Re: Wire harness opinions requested

[Mike Phelps <mikeph@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rich, Evans doesn't have dash harnesses. He just doesn't make them, I've called and spoken with them. I got the EZwire kit and although I haven't completely installed it yet it looks pretty straight forward. The only thing so far that I changed was the method of passing through the firewall. The kit called for an inch and a half hole through a piece of sheet metal fashioned to cover the bulkhead connector hole. A grommet is provided then the whole bundle of engine and front end wiring would pass through it. I didn't like the sound of that so I took my old bulkhead connector, removed the wiring then drilled the individual holes just large enough for each wire to go through. I cleaned and painted the connector and popped it back in place and it looks stock. I'm in the process of routing the wires through the engine bay now. Next will come the rear section.
