Buying wiring harness, need opinions.

Who makes the best wiring harness. Painless, EZ Wire, Etc? By best I mean highest quality, most complete, and least complicated. Was going to go with Painless, but i've heard there are others that are just as good or better. Thanks guys.

Re: Buying wiring harness, need opinions.

I was going to go Painless when I did mine but have decided my current wiring is fine for now. I have my brand new Painless harness for sale in the classifieds section if you decide to go for the Painless harness. Here is the link: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=341883

Re: Buying wiring harness, need opinions.

I went with GMC Paul and bought M&H Fabricators wiring harnesses. He was able to cut me a better price after they had raised their prices. Check out www.wiringharness.com for their listing of harnesses. They are good, with all color codes and connectors per the original factory specs. They also have modified harnesses (1-wire alternator; HEI, etc.) These harnesses are also sold by Early Classic Enterprises.

I went with Painless, no issues easy install and everything worked the first time.

American Autowire is the best, most complete, superb instructions, truly vehicle specific, excellent tech support, and we have them available under $500

I don't need one now, but I'll certainly store that in the ol' "mem'ry banks."
Thanks!

Re: Buying wiring harness, need opinions.

I have an M&H engine loom to install, modified for HEI and it looks top quality, all the pludgs and connectors are the same as the original harness as are the colours. Got mine for Wes at Classic Heartbeat. I think I need an underdash harness next as its pretty crusty under there and I would go for the same manufacturer no question.
