Bo Frodo Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 1986 F150 2WD Base Model 302 efi Replaced fuel injectors and the clips on the wire connectors were so brittle almost all of them broke. I have looked online but a simple search does not reveal the results I am looking for or there si no match. Does any one have any suggestions, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I don't see the clips in the MPC's illustration, below. But I did a Google search and found a few pigtails. However I'm not sure any of these fit your truck as I don't remember what the connectors look like. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called the clip as what slides over the injector and holds it in place.I didn't know what to call it . Thanks for google search info. What type of connector am I looking for (EV1) ?

Thanks for google search info. What type of connector am I looking for (EV1) ? So the "clip" is the plastic of the connector? I doubt you can buy that by itself, but haven't tried so don't know. Instead, I think you get a pigtail that you'd use to replace yours. I don't know what type of connectors those are. But, here's a link to the Rock Auto site where I drilled down to the fuel injection connectors on a 1986 F150 w/a 5.0L. I think this may be what you need, and you may find other sources of those part numbers to be less expensive. Or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fords4life Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 You have it nailed. Let us know how it goes. I will be rebuilding my harness completely here in a week or two. Ron Francis wiring has a complete harness for sale for $125. I chose to purchase the components and build mine. I will have $70+/- in all new connectors and wire, but with this being a simple harness, I felt it was a good way to practice building one from scratch. I can post all the info on connectors later. Quick Edit.... If you connectors are brittle, I would highly recommend pulling some of the tape off the harness and confirming the condition of the wire insulation. My looked ok until I tore the tape off and cleaned everything, the insulation was cracked all over the place with exposed wire. Just a thought. Might be smarter to replace the whole thing instead of doing all that work for the pigtails to have something fail later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
