Hi Mike, When I got to the wiring on my Elky, I replaced every piece of the wire harness with new harnesses from M&H Wiring. While it wasn't cheap, it was fool proof and gave me confidence in the car's electrical reliability. On top of the new harnesses, I made some important improvements with parts and ideas from M.A.D. Enterprises...

However, I'm using a GM CS-130 alternator and so far it's been more than up to the task of powering my electrical needs. In my opinion, you're on the right track, get in touch with Mark at M.A.D. because he will provide you with more ideas and info than you'll probably need.

I had thought I would keep my original wiring and upgrade it with a kit deom MAD Enterprises because the early Chevrolets had a fairly large voltage drop from the Horn Relay to the dash switches. My car is a non SS car and I just want supportability. So, with that said, what has been your experience? Has anyone used the "Painless" replacement assemblies? Thanks in advance for your thoughts and help. Mike Fry Valley View, Texas. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
