For those of you using the Painless Wiring TBI kit, be aware that I have found three typos with it. Two are in the instructions and one was on the harness label itself. I had to make a couple of phone calls to Painless to verify, but yeah. There are typos in the kit. It is not detrimental but it is enough to confuse you. Two are with how you wire the NSS (two different methods both refer to the same diagram) and one is with the AC power wire (it is called "C/A Power" on the harness).
I got more clean up done and found more of Bubba's work. Melted wires and connectors, bare wires, etc... I'm pretty sure that the purple wire here is the "crank" wire for the starter solenoid.

Three butt splices in 12 inches.... Why, just why?

In the driver's kick panel I found the remains of a security system. Three relays were taped together and spliced into the driver's door circuit. Those got removed and I had a chance to use my new crimp tool and marine butt splices. It is still far from perfect, but it is much better than the rat's nest that it was before.

So I'm not going to get it running temporarily off of the new TBI harness. The knock sensor is MIA and so is the oil pressure sensor and oil pressure switch. That explains why the oil pressure gauge doesn't work. I'm just going to pull the engine and deal with it all at once.
