Re: Best wiring solution 70 Blazer

I do like the ideas of not having to worry about will it work, my issue comes down to cost, seeing as my build is really a budget build (only being funded by stuff I already own that i sell.) I am really trying to figure out the best bang for my buck.

Obviously the cheapest route is to try and re-use the original harnesses all together. This is attractive cost wise, but increases time to finish. At the same time, if I could re-wire the whole thing, it would be better in the long run as I would not have to worry about anything.

I am currently looking to keep some old and some new as my best option. I would probably be replacing my engine, headlight and tail light harnesses, and keeping the dash harness.

Even with this solution, this brings up another question. The cost of doing just those three will put me near the $350-400 mark. In that same price range is the complete kit from Painless Wiring, which includes the dash stuff.

Just trying to figure out all my options. I have a second hacked up engine and headlight harness, and I believe a second tail light harness as well that I can look into. I also need to dee if my dash harness was hacked up at all still to make sure it can still be used.\

Thanks for all the help so far.
