Ignition part

Post by JPP »

I am looking for an ignition module (ECU) wire harness for a 1976 318 CI Chrysler engine with electronic ignition. Can anyone help or direct me to a possible source. I will consider a used harness as well. THX JPP

That style wiring harness was used on virtually all Chrysler 6 and 8 cylinder engines in the 1970s. You could probably find a nice one in the nearest junkyard pick-n-pull (self serve or the kind where you ask the people in the office to get it for you, either/or). There were detail differences in ECUs and distributors, but the harness itself is nothing special and millions of them are out there.

Where are you located?

I have two of them and you can have them, both have the pigtailed plug. Will send them to you. Provide address.
