well since you swapped in an engine from the 93, im SURE you reused your 1989 harness, riiiight?

If not, take it back apart and use your 89 harness. They swapped most of the plug styles, and even some engine parts in 92.

btw there are no adapters made by anyone for this, unless you custom make it.

Let this be a lesson to anyone else who reads this thread: ALWAYS always ALWAYS use your old wiring harness, and compare the engines side by side before intallation.

As it is now, you will have to ask for parts for a 93 if you ever need them, since things like timing belt tensioner and distributor are way different between the years.

I think that's the problem he's having isn't it?

He is using the '89 harness and the newer engine won't hook in to it is what it sounds like it to me.

I would go back to the truck the motor came out of and get the plug and splice them in to the '89 harness...
