1988 5.0l parts needed

I am in need of a 1988 5.0l engine (fuel injection) harness and alternator harness. I need the computer to go with the car. It must be an unaltered and uncut harness. The computer would be needed as well. If you don't have one, but know where there is one, please let me know.

It must be a 1988. Thanks.



John

What's the difference between the '87/'88 fuel injector harness and alternator harness.I believe those two harnesses for the '87 are the same as an '88.If so,I may have access to them.

Vinnie, the differences is in the wire colors and the plugs. My 1987 v8 harnerss plugs do not match the plugs in my 1988 car. The end which connects to the computer is the same, but where they  tie in near the driverside firewall is different. 3 people have told me this, so i'm trying to locate a 1988 set of harnesses.

But the injector harness and alternator harness are the same aren't they.I knew the main harness was a little different.I found that out when I was doing my Mass Air upgrade.

The altenator harness is pretty close. It can easily be rewired to match. What wont is the injector harness where it ties into the dash harness. The plugs are different between the v6 and v8. I was told by two members on this site that a 1988 v8  injector harness would plug into the 1988 v6 dash harness(drivers side of car near firewall).

I do believe that I have the injector harness you seek, and the computer. I'll check today while I'm at the shop. JPC647, where are you located? My shop is in Medford.
