Default TPS test switch wiring harness

Will the throttle position te3st switch wiring harness for a 1984-1991 Corvette (A8906 from Ecklers) fit 1982 TPS. If not, where can I find one?

YES! Been using one for years. Do not know why they do not include 82. It does fit and work.

Thank you Larry. I will put my order in tomorrow (Ecklers for $16). Beware, I ordered one from DCS (Dynamic Crossfire Solutions) on November 5th ($35) and never received the harness. I paid through PayPal and have recourse to file a claim, which I did today.

I have one in my garage. I don't think I'm going to need it any time soon. Could probably send it to you for $10 shipped(+paypal fees) if you want it.

Thanks, I've made a note to self and will get it out of the garage when I get home and verify it. I used this on my 87 to calibrate the TPS, but I don't own that car anymore. Once I get it out I'll send you an invoice tonight.

Good morning,

Yes, this connect fits from your 1982 Corvette. This style connector was used in the 80's and early 90 91 Corvette's and also used on other various vehicles in the 90's.

Thank you.
