I have decided to replace my under dash wiring and the chassis wiring in my 66 coupe. I don't want to use the Pain-in-the*ss kit and wanted to hear some suggestions for best price, quality, fitment, ease of installation, etc. Links would help too. Thanks.

 

I'm on the same page, I was thinking one of those universal kits but, it might prove to be more of a challenge

 

The shop that did a bunch of work on my car recommended this one. He talked about some of the other ones but he said they liked these the best. This is a classic update series that adds circuits and allows you to run things like A/C, which I am installing in my car, which it did not come with. He said to stay away from universal kits as they can be a real nightmare trying to get things right. I'll post a link. Hope this helps. My car is a 66 so that is what this is for.

I agree with Waldo. I purchased the 67 kit and considering that I have never done any sort of electrical work before, it was so easy that it came out in the end with no problems what so ever. Only took me about 3 days total. Every wire has laser engraved lettering on it telling you what its for. It is almost impossible to screw up.

 

I am considering American Autowire as well.

For those who have installed it, are there any connectors that need to be changed or altered? Or is it completely "plug n play"? (I have a 67)

 

it's just the price though that's a real nightmare...I was even thinking of this

For me it was 95% plug and play, although some of the work I altered to suit my own cars needs (eliminated some of the wiring or used some for other purposes).

 

I have seen this one before. I was told by the local Mustang shop guy that the stock replacements are the easiest to install and the cheapest. I don't need the entire wiring harness. I've already replaced everything under the hood. I was just thinking of replacing the under dash portion and maybe the tail lights' wiring.

 

I agree. The OEM style replacements made by Alloy Metal are outstanding, easily the equal to original in fit, function, and ease of installation. I won't claim a complete lack of pain, since I manage to "donate" blood almost every time I do a big under-dash job.
