    Has anyone replaced the wiring harness on an 88 with 4.2L or similar?

    In the same boat. I went a bit low budget but the system I got seems good so far (VERY POOR KNOWLEDGE WAS INCLUDED). All checked out. Painless isn't so well known for no reason. They are more expensive but if its a plug and play harness and you can swing it. I'd go that route.
