Anyone using Year One wiring harnesses?

-
I just replaced the entire dash harness in my 69 Dart last spring using the Year One harness and it actually went in great. The only catch was I had to buy a couple of the accessory harnesses as well (like heater). I also replaced the underhood and forward light harnesses, but I used Evans Wiring for that.

Good to know. My light harness is bad and my engine harness isn't much better. The dash harness is not too bad but the seat belt circuit ( I think?) has been cut out and the map/glove box lights appear to have been cut.
 
Buy from year one but wait for the 30% off code and save a bunch of money. That is what I did and don’t regret it plug and play.
 
in my opinion year one is way overpriced-but that's for my money-can't speak for anyone else. As far as the corrugated wire covering, I use it for the firewall back to the tailights because it is an excellent protector for rubbing etc. but I also wrap those wires in the friction electrical tape while putting a small "ring" of electrical tape about every two feet before I put the corrugated wire covering over it. Under the hood I do the same but instead of using the corrugated stuff, I use a "slicker"/more cloth like covering - I'm not sure what it's called but..in my opinion looks better than the corrugated stuff. It's a split loom also...you guys know the stuff. IF you like plug and play go with year one. My thought is this. Unless you need as perfectly close to authentic as you can get (and I'm talking obsessive-which for certain vehicles is smart) many guys and gals are spending money they probably wouldn't if they were aware of just how little difference in skill level it would require to put in a universal harness. That's the middle road. Then you got those who make their own because they enjoy it (and have the time) and want to save money. But it must be done right too-different colored wires, correct crimpers, connectors, etc.
 
Don,t get offended.

We all have different tastes. Care to show the finished product from the pic last night?

No headlight wires no charging wires no ignition wires just spark plug wires. Everything is hidden...
I'm absolutely not suggesting everybody should do that by a long shot. But being able to tackle this simple bit of wiring shouldn't be the job of a rocket scientist.

Looks great. Any pics of what appeared to be dash type stuff you posted?

I think the battery cable and the alternator wire are pretty obvious going into the truck but most other stuff I still left the labels on if I can't just simply trace it back to where it went. It is kind of half stock half costume. I just ran out a few minutes ago and took these pictures so I don't really see how they're going to help anybody as they're just an example of that it can be done at home nicely. Fyi it's still spaghetti LOL
