If the starter spins but fails to engage, the cause won't be the harness. For the starter to spin it has to have primary power and start signal. That is all any harness supplies. It rather sounds like the bendix in the starter is bad.
There is a difference in the the starters between 87 and later, but that difference is that the later starters have an unloader switch. Your car doesn't have the unloader circuity so it doesn't matter which starter you use.The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.
