I used the american autowire in my build, great quality and service, much better than the painless imo.

Board member Wes, at Classic Heartbeat, got me the M&H harnesses and beat the prices that M&H has posted on their website. Give him a shout.

I called and spoke with them since they did not list a kit on the site. The guy was not helpful and told me I just need to price each specific harness off the site and it supposedly cost $800 plus. Since he didn't want to help I didn't persue it any further.

??? Wes, who is the owner, is probably the most knowledgable and helpful guy on this site. Please dont judge him on one call.
Btw, I got my AAW Classic Update kit from him, its great. Plenty of extra circuits for whatever, as well.

I did not call Wes I called M & H. I have nothing bad to say about Wes.

Didn't see it mentioned above but I really like the Ron Francis harnesses.

Where the fuse panel passes through the firewall the fuse panel is too large. You have to enlarge that hole for the painless harness. I don't have any personal experience with Ron Francis wiring, but I have a customer with a 74 that paid a shop 1500.00 to install one. I told him he could have installed M&H he could have done himself. WES

I just got my M+H from Wess last week and it was a perfect match and fit.

**truckdude239** · 06-08-2014, 11:26 AM

I used American auto wire classic update perfect fit

TacBlade · 06-08-2014, 12:59 PM

When you intall these kits, do you begin by pulling all the old wiring out completely or do you run one of the new wires and then pull out the old wire one at a time?

**truckdude239** · 06-08-2014, 01:05 PM

Pull all old stuff out

**nlped** · 06-08-2014, 01:49 PM

I'm using a painless harness on both of mine. I've used the P/W on 2 other previous projects and other than a few plugs I had to overcome & fabricate...they went very smoothly and I had plenty of extra switched & unswitched circuits. 1 has been going strong for 15+ yrs.
