Have decided to replace engine harness.
Dave Barton does not have the appropriate harness
What are other reasonable options?

As of today none on Ebay or local craigs list (sf bay area)

A mixture of OEM and OES new harnesses seem to be available in price range of $280-500.

Any problem with the OES harnesses (like those on FCP groton)? Should I pay more for "OEM" harness? Are OEM harnesses really OEM?

On another subject I still cannot get the grey connector off the firewall. Does it pull up to come off the clip? Above there is a bulky wiring harness and hose making pulling up difficult without stressing the harness and hose. The hose is supple but the harness sheath is hardened with age. I would like to repair the grey connector wires but cannot seem to remove or separate the connector without risking damage. Any advice on what would seem to be a simple task would be appreciated.

Thanks
Howard
