Ordered one from this site that has the option for my car, and the option for TBI.. Turns out they dont sell those wires.

I just need a site I can get a brand new, complete harness from with all the switches. This is the last thing I need to do before I get my car on the road after a year and a half of working on it. Thank you Id appreciate it.

Yeah same here. I was looking on summit racing and they recommended painless wiring but I'm not sure if they have all what I need either. I'm going to call tomorrow and ask about it, guess I could ask about yours as well. Whatever you do, dont order from Keep It Clean Wiring. I've been looking for hours now.

Im sure someone will come through with something eventually, but I will def tell you if I find one.

For the same amount of wires, connectors and circuits, aftermarket harnesses will always require more work than a good used one. If you're tired of dicking off with incomplete aftermarket crap, call thirdgen ranch and tell them your needs and expectations. I'd rather fix a couple connectors on a good used harness than work with a goofy length, differently coloured, missing circuits, differently fused aftermarket one.

I found this one but Idk if its just for the engine bay or for the whole car. I need it for everything.

Im not looking for an aftermarket. Im looking for a new one, not a used one. So if I call third gen ranch what will they do?

Good luck
I am not aware of any place making OEM replacement harnesses for these cars.
Too old and no demand
Your only possibility is someone with a NOS factory harness gathering dust on their warehouse shelf
Any of the harness you see for sale are generic standalone harnesses for engine operation only;
not replacement harnesses specially for 3rd Gen's
A harness you would use to put a TBI or TPI setup into a older car that did not have injection

That is a special engine only harness that is used with the aftermarket F.A.S.T computer

Yes, I know and I'd like a shiny 87 new IROC at 1987 MSRP too.

You mentioned in your prior threads you want one cheap. Used OEM fits that requirement.

A complete aftermarket engine harness for EFI swaps that actually has correct circuits, connectors and is fairly complete is approaching a grand. The rest of the car's wiring is going to be unavailable as "buy new" and I'm guessing a car that NADA books for 3 grand isn't work 2 grand and more in wiring to you.

Your prior threads show you got an aftermarket harness that is missing circuits your car requires and it doesn't fit. But hey, it's new! Yeah, Used OEM would avoid those problems.

Businesses don't keep parts on their shelves based on what you think you want to buy at that moment in time. You're going to have to suck it up and get the short in your car figured out or have someone figure it out for you. Or spend more money and time in replacing the wiring because that's how you feel like approaching the problem.

Buying parts in hopes of avoiding the painful steps of troubleshooting and correcting a problem means you're gonna spend more money and you're gonna potentially never know what the problem was and it may even mean you don't fix the problem.

There's an amazing aftermarket development in parts. You can buy so many parts for earlier Camaros. But it's not that way for third gens yet. And even when it seems that easy, modifications and corrections have to be made to new parts so they fit and work correctly.

I didn't post what I posted to see you repeat yourself. I posted it because that's the best direction to take if you need a whole wiring harness (you don't,) based upon my experiences in swapping EFI powertrains, troubleshooting and fixing shorts and enjoying working on cars.

Don't ask what others can do for you until you're willing to put for the effort yourself necessary to accomplish that which needs to be.

You're welcome.

Can I just buy the wires, then buy the plugs and connect them that way?!.. Yeah I do need the whole wiring harness the previous owners butchered it. Nothing works properly and I'm trying to make this car Like it was in its youth :P .. This is the last thing I would need to do for me to actually get it on the road.

After that, its getting a paint job, all new suspension, eventually new engine, new trans. I plan on going all out so i want to do this right the first time so I don't have to go back later.

I work at advanced auto parts, So I know I can get these plugs and connector pieces pretty cheap.. I just don't know if they come with wires coming out then I have to connect the new wires to the connector pieces with little adapter. Do you see what I'm saying? Id rather have it complete to eliminate any possible mistakes.

F**k it.. this seems like a legit way to go, now that I re-read it. Ill try this and tell you how it goes.

Good luck. It sucks finding parts you want sometimes.

Take your time and invest in a roll of harness tape (not electrical tape) and conduit of a style you like so you can clean up the used just like new.

It's not that horrible to pull the engine bay harness so you can clean it up, verify continuity, look for shorts and replace connectors that are old and busted.

Post up when you get it fixed, replaced or whatever.

Ok, thanks man. I will do I already have the harness out. Im actually putting a carb on it now to replace my TBI. Pretty excited about that. I will post on how it goes I had some bare wires so I'm almost positive that's my short.
