Russ.. trans is fubar

Slick.. The harness from a newer can be made to work, but he'd need to repin it. Which.. it doesn't appear he's ready to do. Which means.. like you said. "tim...get a 97 harness)

Hell.. I swapped my 97 Bonneville over to a 99 harness and pcm. Then to pass emissions since my vin had to match and I didn't have DHP to change it.. I made a converter from the top of a 99 pcm to the wiring connectors of a 97 and then stuffed a 97 pcm in it for the whole two miles

Do you not know how to read? It's been stated Idk how many times in every thread that you have made, the 97 harness will only plug into the 97 pcm.

Slick.. didn't you see who posted that question for the 50th time?

Tim... I might ban you for a week, for stupidity and not reading. If you don't understand something, you need to say so, versus posting the same question again and again.

Got to work something out with the seller. He came down to what I wanted to pay , including shipping to my home address via ups frieght. very straight up guy. Nice to work with

So, i got a little confused with the vac routing. Mainly because I was referencing this


I was confused because the write up said to connect the top of the BBV to the "tree" an the bottom should see atmosphere, but didn't mention anything about the SC bypass solenoid. Because of this I didn't know if i was suppose to run a line from the lower BBV nipple to the solenoid and have one of the nipples on the solenoid seeing atmosphere or if i should delete the solenoid and just have the bottom nipple on the BBV see atmosphere. After asking Snowth1ef I learned the the SC bypass solenoid should be deleted and that it is in fact the lower nipple on the BBV that must see atmosphere.

In order to possibly help others I modified the above diagram so that it showed the correct vac routing for a topswaped 3800
