I have a nos wiring harness part #2444088 that I can't find any info on it's application. If anyone knows what this fits it would be appreciated. Box is dated 6-70 . Thanks guys .
That sorta looks like a power seat harness to me - part number dates from 1963-ish - I looked through the 65 book listing, no luck, and the 62 and 63 books had lots more number that were very close, but again, no luck. That harness has a big 12V feed wire coming in, a big black ground wire, and a lot secondary wiring - and all the terminals look like the screw into some sort of distribution blocks at both ends. Just thoughts, no proof.
Yeah it doesn't look like any I've seen before either, I bought a big load of nos at a estate auction last year and this was in there, only c-body that he had (that I'm aware of) was a 68 Newport.
I think the application is earlier than what we're generally familiar with - hence the light coloured wire wrap and a lack of plug in connectors. It looks like something one might see in a an engine bay, connected to a multi terminal buss bar or something. Just thinking out loud... The 2444 number may be a supersede from a 50s part number. Perhaps a recall retrofit??
Could be, I don't know if he worked in a dealership or not, but he had some odd ball parts that one just doesn't accumulate . I bought a box of nos fuel pumps, with everything from slant 6 pumps to a nos hemi pump .
My guess is that it is not for a car at all. The large gauge wires & ring terminals indicate it’s designed to carry some juice. My thoughts are along the lines of a truck or commercial vehicle of some sort, something with motors or servos that require some amps. Maybe an accessory such as a liftgate, scratching my head as to what it might be. Parts books for such vehicles are not near as common as car books.
numbers that start with 24 are generally 1963-64 and maybe 1965 I looked thru my car part books 1963-66 and truck 1961-68 and this number does not appear there it could be a number that supersedes another # also
[QUOTE="...it could be a number that supersedes another # also[/QUOTE] I tried to look up a supersede database, with no luck. How does one check supersedes backwards Marty?
I got quite a bit, around 100 pieces or so. The best thing I got was there was a box of about 8 nos fuel pumps, they were selling box lots by that point, I got the box for $5, not knowing what was in there mind you, I got home from the auction and just stuck everything in the garage. A couple of months went by, I decided to look though the box, most were used replacement's just put back in the original boxes, one new slant 6 pump, and of all things a nos hemi fuel pump, dated 1970. Needless to say to paid for everything plus some. The bad thing is I still haven't went through everything. Lol
OK here is how you find out what has happened to part #s I've got these books from the early 1950s up to the 1990s. Also have them in microfiche form too. I looked it up in a 1970 and 1980 book. Nothing! I've got older books but they are buried. NS1, 2 3 etc. means cancelled/discontinued or at the dealership they would say "no fucking good". U after a # means it supersedes to or by that other #
Cool - those books must be useful at times. I was hoping for that kind of database in a virtual form of some sort. That being said, I am starting to agree with the idea that the harness is not in the passenger vehicle line, but other. Could be Chrysler Marine - there seems to be a large gap in the numbers from 2440 xxx to 2444 xxx.
Hell knowing Chrysler the part could be for a steam driven paddlewheel, the turbine car or the 1964 Imperial Limo built for the secret service....
