Exclamation Help with 12A wiring...

I need to find a wiring harness for my 12a, (the 'main' harness across the top of the engine). I have looked everywhere I could think of looking and cannot find one for a 12a. My new engine comes in a week or so and I want to replace as many older parts as possible.

buy an aftermarket carb and you wont even need it, just run wires to alt. and a couple sensors. get the most out of your new engine.

I agree, just make a new harness, and use better thicker wiring.

I thought about getting a new carb, wasnt sure about which switches to unplug. My wiring is a bit stiff, was just going to go with original stuff. But now that you mention it, maybe a new carb might be the way to go..... so undecided.

you pretty much unplug everything, putting carbs on these cars is a very easy task, affording them is the problem.

Washington. I may know of a couple extra 83s but I will have to check again. I will let you know if I find something.

Hey! Another 1st gen owner in the area. Welcome! Ian has been helping me rebuild a 13B 6 port for my 85 GS project car. He's a nice guy and it's nice to have the help. But his avatar doesn't really reflect how he looks...his nose is a little bigger than that

Hey just an FYI.... I found a website for a company that will make ANY wiring harness needed for ANY vehicle ever made, pretty much.
