I'm needing some to go over and restore my wiring harness for my 74 Plymouth duster any recommendations or where can I get a good wiring harness I only need under dash harness with good fuse block
 
It maybe cheaper to get a harness from Year One, M&H. They are quality harness and good service to back them.
 
What's wrong with it? Is it hacked up? Consider restoring it yourself. Grab the factory wiring diagram, peel off all the old tape, sheathing and fix what's wrong. You just need an assortment of Packard 56 crimps and a crimper. If your bulkhead is bad, you can get a new one. Feel free to PM me if you need help. I have only done one but I am an Electrician by trade and I found it so easy.

Here is a picture of my harness repair. Pulling the dash made it easy. Rod

You'll find that whether its wire harness, fuel sender, tail lamp housing, whatever... the labor and materials in restoring will be as much or more than a new replacement part.

Agreed. $500-600 seems like a lot for a new harness BUT when you plug it all in and it works... and think of all the time you will have left over.
 
New dash harness from M&H comes complete as a base harness minus. M&H is the OEM supplier to Chrysler when these cars were new.

The harnesses i will NOT include will be

Light package sub harness with time delay relay
Heater box and or AC sub harness

The power feed wire and spade is there for your original cars heat and A/C sub harness to plug in. Ditto for the light package harness if your car is equipped. These harnesses will need to be cleaned and reused with the new dash harness.
 
Both year one and Classic have regular sales. It is pretty easy to get 20-30% off. If you buy the underhood harness too, then you have just about all new wiring.
 
Year one is typically 20% to 30% off period.

Classic pulls that "up to" 20% or 30% bullshit.

YearOne has 25% off salt thru this monday. Code to use is THROW
 
Safer and cheaper to buy new. Yearone bought the licensing rights from Chrysler to produce the wiring harnesses. They commissioned M&H to build them, best plug and play on the market. Yearone sells to Classic Industries. If you can wait, Yearone should have a 30% off sale coming up.
 
Pretty sure that Year One gets their harnesses from M&H since I bought several from a liquidator on ebay. It had both labels. Year One will add delays and probably a mark-up. Those were for later 1970's cars, so I ended up not using and flipped them for a nice profit (~$60 bought, $~260 sold I recall). People were fighting for it, probably because lead times are usually months when you order.

But, first check your harness closely. It gets very hot here but all my under-dash wires were fine other than hacks by gomers that I cleaned up. The vinyl wrap might just be dusty so try washing it first. I took all the vinyl wrap off to inspect and repair. For re-install, I bundled w/ nylon ties and covered w/ PVC sheath and split loom, but would also look slick w/ plastic mesh like used in high-tech stuff (expands like a Chinese finger puzzle).
