CLarify.... are you looking for the motor harness that would plug in to the relay board? or are you looking for a whole new harness for the chassis?

The chassis harness should be good for either carbs or FI. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I am working on a new 914 chassis harness FWIW, should be available sooner than later, I have most of the complications worked out already.

As far as converting to carbs, you will still need your ignition harness and the stock harness design is good for carbs as is, unless you just happen to want or need a new one. If so, contact me, I have them. Here is the link to my harenss website:

I just removed the engine and I would like to replace the whole wiring system that runs from the relay board though the firewall up along the tunnel to the gauges and ignition. I'm not 100% sure what exactly I need or want to replace, I just want to know if there available out there.

Thanks

Jeff made me one for my carb conversion. The replacement wiring is pretty simple and it really cleans up the engine bay. Price is right, too, for something brand new and custom made.

You will still need to figure out how to power up the fuel pump on your own, however.

Everyone loves Jeff's work. It is good enough for me. I just ordered a correct harness for my 2.0L 73 DJet FI, even with the correct new boots.

Worth saving for. Mine will be in this weekend.

His work in pictures and soon in my hands is flawless. I have had the nasty stuff, and this is a middle-aged man's dream come true, and it doesn't need lobster and pearls.

Excellent, it'd probably be easier to work out the right front wiring issues on my car with a new harness...PO did a real hack-job when replacing the front fender (wires don't operate the correct stuff and grounds suck!).

Can't wait to see the new products when they come out!
