damn I open this up for the first time in over a year and the last thing it shows is the wire that caught fire. The speeds sense and trans solenoid lock out wires had to go up/over the exhaust and I didn't take the time to properly secure them. The fell, that techflex that looks so nice caught fire and it ended up making a small enough fire to take out the holley ECU wiring but not bad enough to burn to the ground or take the house with it so I was lucky.
I started to get into it back in feb when it happened but I just lost interest when I realized how much I had to do to get it back working. After walking past it all year I miss it and decided to start chipping away at it to fix the problems and make it better than before. I took the time to move the offending wires so that they do not cross the exhaust this time, then I double wrapped them this time in fiberglass heat shield as well as aluminized fire shield for any wire anywhere near the exhaust
to ensure that they to not move I have been hard mounting them every 10-12 inches
I have a few more things outside the car to connect before I move inside which I really dread honestly. I am going to move the holley ecu as I was never really happy with where I put it and move it up to the pass airbag location. Then I just need to remember what wires were connected where inside, moved, ect.
If you ever get into wiring your own ecu, use the factory manuals and be sure to make very good notes on what wires you moved, where you connected, wire colors and where they went to. These notes were great to help me remember what I had changed...
