The 1981 Custom main-harness reference is 32100-461-770. Identify damaged wiring before choosing a complete loom or a short sub-harness. The ignition-coil connecting harness is a separate item; do not assume every branch lead comes with the main loom.
The original ignition is transistorized, with two coils serving cylinder pairs. Check the ignition supply, leads and connectors before condemning a coil or spark unit. For charging faults, test the battery, wiring and alternator before replacing the regulator.
A loom helps when its wiring or connectors are damaged. Loose battery cables, poor grounds, failing switches and faulty components can cause similar symptoms, so trace the affected circuit before replacing the whole harness.
Separate ignition from fuel or engine faults. Check for spark using the service procedure, then inspect the ignition power supply, coil connections, plug leads and plugs. A starter relay replacement will not by itself restore missing spark.
Check charging performance and wiring connections, then look for an unintended drain while parked. A new battery can temporarily mask a charging or wiring fault without correcting it.
