LS6 engine connections from Canems engine loom
Here is my take on the wiring for an LS6, but if you use this please do check it yourself as the engines do differ depending upon age. Yes it is a bit complex and boring, but is essential in getting the beast going! Apologies if this is obvious to you - it wasn't to me.
This might seem premature, as the wiring loom will not be installed until the body is put on the chassis - a few weeks away yet!
The first part of the notes below gives the loom connection tag on the Canems loom. The next bit is the number of wires. The final bit is where it goes on the engine. As I struggled, there are also some pictures of the sensors to help identify them.

Engine
- Alternator - 4 wire connector – alternator on nearside of car
- Injector
1 - 2 wire connector - nearside injector 1 (front)
Injector connector
- Injector 3 - 2 wire connector - nearside injector 2
- Injector 5 - 2 wire connector - nearside injector 3
- Injector 7 - 2 wire connector - nearside injector 4 (back)
- Earth connection - 1 wire ring - to chassis
- Not marked on mine - round connector 1 - to GD Body Loom (different size to other)
- Not marked on mine - round connector 2 - to GD Body Loom (different size to other)
- Reverse light - 2 wire - to gearbox connector - front connector on gearbox with wire
- Odd lambda - 4 wire connector - nearside lambda in lower bend of manifold
- Odd knock - (mine was in the valley between the two heads) single green wire - discard the connector on the engine and do not use the black earth leads. Connect nearside knock lead of loom to rear sensor
- Oil
temperature sender - 1 wire 6.3 mm spade - to sensor above oil filter on nearside
Oil temperature - Throttle
position - 6 wire connector – nearside of throttle (throttle pot)
Throttle position sensor - Injector 2 - 2 wire connector - offside injector 1 (front)
- Injector 4 - 2 wire connector - offside injector 2
- Injector 6 - 2 wire connector - offside injector 3
- Injector 8 - 2 wire connector - offside injector 4 (back)
- Even coil connector - 7 wire connector on top of rocker cover offside
- Starter solenoid - 2 red connected wires with ring - to lower terminal (without connection to starter)
- Starter solenoid - slate/red wire with ring - to green covered terminal
- Even
lambda – 4 wire connector – offside lambda in lower bend of manifold
Offside lambda sensor - Even knock - (mine was in the valley between the two heads) single blue wire - discard connector and do not use the black earth leads. Connect offside knock lead of loom to front sensor
- 6.3 mm spade – 1 wire near relay – to terminal 87 on that relay (if not already looped)
- Battery 12v ring connection - 1 thick red wire - 12v supply from battery
- "Pump" lead - 1 wire pink/white - connect to pump wire in body loom
Gearbox
- The speedo pick up is near the tail of the gearbox on the offside
Speed sensor - Two wires go to the front connection on the offside (nearest the bell housing) for the reverse lights
- The reverse lock out, which I do not plan to connect initially (will just run a pair of wires to the dash area), is at the rear of the gearbox on the nearside.
