injector socket boots
Or what ever they are called! I'm in the process of pulling the motor in my 85 and will be replacing all the 20 year old wire covers and other misc comnnectors and such. I noticed that several of the rubber boots that go over the injector plugs are cracked, can you replace these if so where do you get them. also just found one were the wire was pulled out of the socket.
Any suggetions would be greatly appreciated

I know you can get these at Eckler's, but I'm sure you could get them lots of other places, too:

Interestingly, the Eckler's part nor the harnesses on my '89 have the rubber boots your '85 has.
Good luck!

As far as those boots go...I think you'd have to de-pin the connector to change them out...And I do like the way the boots give the harness a nice "finished" look compared to the following years' harnesses.

Looks like oil and maybe solvents got on the wires and affected the insulation. I guess since I've always kept my engine comp clean and fixed leaks as soon as they happened my wiring has lasted.

the real problem is that to replace the harness requires the total disassemby of the dash.
