    I don't understand the question. That is the harness that runs to the crank and cam sensors, ICM and then plugs into the main harness.

    As for regasketing the whole motor. If you are about to cam, then it makes no sense...you'd end up replacing most of the gaskets twice. And..being a Park Ave (this is gonna hurt the gp guys) you don't have any dumb brackets in the way of removing your oil pan.

    Procedure to do oil pan gasket:
    Drain oil
    Unhook oil level sensor in oil pan
    Remove oil level sensor from oil pan
    Remove 20 3/8" bolts holding oil pan on
    Remove two bolts holding oil pick up tube on
    Remove gasket
    Clean surfaces
    Reinstall oil pick up tube with gasket at the same time as the oil pan gasket
    Reinstall oil pan
    Reinstall level sensor and connector

    On a crank learn. You don't "have" to get one. Your car should start and work just fine. The crank learn optimizes the pcm's knowlsdge of the cranks location and knowing TDC

    When you put the rear header in from underneath without lowering the subframe, pulling the motor forward etc etc... laugh at all our w body buddies. It's so easy to do headers on your car.

    Question for you... let's see if you've been reading up and researching. What gaskets are you going to use for the head to header connection?

    Ok...so you know you aren't going to use them...right? You are going to take your factory gaskets off, wipe them down and reuse those beautiful and wonderful mls factory babies.

    Well...nothing really. But the factory gasket that is already on there, is going to seal w/o any issue and if you ever take the front off (say to swap a motor) it's much cleaner and easier to work with. FelPro one leaves crap on both surfaces
