Where would the best place on-line, to find a printable under hood wiring diagram for an 86 D-250 with the ESC system (Which I'm doing away with)? Trying to do this as cheaply & as quickly possible. I'm working on it outside. TIA
 
Thanks for the info, but that will be my last resort. I'm trying to download a wiring diagram from different web sites & not having any luck. They either don't match my bulkhead connector wiring (Under hood is all I need) or they're wrong all together. I know 86-87 are odd ball years with some having the ESC & some not. I do have the under-hood connector, but the wires are cut off at about 6-8" or so. I don't want to spend the $70 bucks to get the shop manual just for that though.

Try checking AllData or Mitchell1 online, some libraries have free access to those databases and they usually have the factory diagrams for those oddball 86-87 years.

Check out BISHKO on eBay and buy one of their CDs. It's the factory service manual in CD form vs book form. And you'll notice that all the way to 1988 (only 360 trucks that year) the wiring diagram will show both "lean burn" and regular 4 pin ECU version. You will need a distributor with a vacuum advance and a carb with a vac advance vacuum port ("ported vacuum") for the regular Mopar electronic ignition to work right
 
Thanks Don. I have the vacuum adv. distributor, old style carb & ECU set-up & installed & set up temporarily just to get it running, (Runs great by the way) Just wondering where the wires, or what's left of them, from the bulkhead connector go. I might as well finish the wiring job as no one seems to be interested in it the way it is. Too bad, it's a very clean, rot free truck & a factory 4-speed too.
