Wiring help

[danmas]

Hey folks,

I have a Holley terminator X along with the Ron Francis wiring harness. Keeping in mind that I’m brand new to this…

1. Does the main harness (with fuse box) connect into the Terminator x harness? It feels like it should but I really don’t know.

This is the area in the car that I know the least about..

Thanks in advance.

The short answer is no, the Terminator X harness does not "connect into" the RF harness. The Holley harness is primarily for the engine management and engine data but will probably require switched +bat, +bat, gauge info, fuel pump, etc. Much of this will come from the RF harness. The remaining portion of the RF harness is for all the other chassis requirements like lights, heater, wipers, etc.

I would suggest fully understanding what the Term X harness needs and then determine how to supply that from the RF harness i.e. battery and ignition power, etc. This will probably make more sense once you really look into the installation instructions for the Terminator X.

I am thinking there are others on this forum who have used this exact combination and can provide specifics rather than the generalities I make above. Good luck

Thanks for this. I’m reading up on this a bunch but it isn’t really sinking in. I appreciate that they don’t connect together, which kind of underlines how little I understand this bit. My current plan is to install the two harnesses independently and learn as I go.

Thanks!

Yes, the two harnesses DO connect to one another. If you have any questions, give me a call.

Thanks Frank! I will give you a shout tomorrow.

Both run independent, but power and some minor wires will connect to the RF just to power the Holley setup.
