Re: ez wiring?

Ive uesd them on hot rod builds. The last was on a 240z with a small block. only complaint was that the harness was set up to be on the driverside front and we wanted it in the rear of the car

Re: ez wiring?

Rebel wiring is really good too.

They are a small company. Very nice quality hand built harness with good instructions. Wires are labled every 6 inches also. The price is great too.

When you call the tech line you talk to the actual guy who built the harness.

People on the HAMB rave about Rebel wiring

http://www.rebel-wire.com/

I orderd there 9+3 kit and gauge harness

Re: ez wiring?

I just finished insttalling an ez wiring kit into 62 chevy, the only part that you actually had to sit and scratch your head about is the headlight switch (try to go with a newr light switch if you can like a 66 to 72) and if your hooking up the original guages, youll be having to splice into the original harness for the dash lights etc. The ammeter will require you route your own wires to the alt and I think the battery. And thats about it, routing is a pain but thats with all wiring harnesses I would think

Re: ez wiring?

very simple to install and it works great i have no complaints
just be sure all of you lights are getting a good ground
i messed with mine for hours trying to figure why the taillights wouldnt work
when i was pulling the light out it came so i knew it was a ground
i think i have the 12 circut i paid 165 for it

Re: ez wiring?

Them only thing I will add to make my truck slightly different are new headlights and Better Relays. The lights will be brighter. Here are several links to the information.

Re: ez wiring?

Ok I have to ask. Why is Painless 400+, but a rebel and Ez Wiring half?

Name brand or am I missing something here?

Re: ez wiring?

well im convinced... and the price speaks very louldy ... spending money on something that doesnt make the truck look better or faster is not painless... so we will not go with painless

Re: ez wiring?

my kit came with the alternator harness, alternator bypass kit, some crimp on connectors, wire ties and headlight harness connectors and a few other things I believe, but I cant think of any at the moment, you ll need to buy your own wire loom, electrical tape, solder and shrink tubing, oh it came with a fusable link also

Re: ez wiring?

I bought a painless harness, only because I haven't heard of the other companys out. I didn't research it much either. But I have to say that the harness is really well put together. It was for the 60-66 truck. I haven't had any problems with it. But you are going to pay for the name of it. I have heard a lot of good things about EZ and Rebel since I've got more into my truck. I would have probably gone with a diffrent company if I really researched it first. just my 2cents
