Connectors?
My connectors/wiring at the firewall (I guess this is called the ignition harness?) are shot. Does anyone know where I can get new connectors/harness? Or, is there a good diagram available that I could use to build my own (maybe connect wire to wire?) The truck is a '76 F150 4X4 with 360 and duraspark ignition (no points). This harness connects at the distributor with two additional wires going to the temperature and oil pressure sensors, and then splits into 2 plugs that plug into connectors off the firewall. I'd sure appreciate any input, as now if I hit a bump, sometimes the wires short and the truck dies.
Thanks in advance!

Maybe start with a wrecking yard.
You of course will find some in Better shape than others.
Don't give up,they are out there.
This is you most in-expensive way to replace it.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 17-Jan-02 AT 01:52 PM (EST)]Thanks.
I've looked in a couple of yards...non existent or in worse shape than mine. I'd rather just wire it myself, but haven't been able to locate even the connectors. Guess I'll keep looking. Can you give me an idea of what years should match up? Could I use the same year's Bronco wiring? Thanks again

Some aftermarket automotive wire doesn't hold up like factory.
I know it has disintegrated but, it is old.
The wire should be heat resistant.
Also,
How soon do you want replace it ?
I'm going to the wreckers again soon, so I could keep my eyes open
for a harness.
