I am going to buy a complete new harness and rewire the 69 sometime this summer. Who makes a good harness and who sells it?

Do you have problems with what you have now... Just wondering .. I'm stripping down a 69 and all electrcal works great even the cig lighter. Is there a advantage if there is nothing going wrong?

It has issues. I am rewiring mainly to get rid of all the rigging that was done in the past. When i bought the car somw wires behind the dash had tags that said pull to kill engine. The brake lights are blowing the fuse...again. I fixed everything the best I could, but the PO had stuff going through the wrong fuses on the fuse board. To me it is easier to start fresh than fix someone elses mess.

The 69 I have , to the best that I can see , has never had a PO trash it. You are welcome to compare mine to yours if you still have some issues. I live near Klein High School.. on Louetta. I had similar issues when my son had a 74 standard and it is a real pain!!
