New Guy, Fly. Thanx in advance for reading, ++thanx for advice.
I have become the proud owner of a 98 2dr 4x4 Blazer. Parts truck. It has been stripped some before I got it, dash removed , all cab wiring, steering column gone. The engine is free, oil looks clean. I was told about 90 K on unit. I am removing transfer case and transmission, but I need to start the engine before I go much further. I have cab wiring and steering column from a donor vehicle 01 S-10, also v6, auto. So I can hook up the wiring from the column. It has a key.
What else do I need to do? I can connect a water hose to the engine for cooling. I have the oil filter unit connected. In the center of the dash down low was a blue electrical box. What is that thing, and do I need that to start the motor?.
I really am wary of the electronic trans and transfer case, so I am taking them out before I start the engine. I intend on installing a T-5 trans in time, and I also want to eliminate the ignition and intake system for a HEI distributor and old timy carb system, such as used in marine applications, if it runs properly. All advice welcome. Thank you, Fly.
