is a link to the 1227747 wiring schematics: http://www.gearhead-efi.com/Fuel-Inj...Information-42

When I removed the wiring harness it had a bulkhead connector, or at least I thought it was. In reality the wires go straight through and are covered by this plastic goop. I heated the goop and it melted allowing me to separate the wires. This makes it easier to work with them. BTW I was careful not to get it so hot that it melted the wire coating.
Yep, that's the fun part!Originally Posted by Texasdave

Because I cut the wires short to the ALDL I am going to have to add some wire to be able to mount it. What is the preferred method? Soldering and shrink wrap or unpinning from connector and crimping new wire?
