Seeking '83 240 wiring harness -- the expensive one. 200 1983

posted by  someone claiming to be Al Mattei on  Thu Mar 14 04:21 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Here's the deal. The car ran dead rich last week (smelly exhaust and poor fuel mileage) until I replaced the oxygen sensor and replaced a vacuum hose that fell out of the fuel pressure regulator.

Then, I noticed that my replacement wiring harness (replaced in Nov. 2000) had wire sheathing that flaked off like a warm candy cane.

Questions:

1. Is there a replacement harness that is heat-resistant?

2. What kind of heat-resistant sheathing can be added on to any new wiring harness to prevent this from happening in the first place?

3. What is the warranty, usually?

4. Who's got replacements? I know IPD goes for something line $450.

5. I know there are some folks who have done this themselves. What are the pitfalls? Is this worse than the blower motor (which, incidentally, I did myself)?
