I did a lot of reading/searches on this topic the passed few weeks. I came to the conclusion that AAWire was the way to go.

out of curiosity..do these 'universal' kits come with plugs or pigtails that connect to all the accessories in the truck? like the ignition plug, gauge plug, headlight switch, wiper switch, etc. or do you have to reuse the ones you currently have(which seems kinda useless to have to use old connecters). I know some kits come pre terminated, others are more bulk. just curious what others are doing when it comes to the connecters.

I used the painless 18 curcuit on my truck but i wish i had not. It has extra wires for everything which is nice but i dont have any of that stuff so now i just have a bunch of unused wires. The harness was not bad i just didnt get the right one for my use.

Ive used ez wire twice and painless once. Currently have a new ez wire that will go in the 68 when Im ready.

I think they are all good----and fairly easy to use----ez wire is cheaper and the quality is as good.

that is where AAW classic Update shines. No reusing any of you 40 year old connectors or bulb receptacles. All new and included with AAW harness including factory guage connection or Autometer. Wiper switch not included but headlight, dimmer, and ignition (except in column applications) are.

this is information i am unaware of ez, hotrod, painless all require using for example my existing last 2 inches of every wire connection, bulb socket, ect. their porduct just ends as a cut wire and leave it to me to figure out the rest ie. crimp connector, twist nut, solder, or a potato to complete the new wire to my existing end points

And to understand yall correctly you are saying AAW includes new ones with their kit?? in addition they throw in a headlight and ignition switch as well?

I'd also go with American Auto Wire their wiring is superior to all the rest they use haevy duty wire and connectors plus you can buy direct from them and cut out the middle man.

I used their harness to repair the A/C harness and you can see the difference in quality.

AAW sounds so complete, neat and easy. I see you're local. Are you doing the install yourself or having someone do it?
