Subject:      Sensor connector sources?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed"

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?
