I have a '91 S13 and have aquired a pre-converted harness from a running CA out of a '90. I know that going DOHC in a SOHC car is a b**** due to harness differences, but is the same true with CA's?

I'm glad I got a harness for fairly cheap since the ECU plug on my other one is super scarred and broken into like four pieces.

Thanks for the help in advance gents.

so you have a CA harness that was from a CA that was in a 1990? It should just connect to the two plugs behind the battery and you're good to go...

Yeah. The Ca was in a 1990 in California. Just happened to come across the harness. It's in great shape with a factory dropping resistor for $100. Figured that wasn't too bad considering the harnesses are getting harder and harder to find.
