ds2 wiring harness

anyone know how or where to pick up a new ignition wiring harness- '77 with 400? Not really intrested in a scrapyard ignition project and it seems that i've had more problems with wiring than with any other part of the duraspark system.

will likely run my hei set up until I get this wired out.

The wiring and connections on these trucks are OLD. Many have been probed and pricked with countless test probes allowing the wires to corrode. Many aftermarket parts are made with substandard cheap Asian sourced electrical wire which is brittle.

Try a painless #30812.

You can make a new one.
Get some proper wire and build it the same as what is removed.
Been there, done that.
