Dang Dog!!!

Well, its been like 3 weeks now and I still can't believe it. One of my dogs chewed off and mangled an injector boot off my '85 T/A harness while I had it out doing some work to it. I left to get a bite, came back and it was missing. Anybody know if there is any kind of an aftermarket for something like this? V8 TPI harnesses are VERY scarce in my area. Perhaps an injector boot from a different kind of car might work??? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!

Go to a junk yard and start looking for a MPFI GM car. I'm sure they are all the same but just go and take a look, get alot of the harness before the injector boot and you should be ok.

Oh and I would have beat the dog

I think you will be ok, 3800 MPFI Engines should be the same.

BEATING the dog is ILLEGAL, But taking it to the Vet to put it to sleep is not, go fig.

Thanks for all your input guys! On a chance, I went to a local junkyard around here (the only one) and the guy at the counter happened to KNOW that V6 Celebritys, Centurys and Pontiac 6000's (the MPFI's of course) all have the same boots and stuff. Snip, snip...One Century minus one injector boot and I am a happy camper! The dog wasn't in my good graces to say the least!
