Default Anyone have experience with Howell Engine Hranesses?

Hey,

Has anyone used one of these?
http://www.howellefi.com/shop/custom...cat=253&page=2

My harness took a hit in a oil fire and I'd like to replace it since I have the engine out. A new one from GM is out of my price range right now. And so far no one has a used one for a manual 2000 coupe right now.

It looks ok in the photo, but was wondering if anyone actually used one or know anything about the company.

Thanks,
Matt

I used a Painless harness when I did my GTO ('69) a few years back, nice piece. Here's the link for the LS1:

The only thing that concerns me about the painless is that it does not come with a loom? Is that right?

Painless's manual looks great, and it appears to be carried by many big vendors. So, I just bought one from a form sponsor SDPC! I should be wiring up next week!

Thanks MagRedConv

Glad I could assist. Document the install, it would probably make for a good thread.
