Engine Wiring Options

[robber grin]

Is anyone aware of a source for engine harnesses that are set up for these trucks after the V8 swap?

For instance my 1962 Chevrolet C10 was a 6 cylinder truck with lights not gauges.

I left the stock instrument cluster in place with the lights and so far have not added any gauges. I may add some later.

The truck is now a 283 V8 with Pertronix conversion and newer CS style internally regulated alternator upgrade.

It had no engine bay wiring when I purchased it several years ago.

My truck is all factory 62 C10 under the dash, but I wired in the neutral safety switch and back up lights when I wired the van tilt.

So I'm looking for the most effective way to wire my engine - firewall plug forward given these considerations.

Thank you in advance and have a blessed day.

American Autowire has some great harnesses. I used all of their wiring when I converted from warning lights to gauges and the HEI. Very easy to use and just plug and play. They also will make custom harness's for our applications.

I had a passenger side alternator on my big block and they lengthened a harness for me to work. Great guys!!!

what harness did you end up ordering? I'm in the same boat, I6 to V8 swap and would love to replace just the engine harness using the original firewall plug. It seems like the only difference would be the wire lengths to get the to components, right?
Thanks
