Did you buy a repo harness? The reason i ask is the same thing happened to me. Harness was to short. Odd thing is i saw on ebay a guy selling what he said was a factory extension for 351 engines. It was about a 4 inch piece that plugged in at the fire wall end of harness. Don't know if ford made that part but it did have the right conectors on both ends.That's where mine was, but I needed a new XR7 gauge wiring harness, and the wiring isn't long enough for the coil in that location. I thought maybe it had gotten moved.
Mine is on the drivers side (USA)I have seen guys have the coil mounted here (inside the red circle) ... which I'm quite sure is not correct, but then again, how should I know ... lolMaybe they did it for the same reason; the wires were too short???

That might be the answer.I wonder if there is/or was a difference in wiring harnesses for A/C and non A/C cars?
My car was non-A/C and had the coil on the PS.I wonder if there is/or was a difference in wiring harnesses for A/C and non A/C cars?
Did some carcheology on that part.Odd thing is i saw on ebay a guy selling what he said was a factory extension for 351 engines. It was about a 4 inch piece that plugged in at the fire wall end of harness. Don't know if ford made that part but it did have the right conectors on both ends.
Now that you mention it, my car originally had one of those! I had long since forgotten about it and had no idea what it was for, I had assumed at the time it might be a thingie that added resistance to the temp sender wire and that the temp gauge would not read correctly without it (something I think I had read somewhere along the line in the past). Have no problems (to my knowledge) with temp gauge readings though. Know anything about the temp gauge thing "not Lin"??Did you buy a repo harness? The reason i ask is the same thing happened to me.
