Hi - thinking of going to Hershey on the 24th for the mid-engine invasion (have never been - long trip for me)- I know it will be a blast but how big is it? Can you find just about anything you need there? In my case - need a decent FI harness for a 74 1.8. Any thoughts appreciated.

Yes, you should go. It's big. Swap meets are phasing out (sorta) in my opinion but Hershey is still going on. Alot is social and that's the fun of it. P-car overload. You can get alot of stuff. If you can't get your harness there, see Jeff Bowlsby. I go but it's only 2.5 hours away for me; if it was further, like 6-8 hrs, I wouldn't/couldn't.

Look under member vendors section or PM him - any of his posts has links to the Engine Harness Resto website of his. You won't be sorry from all the others who've had his harness restos. |

I know Chris will probably let this slide but I won't... Chris said he's bringing a complete 1,8 FI setup to Hershey. I donno if the OP actually needs a complete setup (spares desirability vs 'cost of insurance'...) or if Chris would entertain the concept of selling just the harness separately. One nice thing about a swap is these kinds of negotiations can take place in person... But the point here is that Chris is reputable people, and if he's bringing a part I would trust his description of the part. If he says it's 'good, working' then it is. This is kinda the downside of the in-person big swap, because you can't tell by looking who's reputable and who's bringing scrapyard cr&p - and both parties know they'll probably never see each other again. Pretty much - swapmeet sales are cash and final. If you really want to check out a part in person, this is the place. I'd trust Chris' description of a part so if you want to see a 1,8 harness before you lay down your cash, this is an excellent opportunity. Chris will not be foisting problem parts on you... |
