Thanks to everyone's help for my post on subject last month and now here's an update.
1. The 87 wiring harness will work for the '86 w/ minor modification of the temperature sensor connector.('86 has single spade connectors while '87 has an oblong w/ two round female connectors).Just improvise a spade connector(can't remember the wire color right now)for that purpose and it's done.Now there will be an extra connector by the ignition coil that will be unused (this is the other end of the wire that was not used at the temperature sensor).
2.I had high idle problems after the install and turn out to be a malfuntioning
Idle motor.I drove it for a month w/ the idle motor disconnected and yesterday got a used one from the boneyard and everything is fine now.
Thanks a lot again for all the help and if anybody is thinking of a wiring harness job,don't get intimidated if I can do it anybody can.
