WIRE FROM ALTERNATOR TO SOLENOID - '80 244 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Jim Hampton on  Tue Feb 5 10:45 CST 2002 [RELATED]

The red wire from the alternator to the solenoid is shot on the '80 244. I'm not certain about the gauge - not too good at estimating - but crimp-on fittings for 8-10 gauge are too small. I can't locate fittings for larger wire. The dealer says they only sell it as a complete engine wiring harness. I can't imagine they really charge a customer a bunch for one stinking wire, so they must have a way to replace the one. Or - do they really screw someone that badly? If anyone has some hints, I'd appreciate knowing about it.
