You must have torched a whole lot of wires to pull everything out of the car. Wish I was closer to help out man...

17needhelp...I only have the Engine harness (from fuel injectors to ECM). I don't have the dash harness.
Are you still interested in the Engine Harness???

What you need to find is a good junkyard that will let you pull an entire dash harness like the one you're looking for. That was the inner harness bc it has the fuse block on it.

I'll get pics of my '88 3.8 wiring to you sometime today, BTW...what gauges do you have? base digital, or full digital?

(Base digital just has the digi speedo, full digi has all the gauges in a digital readout..)

The reason I ask...I think there's some slight repinning to do if you try to use one harness with the other kind of gauges, and whatnot.

The stuff I have is for a base digital cluster dash, with manual heater, and non premium sound.

Is this what you have in your car?

( I don't wanna send/sell you stuff that won't work)
I'll get you some good pics later today..:D

Here's the differences
Manual:

Electronic Climate Control:

Premium sound will be indicated either on the speaker grilles in the doors, or if you have a factory eq.

Now the bad...
It appears that both of the '88 dash harnesses I have aren't suitable.
The one has some cut wires that I took out to add to the other harness when I converted to the buttstuffog cluster in the white car.
I'd sell you the lengthened one, but it's been repinned for buttstuffog gauges...

Sorry man, but I do have the engine harness if you want or need it.

17needhelp, I think you need a complete parts car. Sounds like you buried yourself by making a mistake.

If I still have my harnesses off my car how hard would it be to convert the lenghtned one back? And what would I have to do?

You would have to re-pin it for your base digi cluster
