He needs one from an '88 5.0 ONLY...ABS was only on the TC's ;)

'87 harness won't work without some mods, easier to use an '88 harness, as I did.

Cats and Birds either/or will be fine, long as it's 5.0 and an '88. :D

I knew a guy that modded a 3.8 harness, but can't verify what he did, or even if it was feasible, as he had a lot of issues, but it DID run....sorta... :punchballs:

Theres no such thing as a 88 ho harness.they were all so.
Thats why I mentioned a mk7 they were Ho.All the sensors are just about the same if not the same.

The description for that harness says it's for a Mustang.  Purportedly, Mustang harnesses won't work in our cars without extensive modifications.

I ended up finding one, but do you have the altenator harness for the 88?

It's my understanding that most guys just splice into where the alt wires come out of the headlight harness.  Since the alternators on TC's were on the opposite side of the engine bay than what Sports did, I think a lot of guys splice in and extend the harness.
