Don't go thinking this will be a plug and play.....check each circuit BEFORE it is installed. I recommend doing that with any of the three makers of harnesses.

After you pull the old harness out , lay it out next to the new one and compare, wire for wire.
If the same you are good to go.

Also make doubly sure of continuity and that each male or female terminal is fully seated into their plastic connector.

Since you are going to have to pull the gas tank cover, now is a very good time to make a 10 ga ground wire from the fuel sender unit to the frame, if you haven't already done so.

Since you will need to pull up the carpet and carpet support on the drivers side, now is also a good time to lay in 4 or 5 pairs of say 14 ga wire that reach from the center of the dash to about the rear of the trunk. Coil up the wire where you won't see it. If you ever plan on adding any power this or thats to your car. I am using one of my wire pairs to add an electric trunk release later this spring.

You can get a new carpet support to replace your rusted out one from any of the usual vendors

I redid my '66 with M&H harnesses, and have no complaints at all. High quality, correct wire colors, nice connectors, etc.
