After market wire harnesses

Hey, take no offense, the comment isn't directed at you. I just see this all the time. And I do mean all the time. A guy will spend ten grand on an engine, fifteen grand on a paint job, five Gs on wheels and then get hyper tight when it comes to the one thing that either will make all that stuff happily work for a long time opposed to turning it into constant yard art or an expensive BBQ.




Absolutely agree completely. The knowledge of the installer plays a huge part of it also. I'm not necessarily talking about wiring as much as good mechanical habits and reasoning.

There are differences in kits and companies. The quality of the wiring, the usability of the fuse panel, the adaptability and the support. I will say that American Autowire has some of the best instructions I've seen and there support has always been top notch. The Francis kits look very nice and Ron is an occasional contributor here. I haven't had a chance to use one of his kits in a very long time, so I can't comment beyond that.

I would strongly recommend getting a good multimeter and a test light. Check your circuits as you build your harness and avoid suprises down the road.


no offense taken. i was just saying that i am open to all suggestions. I am not made of money but i do make enough sacrifices to fund my project according to the standard i try to hold it to. I am a firm believer that you get out what you put in. I have a nice multi meter and just purchased a nice set of crimpers with several die sets (the set ABODYJOE posted). I think that since this is my first crack at wiring an entire car i will be on here asking for alot of help. I thank you guys for your suggestions and contributions.
