From here it looks like someone has already wrapped and soldered a splice in that white wire at the center.

I generally dislike this work.
I helps if you can stagger th splices so you don't end up with one huge wad in the harness.

I missed the "repair", although I'm not sure it was very effective.

But fully agree about staggering the joints.

If you need specific colors let me know, I have a lot of salvaged wire from both Ford and Chrysler products.

Thanks! I will send you a message.

Looks like 8 wires to be replaced (just looking for breaks, missing insulation, etc)

So far the rest of the harness looks ok, only the exposed areas look to have all the damage.

Just curious, was the entire harness wrapped originally? It’s hard to believe Ford would have left all those wires exposed at the rear of the engine.

Harness should be wrapped, but like I said it looks like someone has already been there because Ford doesn't make splices like that.

Perhaps they "fixed" something when I got the engine rebuilt (this was 20+ years ago now, but it would explain a lot)

"they"...... there's always a 'they'

True story. I have found several things on the truck where "they" did things that were just "bad", things that I would never do or leave the way they were.

In this instance, the "they" was the engine shop that rebuilt my 302. The engine itself seems fine still, but they took forever. I was too young to figure it out at the time, but after working on this EEC-IV system, my guess is they spent a month troubleshooting it when they put everything back together.

Hi Bill,

I sent you a message through your profile. Not sure if it went through though, but I know there's a bug in that part of the site. If you didn't, let me know how I can get ahold of you. Thanks!

I rarely find an instance where it's easier to un'fix' something than it would have been to fix it right the first time around.

That said, if this truck doesn't die before I do I'm sure there'll be more than one person cursing my innovative engineering!

Jim, I need to document Darth as I have my Lebaron for whoever winds up with either.

I’m out and about, but will comment later. However, BB’s aux battery should have been included in the figure as he came with one. But obviously not the winch nor bumper. Subtract for the headers, but add for the inverter, air compressor, bed cover, jack, etc, etc, etc.

On the other hand, there’s the D60 and SD springs, so….

Gary, while I inadvertently have you here: The "Send email to member" function - I know you don't get an on screen confirmation, but I selected the "CC me" checkbox and didn't get an email copy.

I'm trying to send a message to Bill to get in touch with him regarding his generous offer - even if I didn't get a copy of the email, do we think the message was sent?

Not Gary but check your spam.
Might as well whitelist Nabble while you're at it.

The email system on the forum is a mess. That's apparently because Franklin, Mr Nabble, diddled with it to prevent spammers from using it. So it doesn't tell you when it sends a message, and doesn't always send one.

So I sent you and Bill an email to connect you 'cause I have your email addresses. Sorry.

No worries Gary, much appreciated!

It looks like the script or page is caught in a loop, it hits the same URLs more than a 500 times before it gives up.

Re: Return of Code 31...

Chris - Would you be willing to see if you can figure out how to fix it? I can make you an admin, which will let you examine or even edit the code that runs most of the forum. I say "most" because there is some core code that we cannot get to.

And the code is in Nabble, which is a one-off code. But it isn't that difficult to understand.

Sure, I'd be happy to take a peek and see what I can do. No promises, but with enough time I can probably get to the correct layer of this onion

(its just like working on a Bullnose, you really don't know what you're getting into at the beginning!)

Re: Return of Code 31...

Ok, I've made you an admin, but will email you with some info on how editing works. But be aware that you also have the power to delete the whole forum.
