You dont need a harness for it but its a good idea. You could build one yourself with chunks of the ignition wire harness from a junkyard. Just make yourself a little "extension" cable and wire the timer into it.

If you do it this way its a LOT easier to troubleshoot when the gremlins come out to play.

does anybody know a company online that sells any? or what other cars use them that maybe our older leggys can use?

I have an HKS one that I never got around to installing & the wiring is super simple I think there are only 5 wires than need to be hooked up 2 of which are "+" & ground.

I have a GC8 harness as I was going to use this on my OBS-T, but the 5 wires I was talking about come straight out of the t-timer.

I found the instructions online - did not look like a big deal to hook up without an adapter harness.
