I came close to buying that about a week ago. The "no warranty" stopped me.

That has been listed several times, for quite a while. Looks like someone finally bought it.

How could he warranty something like this? The buyer can easily do something to it and then claim it came that way.

I wasn't saying it wasn't a great deal. I was considering buying it just in case (hopefully mine is salvageable). If I had needed it more, things might have been different. The description of "appears to be unused but no there is no warranty this part" was enough to make me rethink the purchase. I wouldn't have had a second thought about it if it was from one of our vendors or members.

FWIW for a harness on the floor its pretty easy to test the wires and connectors for continuity,
from the looks of the harness pictured it looks to be a new part.

I put a used but good condition engine harness onto my 86 it ran great after that was installed .

Default Better Than Advertised

This harness has never been installed. The ground rings have never been screwed down and it looks like the connectors have never been mated.

Checking with an ohm meter all I can find is that one injector connector appears reversed.

This shouldn't matter as injectors are not polarity sensitive, correct?


Thanks for posting the link Mark.

I searched with no luck. Any good threads on changing this thing?

Maybe as a subset of a motor R&R?

I thought hard about that harness since it was local, but I recall I had some issue as to which model it fit.
