I did the painless system on my 67. It was ok, but I am in electronics. The painless system uses the same color codes as the original harness and many features of the new micro-fuse blocks in current production cars and trucks.
It comes down to a few questions like Brad said. What do you want such as 14 circuits? Do you think you can pigtail and splice the harness back in? I was doing mine one evening and a skunk scampered by the garage door. We had a few tense moments. mike --- On Thu, 7/10/08, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] 66 rewired > To: chevelle-list@chevelles.net > Date: Thursday, July 10, 2008, 9:29 AM > I haven't completely rewired my car....but I've done > a fair share of work on it.
