I have both an 85 NA 3.8 DIstributor ( and a 79/80 Turbo 3.8 (vacuum advanced) Distributor. available to me on my Hybrid build. Wiring (4 wires) out of the Turbo distributor was cut. I have the interior mounted TCC box from the 80 Monte Turbo donor and the wiring from the control box out to the distributor as well as the Knock sensor pigtail. I pulled this engine in 1992/3? & disassembled this engine circa 1994/5ish.
We've mounted it into my son's 88 Ford Ranger STX 4x4. This harness has more wiring than i remembered and more than the schematic shows in the Monte (Turbo) manual. The wiring harness has 5 wires to the distributor hookup (Green, Bluw w/black stripe, Black-ground in the center, Light Brown, Blue/white stripe) as well as a vacuum line, 10 wires into the TCC![IMG_8161.jpg IMG_8161.jpg](https://turbobuick-data.community.forum/attachments/357/357871-9c5bec931425d9a272388cc567a080f8.jpg?hash=qstZSfh5u-)
