Default 1996 Chevrolet Blazer 4.3L Rebuild Help..

Alright I am hoping I am posting this in the right place. Heres the details.

1996 Chevrolet Blazer lt 4.3L 4x4 2" Body Lift 124K


December 2008 - I dropped a valve and the truck was down. I parked it.

Febuary 2009 - June 2009 - I removed the motor and rebuilt it. Took time to have the funds.

July 2009 - I just re-installed the motor. Its bolted down, I have to assemble the entire front belt system, Install starter, I got to change a few sensors, hook up fuel lines, etc etc etc.



I have the entire wiring harness unplugged from the motor. Thinking about it now I should have marked all the plugs but I didn't like a dummy. I need some assistance with a diagram, or pictures or something. There is a assload of wires here and honestly I can't remember where they all go. This has taken me longer than I hoped to do so my memory isn't all that great plus I had a jackasses help removing it and now I can't get ahold of him and he helped me remove the harness.

I am not concerned with the plug in connectors (they only go in 1 spot although a diagram would be nice). I am more concerned with any ground straps that were bolted and any wires not containing a plug.

This jackass friend also helped me lose a few bolts so its gonna be a fun assembly. Anyways hopefully I can finish the beast get her running and lift her up some more for 33's. At the moment I need to get the motor in.


Cliff Notes -

I need a wiring diagram, some pictures of your 4.3L wiring connections and pictures of any bolted ground straps, etc. Anything with and without a plug!


Thanks so much and sorry for the extremely long post.

There are 3 ground straps that bolt on the back of each head and a battery ground to the block lower left (looking at engine)..Lay the harness around the valve covers and you will see it's easy, every plug-in is different and can only fit to its mate lol..Hope this helps

So I am looking at 3 straps per head and my ground on the block + all the wires that plug in?

yep that sounds about right and you have starter wires too that need to be hooked up..It's pretty straight forward once you get the engine in.
