It 'should' be under the dash on the pass. side. Drop the under-dash panel, then it's just behind the face of the dash.

The line is the dash face

It's 'usually' held on with velcro to the back of the face. Just give it a good "YOINK" and it should come out.

Other than the cold start injector there isn't much difference between 87 to 89 as long as the memcals are for the same engine size and tranny. And you won't "fry" nothing. Both 87 and 89's use the 165 MAF ecm.

If the harness is toast, snip off the connectors, grab all the sensors,relays and toss em into a box. Never know when you might need to replace something and its midnight.

Never thought to cut off all the connectors, I did keep the injector harness, and the relays for the fans, fuel pump, etc.
Thanks a lot for th eadvice, any help is always appreciated.

Any idea if the wire harness is the same for 305 vs. 350 ???
