Re: AD wiring
Did it come with long wires for the lights?

Re: AD wiring
Did you like the harness you bought? What brand? I'm hoping I'll have a little money left over after Christmas and maybe I can start the wiring soon. I think I may have my steering linkage figured out... so on to a new section.
Big question I got. How many circuits do I need? I mean I see 8,10,12,14,21 circuit kits...extra just means stuff I gotta throw out and waste money on. Headlights count as two? Brakes, turn signals... that one or two? Some light is one, heater, radio, ac, distributor... I have an electric choke.. that count?, mechanical fuel pump...umm does each gauge count as one?

Re: AD wiring
I've wired a bunch of vehicles.
Painless is the luxury model wiring harness, and cost like it too. Wires are smaller diameter but have greater conductivity (they claim) - very convenient for routing. All wires are longer than necessary; you will never have to extend wires on a Painless harness. Be careful of the super inexpensive harnesses on Ebay; I've gotten them that have no secondary wiring, headlight connectors, etc. The EZ Wiring kits are excellent and complete. Some of the wires may have to be extended depending on where you locate your fuse block. They're a good compromise. The Speedway kits are identical to EZ - probably are manufactured by them. |

Re: AD wiring
I got my wiring harness cheep and as I was getting ready to start the install I found why.I wired a friends of mine truck last summer (a 67 Ford on 2006 crown vic frame) he bought the Ron Francis harness,it was nice.I figured since I did not have a lot of wires I did not need to spend that much on harness.The wires were plenty long.Well there were hardly any instrucions and just a couple drawings that grade school kids had drawn.I emailed amazon and they gave me the vendors email,so I mailed them,I told them the problem,they were no help.After going back and forth they refunded half the money.That still did not help me out,wires had labels where they went,but unlike the Ron Francis that were labeled every 4-6 inches these were labeled in just one place,and I had to search for it.I did end up getting the Ron Francis diapharm from my friend and am now able to figure it out.I will get it done for cheep but a harness from Ron Francis or painless,would have been a lot nicer and easyer
