I believe the wiring harness must be from a 1984-1987 eagle, unless you want to do some hacking and make a harness work.

             Hello Dave, 

      I have the radiator shroud,2 vacuum canisters ... plastic balls or cans ?? I know I have the can type ....,radiator overflow tank,windshield washer tank,charcoal canister,heater control valve that I can send you right away. Also the triple valve assy if your system was working.... I may even have a loose wire harness but will have to check it may be from a hornet. Give me acouple day to round it up ... but I will need an address.

                                                                                                               Regards, Iron Horse

Hello Dave,

              I got your email .... I've got everything rounded up .... just need to pack it, should ship tomorrow ( Tues.)  there is no charge, just from one Eagle owner to another, no strings. I wouldn't be using these parts in my lifetime, or whats left of it.  I still need to find the wiring harness and do some ohm checking, but if it doesn't have the firewall feedthru for the computer I'll know right away it's a Hornet harness. 

                                                                                                      Regards, Iron Horse

I just want to thank all of you for helping my dad and me out with this. It means a lot to us. It means a lot to me.

This Eagle was my first car, purchased it myself, and it's my prized mode of transportation. It feels like I've had it way longer than just 3 years.

For those that are up for helping us out, go ahead and contact my dad (username DAVE, if you didn't already know) because he knows way more than I do about that kind of stuff.

Thank you so much, everyone!!! :) :) :)
My Eagle is better than your Jeep.

Love to see Eagle Owners pooling together to help fellow Eagle owners.  I would contribute something, but I don't have any spare parts anymore.
