Thread: Wire Harness: 57 Chevy - Which One?

Tweet

About 3-weeks ago I posted a New Member thread hoping to get some help on my first project. It has taken me that long to get my thoughts together so I can ask the right questions.

The following is a brief description of the project and what I want to do with it. Also, I have posted my first question. Hopefully, a few folks will be willing to respond.

Project: 57 Chevy Belaire HT. Being built as a driver, not show quality. Not stock. Expecting 350 FI system will be installed. Some flash: Flaming River Steering Column, Additional Electronics (I want no limitations in this area), Being in TX, Vintage Air is a requirement.

My first question: Multiple Wiring harnesses are out there. Which is the correct choice, or what should I look for in features, that will work the best in this case? Some seem to be built with additional electronics in mind, or am I misunderstanding?

Do I need to replace the harness? Will, some of it works some does not. In any case, the work I will do must be good. That includes a rewire in my opinion. Sooooo, I am doing this part only for the value of knowing that all is new in the wiring area. I hope that is a good reason to do this.

Could not help including a photo of the delivery. Originally a KY car. It is the first time the car sees the TX sunlight. An exciting day for me!

Thanks folks,

look at the # of circits avail. in the pannel
how are the wires terminated
make sure there lettered with disc.
if you know nothing use Wire Works
if you are not eletrically challanged us Painless or American Auto Wire
if you want the work and want your money in your pocket use EZ Wire

I've used the Painless kit, quite pleased with it. I believe they sell and EFI harness, also. Nice '57, by the way.

Thanks,

The harness I am looking at is the American Auto Wire set. Will ask about the questions you submitted.

Thanks again,
