We keep most of these harnesses in stock.
Hey thanks so much for clearing that up, I didnt know that. I wonder if I that has anything to do with the headlight switch causing the car to shut off, but I was kinda thinking it was just an increased load draw on an already weak main power connection.

So this main engine harness for $150 replaces all main power wires up to the bulkhead/ fuse box (besides battery cables of course). With the values of these cars the way the are, probably would be worth the $800 or so to rewire the whole car. One day.

Ill be in contact with you guys when im ready to buy (late May).

I would bet the big vendors source their harnesses from one or the other of these suppliers.

You can buy a bulkhead connector repair kit if that's your preference:

Never rewired a C2 so I can't answer the single bulkhead connector question. Also spending $25 for the Dr. Rebuild laminated color schematics is one of the best expenditures you can make for your car:

Hey thanks, I saw that but I dont really think that part is my issue. Kinda want to pull that assembly apart to inspect it and replace the firewall gasket though.
