EZ Wiring Harness

[fordamericana]

I used a centech universal hot rod kit. It was a task, but worked well. I would like to try a Ron Francis kit, I like the way they look...

well..we almost have the harness done..there has been some small problems but my friend that is doing this
said it should be done in a couple more week ends. Sure hope so! Will let everyone know when its done.

jk anxiously awaiting the outcome. Thinking about replacing my wiring too. Keep us updated and thanks!

I was wondering what kind of EZ wire harness you used and how did the wiring work for the original switches?

[Junior Knight]

well..here is an update;
it has not been going well..the EZ harness is NOT ez...no,they did not send orig plugs or maybe I ordered the wrong one..but I don't think so. Anyway we wound up hard wiring everything one piece at a time after we got rid of the instructions..should be done next week. Won't be doin this again anytime soon!!

[sargentrs]

That's not encouraging.

I started it but soon I knew it was WAY over my head...so I got a friend of mine who workes at a ford house to do it...he may not be my friend anymore...

Not sure on this one...I knew going in that it was GM color coded. It was a bit of a trick to convert everything but the instructions had a fairly clear diagram of how to incorporate the Ford ignition system and switch which is really the most challenging part. I got mine in without very much trouble at all. Please don't take this the wrong way...I'm not boasting or criticizing! I just hope you can get it all buttoned up and be driving again real soon!

[Junior Knight]

no problem...we had a heck of a time..but it should be done this weekend..some people don't have trouble with it and some do...I sure did..but I'm not the brightest bulb in the pack as they say...lmao!!

looks like im going to get the 18 fuse 21 circuit on of my truck and start cutting and striping wires

[usmcjones1988]

Does anyone have a good idea of how to keep all the wires together when they run thru the frame it was original tape i feel sry for the guy who had to tape it all. I want to do something easier but not sure what?

[sargentrs]

If you haven't already terminated the ends, I'd get some heat shrink tubing. It'd probably be tedious threading the wire for that length but I know you can buy it on a roll. I never did care much for the plastic loom. I've also see wiring run through metal conduit.

[usmcjones1988]

how far apart do you think i should place them if i do all the wire thats going to be like 30 ft of heat shrink

[usmcjones1988]

on sec through im just going to do the whole thing its going to look alot better

[usmcjones1988]

O Boy just got my harness in the mail way it doesnt seem that hard so i think i might have it done by next week but i was wondering where does the fuse panel get the power from is it the alt or the ign?
