This what you are looking for ?
Robert, it is exactly what I am looking for. Question, in the middle picture there appears to be two wires connected to the alternator held down by the nut, while on the 1st and 3rd pic there appears to be only one single wire?

robert,
On the second pic, is that a "hotwire" for the fuel pump?

Javier, I believe it is the hot wire kit for the fuel pump. It's an upgraded hot wire to the upgraded fuel pump.

Yeah its two different TTA's, one stock one modded, single wire is stock.

That's what I thought.
Trace the wire; the one (single one in the picture) would be from the battery plus pole (runs down at the front of the engine, low part of front cover in a plastic channel).
A hotwire kit wire would run straight to the back of the car (to the fuel pump), along the driver side somewhere most likely strapped to the fuel and brake lines running front to rear.

If one of the wires runs straight back to the fuel pump, That's your hot wire kit.
IDK

Main thing is do not connect it to anything until you know whats on the other end, or bad MoJo can happen..
Ebay im guessing to find this?
So the extra wire attached to the alternator runs to this relay, several of the other wires just go into the harness going into the drivers side of the car. When I attempted to plug the end of the wire on the relay a loud crackling noise came from the starter/flywheel area?
You would need to trace those wires and see where they end up ... a electrical schematic will help you see what they are hooked up too.
Maybe they bypassed the VATS system in a strange way ... or is there some sort of immobiliser / alarm installed ?
Thanks Jan, Im guessing I would be able to locate the electrical schematic on the TTA supplement manual?
You would need both the regular 1989 Firebird Service manual as well as the TTA supplement service manual to cover all electrics in our cars. TTA supplement only covers what is unique to the TTA.
I see several TTA supplement service manual's on ebay currently for around the $35 mark in good condition ... should be a number of the regular service manual on there as well but not looked recently.
