Found two sources for the rubber boots for the fuel inj harness.
WWW.VOLVO-1800.com Fuel inj parts. Pt # 943693 two pin , Pt #945783 three pin, and Pt# 943695 four pin . Kit of 7 two pin , 2 three pin , and 1 four pin about $55.00 with shipping included.
The local Volvo dealer can order the two pin ones for $4.00 ea.
Are these prices reasonable?

Hey I am glad you found these, I didn't know about them. They are a somewhat different design than the OEM boots, but they look like they should work. They are good for owners who dont need a new harness. The boots are important to protect the wiring from heat damage and the connections from contamination, both of which cause bad connections and FI 'issues'. I see the 5-pole boot is not available, but that boot is usually ok most of the time anyway becasue its up away from most of the heat.

So how do you put them on,,, does the harness have to be taken apart to get these boots on?

you need a special tool, called a modified jelwers screwdriver to push in a little clip inside the plastic connector, DO one wire at a time so you dont get them all mixed up--theyre all white.

Rich, how many do you need?

I have a few I could send you. I was building harnesses as a side job, until I found that I may be steppign on peopel's toes.
