I think my issue at root is that the swap kit i bought was in the process of being AT -> MT swapped. I think the engine was an 89 with an 89 AT ECU and Harness initially. I was sent an extra 88 MT ecu/harness that was likely intended to go on with the transmission swap. Shell is 86.5 and has...

I have been cleaning up the entire engine with a combination of dremels (with small rasps and other attachments), and a drill with a couple of different wire brush heads, and a few brushes (including used electric toothbrushes- which actually work quite well for cleanup....) Also I have used...
