Swapping b16a to b20b - wiring questions help needed asap.
OK, got the b16 out, and putting the harness on the b20. Got everything hooked up except for 2 sensors.
1. I have a 2 "prong" plug next to the oil filter on the b16. But not plug in that location on the b20. I'm guessing it's a temp sender? Also, I have a 2 wire temp sensor on the thermostat housing of the b20. Do I just extend the 2 wires from the "2 prong" sensor, to the "plug" on the thermostat housing?.
2. At the end of the harness that goes to the side of the head I have 2 plugs, and wire cut wire that appears to be a shielded wire. The end is cut off, and I have no idea what it goes to as the isn't any more open plugs to attach it to.
Fast/any help would be greatly appreciated. Gotta have this thing up and running b4 monday.
Thanks!

Also,
Should I be using the b16 crank pulley? Using the b20 pulley my alternator belt is too short. Get a new belt, or use the b16 pulley?

you're gonna need a new belt either way. b20 has a taller deck.
the old temp sender was on the back of the block. it is now in the thermostat housing like you thought.
