Bruce, I gotta agree with you on this one!  It took us about 3 months to get 
my '85 SS running once we started on the TPI swap!  Between making new fuel 
lines, separating what we needed in the harness from what we didn't need (I 
got the body and engine electrical from the donor IROC; still had the 
tailights hooked up <g>), and finally borrowing the '87 F-body Supplemental 
Wiring Diagram from the local Chevy dealer (this book REALLY saved our asses) 
to trace out C207 and find out what extra fuses we needed to run, it was a 
real trip!  However, we have everything hooked up and working right.  The 
ALDL and Check Engine light all function normally.  It sure would have been 
easier to do the swap if I knew about this list back in March <g>.  

     SSee ya,
