Wiring harness
Me and a few friends of mine is going to restore a 1971 Chevy C20. All of the wiring under the hood is hacked. Where can we find an engine bay harness that is plug and play? It's a 2wd auto with a 350 engine

Re: Wiring harness
Hey Tye considering the whole harness is over forty years old I would suggest a complete new harness. I've had good luck with the American Autowire harness. Do a search for it , there are several vendors that carry it. Good luck with your project.

Re: Wiring harness
Agreed. Currently in the process of putting in a complete harness, fairly easy. Would have only taken me a day, but I can only find about an hour a day to actually get to the garage.
Simple and new, can't go wrong. |

Re: Wiring harness
Thanks. We plan to replace the whole harness, but at the moment he needs to be able to drive it as we collect a few parts. Keep having electrical problems due to shorts and hacked up splices! The overflow for the radiator is a plastic jug with a hole cut in it for the hose!

Re: Wiring harness
'Lectric Limited makes great harness. They can customize with later alternators and HEI too so it is a good time to think about future mods to avoid hacking a new harness.

Re: Wiring harness
I have a small part time business doing mainly wiring harness replacements/upgrades on classic cars and trucks and I use American Autowire exclusively. They cost a little more, but all the little extras like correct connectors, exact terminal replication, and ease of installation are more than worth it. Not to mention, they have great customer service!
