damn!

those are your main harness pig tails, or better known as the salt and pepper shakers.

its not going to be easy, but you have to fix all those damaged lines properly.

Nice thing is that you should be able to to unclip those connectors and cut away some tape and be able to pull those out far enough so you can at least work on them on the top of the intake rather than behind it in that space.

That is fucking hilarious!! Too bad, you should be able to fix it with some patience...hope you know how to solder!

95tbirdv8 · March 5th, 2011, 10:49 PM

I would find them at the junkyard that way you can just match the wire colors

cleangtvert · March 5th, 2011, 11:07 PM

i have an extra set. where are you located? could do some swaping for parts or something. my extra set are from a 46k origanal mile 91 motor. still had the dated & numbered stock plug wires on it

MIGHTYJO3YOUNG · March 6th, 2011, 12:55 AM

looks like they started a little nest and everything!

xxsteveo66 · March 6th, 2011, 12:32 PM

Thank for all the help.i now have some answers...i am going to start by hacking off pigtails from a stang at a local junkyard(ive already been there notice the white spare tire in my pic)...and then shortly there after I am goin to skin that squrrel alive!!...

Uber88GT · March 6th, 2011, 03:28 PM

Bait the little prick with the old salt and pepper shakers!!!!

'97'Cobra · March 6th, 2011, 03:35 PM

moth balls and dryer sheets will keep them out of there. Rodents only do it to fords because ford used peanut oil on there wires and the animals can smell it.

ddarkslayer · March 6th, 2011, 04:05 PM

you can prolly pick up a harness for a good price on ebay.

oh NV

That'll work but just go the jewish route with connecting the new wires up.. ie no butt connectors or some shit. Solder them up nice and don't just wrap em with electrical tape

I don't know the truth to the peanut oil statement, but rodents do it to all vehicles. I've had 2 GM's where mice got in and ate through the wires and made nests in them, and my old cornet had a bunch of nests in it when i picked it up and there were a couple of wires chewed under the dash.

drill a hole in your exhaust and let the gases kill the mice haha
