Default Suggestions for a wiring kit

Not a great "electrician" and I struggled with a "painless wiring kit" in a 66 customer 10 pickup (until my teenage son rescued the project)
He's in college now and my 74 L82 is in need of a wiring overhaul.
Any suggestions for the easiest most direct replacement kit for the vette?

LectricLimited makes a good product. Most of the aftermarket providers carry LectricLimited.

I rewired my '73 from bumper to bumper. All the kits were from Lectric Limited, and now everything electrical works! These kits are available from Wilcox.

I also strongly suggest that you call Dr. Rebuild and buy both of the Oh-So-Ez pictorial wiring diagrams. They are about $20 each, but well worth it.

PM me if you would like some more details.

Both my 64 and 73 have LL harnesses, best around and hassel free, just find the best pricing with shipping and be sure they are LL harnesses.

Tech support from them is great when you need it and the harnesses are first rate.
I call them first for all my projects

All the harness' we carry are lectric limited brand.. and you'll catch them in the forum special price section on sale.. And If you use the sale code from our current sale thread you'll save even more!!!

You will not find wiring harness's any cheaper anywhere and the ship within 24 hours in most cases.

If you don't find the harness you need in there.. then go to this link... and you'll find the rest.

Bought the Lectric Limited harnesses for our 70LT-1 from Wilcox at a better price than I could have gotten by setting up a dealership account direct from Lectric Limited. Thanks Wilcox!

This is great news.
Wiring kits are usually the things that never fit properly.
Glad to hear someone has done it right.
