Question on replacement wiring harness

[DJ Dep]

There is a single screw (just one I think) that holds the engine wiring harness plug to the plug in the firewall. Does this screw come with a new engine wiring harness? I sure hope so because my screw has disappeared into the phantom zone

Disregard. I checked some wire kits and they do come with that screw.

Yep. THe big trick is to use that dielectric grease on the block so no water gets in the connectors. Even if the harness comes with it applied, I added some more -- make it squeeze out all over to make sure no water gets in there. Messy, but no thing to clean up after- and a lot less hassle than trying to figure out why the electrics died.

Thanks for that suggestion, Tim. I'll make sure to "goop it up" when I install it.
