I was amazed that this car was still running with all of the cracked sheathing/insulation and bare wires adjacent to each other in the 21 year old harness. I spent a whole evening with a soldering iron, a heat gun, and a bunch of adhesive filled shrink tubing of different diameters just repairing the harness. I had three injectors, the idle switch wire, and idle stabilizer connection all with bare copper wires exposed. Last year i repaired the MAF connection when it was found in the same condition.
I would suggest that anyone with one of these older models should do an intake R&R and see where you stand with the wiring harness.

Looks awesome ! Nice to see another 85-86 intake with "the treatment".
If i may be so bold to suggest
http://jageng.com/garage9/product_in...143450621640e2
a billet oil cap for the final treatment. After I did my intakes the oil filler cap stuck out like a sore thumb. I have had many complements since replacing with the billet + crest.

Agreed. The 1st thing the DFW group did was toss mine away.
Otherwise that looks fantastic.

What's this about the K&N?
Mine came with one, I was happy to see it because I knew I could clean it myself. Then I read
somewhere that someone had a dyno run better with the stock orange filter.
Any other info on the K&N? Are they only bad if you over oil them?
