Wiring Harness question
Is there any difference between a big block wiring harness and a 350 wiring harness? I'm speaking of both the underdash and the engine bay harnesses.

Under dash should be the same, it only changes with gauges or idiot lights and not engine type. Under hood stuff may be different for BB/SB...

Cool - I'm changing from idiot lights to gauges so that's works out. I'm hoping the engine harness is the same as well.

I bet you can make the eng harness work even if it is different, my old SB truck was originally a 292 and everything worked ok.
Even if your harness is beat up, the replacement and upgrade (HEI and internal regulator alt) harness are pretty cheap. I got both underhood harnesses from GMCPauls for around $250. That's cheap insurance to not have a short and possible fire.

I bought my engine harness from MotherTruckers and got the HEI upgrade with it. He's the least expensive I found, and the harness fit like a glove and looks great. I don't think there is any difference between SBC & BBC engine or dash harnesses. There is a difference between an auto or manual trans engine harness though. Mine was a manual and when I ordered the harness, was asked if it was a manual or auto trans.

Does anybody know where to get the terminals themselves? (The ones inside the firewall plugs?) About 13 years ago I built a 66 Dart, and it used the same terminals. I searched everywhere and finally found them at a local parts shop. That shop went of out business several years ago :/
I've drawn up a new pinout for completely new underhood harnesses. Buying them is so damn expensive, you're only getting about $20 worth of parts for $200+ ... I just can't do it :P My new harness integrates a pair of relays for the headlights, a rad fan relay, hei, internal regulated alt, and a remote starter solenoid. I'm ready to get it made but..I need those damn terminals! |
