I have a '69 GS and need a member to fill me in on the most popular wire harness for my car. (bumper to bumper) I have a generic one. Can't remember the name. Not a popular brand like painless. Thanks alot!!
Unless you're into a lot of custom wiring and tearing bits and pieces out of your old harness, you wouldn't want a Painless. Go with one of the complete kits like M&H sells. I bought the Painless 18 circuit musclecar harness. What I didn't realize is that it doesn't come with all of the wiring or connectors. A perfect example is the windshield wiper/washer motor. Painless gives you the hot lead, period. I had to cut out the rest of the 4 wires from the old harness and reuse it with the old connectors. Don't get me wrong, it's a good kit in some cases. I switched to a one wire alternator, complete MSD, remote starter solenoid, aftermarket gauges and a Vintage Air wil be going in soon. So it was dumb to buy a nice 100% correct harness and then cut it up to put the upgrades in. The Buick service manual was worth it's weight in gold. I spent a lot of time tracing wires to figure out what powered what! I will buy another Painless when I start on the racecar, lots less to wire :laugh:
"Facotory Fit" out of New Jersey sells nice original type harnesses. They are sold in pieces as original. Very expesive to replace all parts of a car especially under dash harness. Over $400 just for that part.
www.wiringharness.com ( M & H makes their harnesses from original factory blueprints) www.Lectriclimited.com Year One did sale M & H. I think they have a 15% discount going.
