Any difference aside size? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

...in the market to buy a full wiring harness. I'm going towards EZ wiring. Anyways, is there any difference in quality or function w/ the mini vs. regular size version, aside price and size?

Call me weird, but I went with M&H Fabricators harnesses....all intended to be the OEM replacement harness. They make some good stuff and it's all "plug and play".

What's the cost difference?

Can't say. I got my harnesses from Wes at Classic Heartbeat (on-site vendor). I had looked at a couple of different mfr's, but decided that having to adapt an aftermarket harness vs a direct replacement, wasn't anything I wanted to do.

On the other hand, if I was building a hot rod (like a T or an A), I would go with the EZWire or Ron Francis system.

Contact Wes and he can get you the pricing, or you can go to the website I listed in my earlier post and compare prices for yourself. Wes may be able to save you some money compared to the M&H price sheet. He did for me.

Unless you have custom gauges, no a/c or aftermarket, no heater, etc. I would buy a stock type harness. Just plug it in and be done. The custom ones are good for street rods and that type, but to me stock is much easier and less expensive by the time you buy stock connectors and solder all the terminals and do it right. You can butt-splice the old ones in, but is that really any better than what you already have? My .02

..my '67 does not have AC nor a heater. It's an auto, and I only plan to mount an aftermarket radio/subs under the dash so which would be best and plug and play. Also, should I go for the mini fuse with 12 circuits or 21?

ALSO, it has a '78 350 motor and a TH350.
