Does anyone know of a company that makes a wiring harness thats near to factory? I know painless and similiar make a universal, but I was thinking of something that has all the factory connectors and wont take a mechanical engineer to try and install. I have come up short on all the searches I have done, just thought I would bounce it off of everyone here.
Thanks,
Scott

Re: Wiring Harness
Since I'm a cheap a$$, I've had the best luck right here on FORDification's parts for sale or parts wanted classified section.
Yup, there are still some great, unmolested, Ford harnesses out there...you'd be amazed!
Sorry, no experience with after market stuff myself.

Re: Wiring Harness
Scott,
I agree 100% with Larry as I've seen more than one bump owner here start a painful or other aftermarket harness-only to wind up to never hear from again.

LIKE $1800. YES IT'S ALOT, BUT THEY DO MAKE ONE. I ALMOST GOT ONE FOR MY "73", JUST COULDN'T AFFORD THE PRICE TAG, SO REPAIRED MY OLD ONE. MORE HASSLE, LESS MONEY.
