wiring

If you can afford it, go with a factory correct reproduction by M&H. It will be very expensive. HOWEVER, since you stated you know less than nothing about wiring, I am afraid you have very little chance to successfully rewire an entire car with a Painless kit. At least with an M&H kit, the wire colors, lengths, and connectors will all be perfect and match a good wiring diagram perfectly. I really don't want to disrespect you or your attempt to tackle such a difficult job. A complete rewire like this would be a painstaking job for someone who was fairly good with wiring. I am pretty good with wiring, and what you are attempting would be something I'd rather not do. I am afraid that a person at your level might have trouble following a diagram and altering it to fit a more universal kit. If you can afford it, you will not regret buying a factory correct harness.
