Anyone know where to get one of these?

I am in need of a new wiring harness that goes from the firewall to my starter. It's located up by the heater just to the right of it and runs down to the starter with one blue wire running to the sending unit by the distributor. It's been spliced and taped up it won't work anymore. I can make one I guess but just looking for a new harness if they are available but I can't find them.

Funny, I got 667000 hits when I searched...
The 1st 2 links will have direct replacements but you can do better on price by buying the same harness elsewhere.
Brother's is a board vendor.

Re: Anyone know where to get one of these?

I just cut mine out! The only wire that was in use was the purple wire to starter. The Battery main wire and that wire are the only ones I have. I ran a red wire to the coil. New electric gauges I put in, The Water Temp got a Blue Wire, The Oil got a Green wire. That's all that would be in that harness minus gauge cluster pink wire.
If you don't have a Yellow 60-66 Manual I would get one. The wire diagrams are very useful let alone all the info you can shake a stick at.

Most places call it an engine harness.

In addition to the purple starter wire, this harness typically includes a resistance wire to power the ignition coil, a green wire or two for the temperature gauge or hot/cold lights, a blue wire for the oil pressure light, and one of the ammeter wires (on trucks w/factory gauge clusters).

I believe what you need is the Engine Harness. Goes to the starter, HEI and Temp Sending Unit. M&H has them if you go to their website that I posted. You will need to specify whether you have warning lights or gauges on your cluster.

Engine wire harness is what they call it. This one is standard Brothers Trucks has a HEI one as well.
