Dash wiring harness

I need to replace the dash wiring harness for my '68. Whom manufactures the best harness?
Thanks,
Dan

Painless wiring makes a lot of reproduction stuff. Try them.
I'll eventually get to that point in my re-build too.

I wound up buying mine from The Last Detail in Atlanta Ga and it was a Lectric Limited and works great. As a matter of fact I should go ahead and purchase the engine harness and replace it while I have the LS swap going on right now.

Either M&H Electrical Fabricators or Lectric Limited make harnesses close to original.

I just replaced all 4 wire looms in my 68 with Lectric Limted, they get a two thumbs up.

Unless you are going full custom-no wiper door, no fiberoptics I would not use a Painless harness underdash in a Corvette. Nothing against Painless, it's just that a bumper C3 has a lot of special wiring and IMHO you are way ahead to buy a correct harness. I add another plug for 'Lectric Limited through Last Detail.

Looks like it will be between Lectric Limited or M & H Electric Fabricators. Painless looks to be too generic.
Thank you all for your help. Now which one is the better harness?
Eddie70- I thinking the same, but most of the engine harness will be the F-body harness.
I have to make some decisions.
