Default Wiring Harness Kits

My mechanic was talking to me about a new company (to him) that he met out at the SEMA show called American Autowire (www.americanautowire.com)

He was saying they have a way to adapt their 67-68 wiring harness for the 69 and it seems easier and had more options than the Painless wiring harness.

My question is looking at the kit (have to search a bit) it costs $699.00 for the harness.

Last time I looked Painless had a universal one that would fit my 69 for around $500.00.

To me this makes more sense with a $200.00 savings.

Does anyone know more about or have dealt with the American Autowire kit? Is it really as nice as it seems?


Thanks in advance for your help and advice.

This fellow Mike used one to rewire his heavily optioned 69 restomod. Poke around on his site there is much you can learn, his work is exceptional to say the least.

I just picked up a Ron Francis Retro kit made for early fords and it looks great. and was only $269.. It came with just about everything needed. It does not use the same firewall connections though so it is pretty much just like the universal painless kit. But they provided the two extra light pigtails for my high beams and the proper steering column pigtail.. I read through the instalation writeup and it seems easy as hell..
