I'm trying to keep my daughter's '84 240 wagon alive 'til spring. I just purchased it a month ago, with about 100,000 miles on the odometer. Engine runs strong, good brakes, good suspension. It seems just about everything else has been neglected. I am prioritizing my jobs, and the car has a good deal of potential.
It starts up, runs well, and just passed inspection.

My worry is the terribly degraded insulation on the engine wiring harness. It seems that the driver's side of the harness is in very good shape. I thought of purchasing a harness on ebay, but they've been going for $200 used. That seems pretty steep.

My question is, do I need both sides of the engine harness? I was thinking of replacing the one side with the best automotive wire and connectors I could find.

Your opinions would be appreciated~

Thanks in advance,

Larry
