I just got my kit in the mail. Great looking kit with what is obviously a lot of attention to detail and quality parts. Also, the most comprehensive installation instructions I've ever seen! Thanks for a great job, Rob!
Mine is in the mail. Sorry about the confusion rob. I don't use paypal often. Thanks for the speedy service. Hope to do the install this weekend. I'll try to post some good pics when it's done. May put a new set of headlights in also. Don't know how long mine have been on the car or what brand they are. Do you still recommend those GE nighthawk headlamps?
Crackedback will your kit work with a ron francis wiring kit?
I didn't buy a kit from crackedback (yet), I opted for SlantSixDan's kit (doesn't include wiring, hence cheaper). However, I wished I went with the cracked kit for this reason alone:
Driving to NAPA, buying the wire, cutting it a little short for the high beam run, having to go BACK to NAPA, buy more wire, oh forgot more crimps, oh look Seafoam is on sale, etc., etc., etc.
It's the time investment that people seem to quickly forget about (myself included). Having ALL the material on-hand to complete this as a first-time A-body relay-installer means I will spend less time monkeying around selecting the right wire size, ensuring I have enough crimp connectors, etc. and have more time to do other things. Sure, the double NAPA trips were the fault of mine, but it's not something I would have foreseen as I'm just not an electrical guru. Those packs of NAPA 12 gauge wiring look like they'll run all the way to the moon, till you start running a couple feed lines to low and high beam bulbs. It eats up wiring fast.
BTW, Dan's kit was great, top quality components. I don't want people to think it wasn't up to snuff. Crackedback includes wire, Dan doesn't.
Luckily, I have 3 other Mopars that will need this upgrade including a 4 headlight C-body, so expect me as a customer someday soon.
