So i decided to rebuild my crumbling harness.. i used TLX wire and Silicone/Fiberglass sleeve to protect it from heat and oil. And new connectors.

That's some work. What was your source for the connectors? Just handling the 14-pin connector if the top comes off and all the pins come out is fun, let alone wiring a new one.

I (well actually Rod Kubis did most of the work) basically did the same, but with wire from an old LH harness. Made a big difference.

i got my connector from Roger. Firesleeve.com for the sleeving.

Carl sells a front harness, was it worth the time etc to do your own?

I've been looking at making new harnesses for some time, front and both brains, but haven't gotten started yet waiting on other products etc. Turns out one of my surplus dealer friends has a bunch of teflon aerospace wire in some variety of colors, so I may finally get going on them, but its a task that begs for a jig etc and doing several.

i spent about 110 bucks in materials. so for me it was well worth it. i also deleted the cold start system. so i dont have unused plugs laying around.

I am assuming that when you buy these connectors you have to buy them by the box so if anyone is going to do this and try to build a few extra to cover thier costs let me know I'm interested.

Thanks

I couldn't bear the thought of all that cutting, crimping and soldering. I got out my MasterCard and did it the easy way.

i had fun making it. i like wiring.... except the back of the fuse box... :-(

I "like" wiring too, but not under the hood!!!
