Don't I remember seeing on some familiar vendor's website a good variety of the original connectors needed to repair wiring within the engine compartment? I thought I saw those somewhere and now can't find them. Reason I ask is that the Temp. II sensor connector (blue, two spade spring clip at the thermostat housing) comes with enough wire to reach the hot exhaust pipes when doing timing/troubleshooting with the engine running. Oy! What a smell! I kind of carved away the burnt parts and stuck it back together, but it's unreliable. Options are: A) replace, B) duct tape. Any help appreciated. On another topic (and yes, I will search the archives as well, now that they work), has anyone done the wiring harness upgrade, and how many hours would you estimate? Was it worth it?
