View from the front side. These are the tabs that hold the wires in place. There is one tab for each wire. The tabs press up against the metal connector on the wire (see next pic). These tabs are very brittle.

Step 4 - Very carefully slide your pic...

This is a typical underhood/chassic Ford harness connector. It's made up wires, a rubber weather-tight piece, the plastic connector, and a red plastic keeper.

Tools needed - preferably a small pic, but a tiny flat-head screwdriver will work, also.

Starter solenoid, fuel filter/reservoir, and fuel pump being mocked up. The only thing that ended up being moved was the fuel pump. It now sits about 6 inches below where it is in the pic (where the batt used to go).

The wiring above the starter so...

This plug is hot in run. It supplies power to a supplemental fuse box, which powers the O2 sensors, e-fan, aftermarket gauges, and fuel pumps.

The tan colored wire (the left most wire in my hand) is actually the stock pink "resistor" wire...

The Lincoln Mark VII EEC wiring harness is not the same as the Mustang EEC harness. It is actually in two different harnesses, mixed in with a bunch of other stuff.

If you're gonna work with factory harnesses, do your self a favor and pick up one fr...

Here is the supplemental fuse box and fuel pump relay (the green thing). This is just a mock up.

The fuse box is powered directly by the battery, and gets switched on by the relay when the ignition is in the "run" position. (The white wire...

Mock up of more wiring. The EEC is pretty much in place. The dash harness was laid out. Wiring for aftermarked gauges, neutral safety switch (swapped from a C4 to a T5), and the VSS were being figured out here.

Aftermarket gauges (oil pressure and ...

EEC mocked up. I made a mounting plate and welded it to the cowl. My car doesn't have A/C, and this mounting point may not have worked if it did.

I think I can still use a factory style dash speaker. However, because of where the EEC is, I cant use...

I have a set of fresh air vents to r...
