Installing an American Autowire Classic update wiring harness

I hope you didn’t take my questions offensive, I was genuinely curious.

I have the AA highway 15 Universal that says it can wire the entire car and at times I think I am crazy to toss it to the side but I worry about actually being able to install it and things working properly. (I’m not the brightest bulb when it comes to this fixing old cars).

No offense taken! I was just attempting some humor, there’s very little that’s stock on my car.

The AA harness I installed was specifically for A-bodies, although it covered the whole year range so there were quite a few year based options/variations included.

I hadn’t done a full rewire like this before, I’m definitely not sn electrical whiz either. But the AA harness and instructions make it very easy. Obviously with a more generic kit I would imagine there’d be more work and less specific instructions. But it’s a great kit, and I wouldn’t use a stock replacement harness on any car that also wasn’t stock as far as electronics go. Trying to wire all those aftermarket components into the original harness is a mess, and more difficult than installing the complete AA harness.
