I have been gone awhile but I'm back.
I recently picked up a new project boat and for the life of me I cant find a wiring diagram that matches mine.
The boat is a 1997 Monterey Montura with a 5.7. The original engine was cracked so I ordered a reman.
I found out that I have a bastard child of an engine. Its an 880 block with a 2 barrel holley and a non-Vortec top end, also it has a mechanical fuel pump.The engine I ended up buying for it is a Vortec along with a Holley four barrel and an electric fuel pump. All is installed and running well.
The problem I am having is the previous owner did a number on the wiring and none of the gauges are working. I have looked for diagrams but all the ones I find have electric fuel pumps installed and have a green wire coming from the alternator (I dont have) and doesn't show wires for electric choke. I just cannot find a match for what I have.
Attached is the tag I removed from the old engine.
Any help would be much appreciated.
