My 242 is showing symtoms of the harness disease. I'm waiting for a good harness from Dave Barton, but I'd like to fix the wire that plugs onto a spade connector at the top of the back of the alternator in the meantime. Also, I plan to replace the one that feeds the sender next to the oil filter. I'm figuring on clipping these two and rerouting them outside the harness sheathing. I don't want to mess anything up. Can anyone tell me where the best place to tie in the new wires would be? Where do these two wires end up? What gauge wire should I use for these two?
