Engine Wiring Harness

[vuddysr]

Hello everyone I'm vuddysr, yep, new kid on the block. Just found this site and happy to be here. I've owned my 1977 late edition 280z for 27 years and I'm currently restoring it. Darn squirrels ate the wires to the engine harness and I need to find a solution. There will be no problem with the interior because I am a vintage vehicle upholsterer. Been doin upholstery for 40 years mostly home and commercial furniture until one day I met a man that was restoring a 1942 Dodge and he needed the seats upholstered so we made a sweet deal involving the Dodges seats and my Z. So here we are, body work in process, engine rebuilt, but the wires are corroded and some chewed areas. In other words, cant' crank the engine. It turns strong but wont crank. I need a engine wiring harness without going broke to get one. Can anyone help?

If you have the FSM you could probably repair it faster than finding a quality replacement....would be cheaper as well. I was looking for a EFI harness a couple years ago and found out mine was in better shape so I just made a couple simple repairs and it's good. You know there are 2 harnesses in the engine compartment right? There is the engine and EFI harnesses.

If you're harness is really that bad and you deside to buy a used one try this: http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?44788-Wiring-harness-repair-kit-eliminate-your-electrical-gremlins!-Rate-Topic&highlight=harness+repair

I am thinking of ordering the kit myself.
