New Wiring Harness
Yesterday I started putting on a new wiring harness that I got from J&P (obsolete at HD) and right off the bat I found a problem.
The 3 twelve wire connectors that J&P used were the wrong ones!!!!!
Now came the fun of taking the pins out of the new and the old so that I could use the old connectors with the new harness.
88 pins and a lot of diagrams later everything except the oil light seems to work (broke the sending unit) even though I had to rewire one connector twice because I put the wires in backwards.
Damn things are keyed who knew?????????
The reason I did all this was that every time I had to strip some wire on the old harness it was very corroded up inside the jacket.
I didn't like that one bit!!!!!!!!!!
Found a broken bolt on disassembly so that's my next project.
Of course the damn bolt broke off inside the frame giving me nothing to get a hold of!!!!
Moco says it's supposed to be a grade 5 but I'm going back with an 8!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh well that's for another day when I get a better screw extractor set.

Nothing is easy.
Makes me think of those videos that were going around a while back with the guy from Tatro Machine rebuilding an Evo. What I liked about those vids is that they showed all the mistakes, all the do-overs, all the false starts. Stood in sharp contrast to the highly-edited Norm Abrams type where he can build an entire dining room set out of cherry and be done in an hour.
