My 87 GL is doing that hesitation-skip thing after driving at a constant
speed for several hours.  I can stop, let it sit for a few minutes, start
back up and go about 40 or 50 miles on the interstate before it does it
again.  This issue had been addressed in a VW technical bulletin and they
recommend using a harness with a chip in it (part # 025.906.302A.  I'm
interested in purchasing a used harness if anyone has one, or would like to
know if there are cheaper remedies out there.

FWIW, the AFM harness is an active device, whereas the Capacitor Fix is
passive.
See the below web page for a pictures of the inside a VW factory AFM
harness.  I'd try the capacitor fix first, you've got nothing to lose.
