WANT TO BUY - WIRING HARNESS

Will pay TOP DOLLAR for under hood wiring harness. New, used, after market... Must fit a 1987 Ford F150 with a 5.8 carbureted 351.
Text/call : nine one zero - three five two - six three eight three

I believe you will end up having to piece something together or start checking junkyards
Not sure what you mean by top dollar but I'll look at the junkyards around here for you
The harness on the engine side is the front half of the harness that is everything in front of the bulkhead connector IIRR
The old, carbureted ones may have had a separate alternator harness
A carb'd 87 is a Unicorn IMO and you may never find one

I agree. What is wrong with the harness in the truck? If you are replacing it because of age, a used harness isn’t necessary going to be better.

Every 351W was carbureted in ‘87 so it isn’t a unicorn but finding a 36 year old harness will be a challenge.

The wire insulation is degraded and is causing various shorts. It just blew a brand new starter solenoid as soon as I started it.

New, they were north of a thousand bucks
If you were to find a part number, you may find a NOS one on Ebay

Have you seen a new one somewhere? I've looked all over with no luck.

No
Do you have a part number yet?
If that then maybe I can help
Obsolete parts in CA
You need the part number
Fixing yours most likely the best bet
You will need a real Ford schematic
Good thing is there is not a lot of wires on your carbureted 87
How bad is it?
Can't be much worse than my Boss 302 was when I got it? (Unless it was a burn job)
