Vernon,
I need to caution you that I haven't fully researched the
quality of this company's product yet, and it's very important what
guage the wires are, and what type of insulation is used. I need to make
sure I am comparing apples to apples here.
There were actually several other companies at the NSRA Nats that I seen
with comparable prices, and at least at first glance, similar products.
EZ Wire is just the one that came to mind at the time.
I just found where GM themselves are selling a fairly complete but
"generic" harness for what I got a quote for $415 from my local dealer
today. I found it in the GM Performance parts book on page 164. The part
# on that is: 12355693
But the link to EZ wire .... and the harness that impressed
me...although the site is not the most informative...... Is:
http://www.ezwiring.com/new_page_1.htm
Some street rod friends bought generic 21 circuit harnesses from someone
else. I am trying to find out who now.
Steve
