Wiring kit
What is everyone’s favorite wiring kit currently? Painless, Ron Francis, American autowire or something else? I have a 1976 k1500 all stock V8 4 speed and no AC but one day I might upgrade to a Holley sniper fuel injection kit. Most likely I will do Dakota digital gauges along with the wiring. I would like to have the fuse block in the factory location.
I have rewired vehicles before and I would say I have a solid understanding of vehicle wiring and I have all the necessary skills and tools to do the job. Posted via Mobile Device |

I got the kit I needed (classic update kit) on ebay for a good price. |
Re: Wiring kit
I am definitely leaning toward the American auto wire. Not the cheapest but looks very complete and high quality. What is the crimping tool and where is it used?

Did you rewire everything? If not, what did you as you said that the Vintage Air etc didn't need wiring into the AAW kit. Also (my real question) How long do you estimate it that it has taken you? Thanks for the help! |

As for how long, it's tough to say. Once you get the hang of doing the crimps for the various connections, you can cruise right along. If I was doing a factory harness replacement it might actually be easier, no improvising. The instructions are quite good. |

AAW was a pleasure to install. And their tech support is top notch.

Re: Wiring kit
Another vote for AAW. I’ve done three squarebodies with their kits now...no complaints at all.
I’ve also used M&H in the past and if you are looking for a restoration quality harness they are the go-to; however it will cost you (probably double an AAW kit), and since they are built to order it does take a few months to get. |
Re: Wiring kit
I installed a Painless universal kit and it was not a walk in the park but it was doable. Not sure I would use it again but it all turned out ok. Any universal kit you buy will give you some challenges not sure on a AAW kit set up for a c-10. Assume it would be easier. Good Luck
