Re: American Auto Wire or Painless Wiring
I have used both several times. I like American Auto the best. It cost more more but seems like better quality parts. Paintless tech support sometimes get to be smart asses

I talked with Wes this morning and he told me there is a company called M&H wiring that has the exact wiring harness as AAW and they are on the West Coast. He said they actually used to be part of AAW. Anyway I think I am going to get the AAW harness because thats the same kind of harness I put in my Sons 64 Pickup and it went in without a glitch. Im going to ask a question Tom, Did you fly S-3's in the Navy? JRBECK64 |

Re: American Auto Wire or Painless Wiring
M&H have been in the reproduction wiring business for longer than anyone, M&H were around long before AAW I believe. I have personally used M&H in my Chevelle, a complete plug and play deal. I even got one of the very first new fuse box harnesses with the ATO style fuses, the harness also was set up for a long water pump (my car a 68 so it had a left side alt) accessories, an internal regulator alt, and an HEI. It all worked without one issue, well actually there was one issue that involved FedEx ground (dumba$$es) but M&H got a replacement harness shipped quickly.

Re: American Auto Wire or Painless Wiring
AAW's kit comes in a brief case size box. It really does come with everything you need. Even had a brand new ignition switch and set of keys.
It does sound like the other ones are top notch too. I definitely trust Wes when it comes to recommendations.

Re: American Auto Wire or Painless Wiring
have used both m&h and aaw. If you are looking for a custom harness these are not, but they are the best in quality, fit and finish period. If you are wanting a custom harness be prepared for the work involved, installed one painless harness for a friend and it was a joke. It involved crimping ends and wire that looked like auto parts rolls and the associated ends were of the same quality that you would find on any parts store shelf. I say stay away from any build your own.
