For those with 88 FSM, the cavity # assignment for the SMEC 14 way connector is incorrect for both G and J bodies. The correct assignment is in the 88 Powertrain diagnostics and minimopar website in addition to the non-G/J cars in the FSM,

Is it backwards?
I have thought I've seen backwards pin out diagrams in my 88 books ..too
thought maybe they listed the pin outs from the opposite side view of the connectors (?)
Yes I believe that was the intent but the cavities are numbered incorrectly. Serves them right. LOLQuote:

Yes but the diagram was rounded on wrong end.Quote:

The P body is correct BTW
according to the 84 books the turbo motor has spark plugs on the fuel rail..cough
yeah I think I noticed the diagrams the night I sleeved the wiring leading to the big smec connector .. with the red sleeve found on the slave CD player wiring which makes a nice little detail to call out the PM to smec swaps..
bought the 86 and 88 book sets from the distributor's warehouse by the science center
$45 each
.. wish they were still there I'd have been selling FSM's on site for years
calling jeff1234, calling jeff1234.... could this be your problem with your LM to SMEC adapter?

Thanks Brian, I will check this out.
Brian, chromeguy, The 14 pin male plug with female pin sockets can only install one way. Mine is configured like this.. If you look down on the socket and look at the rounded end, first position, top row, I called that position, pin14. It has a green wire. If that wire is correct, then all of my wiring is likely to be correct.If you disagree with that position designation, please let me know so I can correct my wiring.
those barrel shaped terminals have little tangs inside them that make the contact with the pin .. you'll note the barrel diameter is larger than the pin's..
repeated connecting / disconnecting or reaming out the barrels thinking the contact point will be cleaner can cause issues
Top row left side is #14 Alternator field driver and is 18 DG.Quote:

I referred back to 88-89 turbo 1 smec by Russ Knise. It shows pun 14 to be the way I had it wired. Apparently this is what this posting is referring to. Is thex14 way connector drawing in his layout the male plug with female pins?
Hi Jeff,
Just to be clear I am referring to the male pins on the SMEC
