Vernon,
That price is for the dash harness only I am sure. What you haven't found out
yet is that you will need several additional harnesses from them that total
around $800. There are other companies such as American Autowire/Factory
Fit that make "original" style harnesses that could probably work when
entering your car into a judging affair that judged on originality. Their
price is very similar to M&H in my opinion. Both are very high quality
from what I have heard.
There are also some "generic" style wiring harnesses that may not be as
complete, or may require you to do some work in putting on connectors, I'm
researching this now. These types of harnesses are very high quality wire, but
it isn't even close to original and forget entering into any contests for
originality. These types of companies sell a BUNCH of harnesses to the Hot Rod crowd that are
wiring up cars where they start with a pile of half rusty old sheet metal (or
new fiberglass) and make a car from a bunch of individual parts, mixing old
and new sometimes.
The
two favorites I have so far on this second category are EZ Wire, and Centech.
I am sure you will find their ads in magazines. They are now making special
harnesses that are for muscle cars. Still, I doubt originality is anywhere
close, but that don't mean quality is not there. I hear very good stuff from
the guys that put them in. Prices are just under $200 for EZ wire http://www.ezwiring.com/new_page_1.htm and
$269 for Centech. http://www.centechwire.com/catalog/muscle/gv18.shtml

I need a new dash harness for my 64 el camino.
What are some good places to get one ? I guess I need one as
today when I'd turn on the left turn signal the radio would quit for about 5
seconds and then come back on just fine. Maybe it's haunted. LOL It's
really the fuse block as its just about rusted away in places. I found
one for 350.00 dollars at a place called M&H Electric Fabricators, Inc.
Anyone ever here of these guys? Thanks ,
Vernon
