Default Wiring Harness Recomendations

I finally got my car back from the painter, looks great. So now it's time to think about the wiring harness. The original harness has some rat chew under the dash, I figure since the dash is out, it's a good time to replace the harness. Who did you buy yours from, and would you buy from them again?

Thanks.

This one is easy. Lectric Limited harnesses from Willcox. You won’t do better for harnesses and with the forum discount, you won’t do better than Willcox.

The wire harness's are 20 off until Sunday... use the willcox20 code... it is the only harness I'll use in my shop... they fit and in over 30 years of buying their product I've had one mistake... not a bad track record.

If you have any issue finding what you need, email me at service@willcoxcorvette.com I think you'll find everything for your car at this link though... https://willcoxcorvette.com/catalogs...c_part_year=21

For Lectric Limited.. I used them on my 69- fit was perfect, all the colors are correct GM along with all the connectors. I would suggest that when you get them in hand, unroll and hang by one end and work all the kinks and bends out. Then when you lay them in the car, you can easily adjust where the bends are without having to fight with the bends not being where they need to be.
And hang on to the old harness- guys are needing connectors all the time and there is no availability. I've helped several guys out that needed an odd connector or two.

I agree. The fix perfectly on my 65 and 72. Willcox is great to deal with.

I went a much different route and picked a harness from AAW, it's their universal ones. Much cheaper, newer fuses, more circuits, and not much more work than a pre-made harness.
