Hi John.
If you check the corvette rags you will see 85 Mafs selling for
about 250$US. Apparently you can use the 86 89 also but I have not verified
this. They run about 199$ US in the rags. It is a bit more expensive
to convert to MAP unfortunately.

Get a service manuel and build it. Other than that find someone who can.
Cost should be compareable to a new harness.
