Up and running now. Thanks @Mike

Take a few pics of every angle of the existing connector. Snip one wire at a time. Strip,clean,crimp the new connector. Install new pin in the corresponding position of the replacement connector. I soldered mine your preference on that. Don’t forget to put the boot on first…

I haven’t had any luck with the sources I know that might have this antenna bracket. If one of you folks has a 280 parts car or know someone that does I could really use the help. Gladly make it worth your while. Thanks in advance, John

Is the Autel Circuit tester model the one you are currently using?

All I can tell you about is my experience going down rabbit holes. Rebuilding the entire harness connections was the saving grace for me to move on in a positive direction. There are many other variables but this was the major success for me. I crimped and soldered each connection and got rid of the corrosion. There were other issues at hand but this was the major hurdle.

Once you strip the wire back you will probably find green corrosion that runs anywhere from 1/8 to 1/4 back on the wire.

I would think so, yes.

@Zed Head I agree. Something is just not adding up. Variables are not going away.

I thought he stated earlier that the original three were dead. Still very curious there’s not a hidden issue where all three in that bank don’t work especially after replacing them. Chinese knock offs aren’t the best but 2 out of three should have worked if not all 3. Has to be some hidden Issue.

Maybe @Mike can tell us what happened.

@Junkyard240Z Junk Yard Jenny might have one.

Those tanks are amazingly well built. I didn’t have any issues reusing the bumper pads from the original tank. Contact cement worked well.

That pulley should spin without any tension IMO. Is that Ac I see in the background hooked up during testing?

Google mechanical vs electrical temp sending units. You are going to have to be creative and research the components necessary to install it temporarily in the thermostat housing.

Got it, Thanks

Can’t get the link to open on my end.

Put a mechanical gauge under the hood if you want an accurate reading.

Looking for this bracket pictured below. Entire antenna and brackets are missing. Thanks, John

Hang in there Jenny!!!

Try junk yard Jenny

That satisfies me on the resistor banks. Just very odd that 3 injectors on one circuit are dead. Stranger things have happened I guess.

I think I understand what you said but can you try that explanation one more time. Did you swap the resistor connections as I suggested. You’re jumping around a bit. We’re trying to delete variables one at a time. First was to make sure both packs were good and clean connections to take that variable off of the board. Results from the suggestions we make determine which direction to go from there. If possible write down the results from each test. Hard for us to go back in the thread and review each step your taking without stating it here.

Check the efi bible to verify but you could swap the packs if you don’t find corrosion. You will find out quickly if 123 stop and 456 fire. Just a thought

That one belt has 3 other variables. Shotgun technique is an expensive way to troubleshoot. @Zed Head had a good point look back in the thread.

You can trace it down with the noid light. Did you check the resistor packs I mentioned? Could be corrosion which would explain those 3 right together. Oddity that it’s that bank connected to those 3 injectors. Definitely would check that first
