    Hi All,

    I'm stripping my front end for an RCM coil over conversion and engine swap. How do I remove the large firewall electrical connector? I'd like to get it out the way so it doesn't get damaged...

    The is a bolt in the center of the fuse block inside the car that holds the harness together.

    Thanks, I'll check that out. After removing the bolt, can I ASSume the the front section of harness (engine forward) will come off?

    Yup, it will split in half and you can take both halves out.

    And clean all of the contacts before you put it back together.
