I need help finding an alternator wiring harness for my 87 2.5L 4 cyl XJ... I already looked at the junk yards and the local dealerships and the junk yard said they didn't have one, but truly they didn't know what I was talking about... and the dealership said that they couldn't order one.... So does anyone know any sites that sell them??? just to clarify its the wire with two plugs... one that goes to the back of the alternator and one goes to the igniton coil module

the local junkyard is a they pull so they wont let anyone out there to dig around for anything so I dont like to deal with them... but I think I found what I was lookin for online.. http://goodies-speedshop.com/i-15439...r-pigtail.html I think this it... but it doesn't seem like it though... doesn't seem like it would plug into the ignition coil but I have yet to see what an XJ looks like with the electrical system looking stock...

i dont know if that alt will work or not. but if that plug will work then you can splice wire into the factory up by the plug at the coil

well I was told by my cousin that the Chevy LUVs share basically the same engine and electrical system as the XJs so I think it should work
