Fw: [Chevelle-list] 1966 Chevelle Wiring Harness

[Clint Hooper]

Easy there,Chuck. Rick was just bringing up the point that M&H builds oem-style harnesses with updated features for today's useage,also. Is your 70 Malibu completely original? I'm sure Gene can get you a harness that meets your particular needs.

I am not trying to be argumentative, but your reply I believe is an answer to something completely other than my question.  Chuck Speake 70 Chevelle Malibu Glen Ellyn, IL   -----Original Message----- From: Rick Schaefer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]     Someone mentioned it but to restate:  M&H will customize a stock wire harness if you make certain upgrades.  IE if you add an HEI, they will eliminate the starter to distributor wires & add a switched hot 12V circuit for the HEI.  Also if you convert to internal regulated alternator they will modify or eliminate the external regulator circuit & use the correct internal regulated alternator connector.   They modify the stock harness & make it easier to upgrade.

Also can you give me a web sight that I can review what wiring harness sets that M&H and yourself offer or have available?

He'll save me enough to pick up a set of patch panels for my fenders...   On the other hand, my boy wants to buy a generic harness for his 68 SS so he can save some money. Unfortunately, I will end up doing the work I'm sure.   Larry Shouse ----- Original Message ----- From: Herb Lumpp To: The Chevelle Mailing List Sent: Wednesday, August 24, 2005 6:32 AM Subject: RE: [Chevelle-list] 1966 Chevelle Wiring Harness   I too used M&H when I was putting my 66 back together about 5 or so years ago.  I replaced every wire from bumper to bumper; it cost about $800 at the time.  I haven't had a single wiring related problem since.  I did make a few changes though, such as a remote starter relay w/ a relocated main power distribution, headlight relays, and fan relays all from M.A.D.    Herb Lumpp http://users.adelphia.net/~hlump/index.htm -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Rick Schaefer Sent: Tuesday, August 23, 2005 8:06 PM To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] 1966 Chevelle Wiring Harness I think the difference is that M&H makes a factory replacement harness.  Wire coloring, lengths & ends are as GM made them back in the day.  Harnesses are plug & play.     Painless makes generic harnesses  and may not be color coded same as GM, you cut them to length & there are no or very few wire connectors on the ends.  A more do-it-yourself approach.    This is as I understood things a few years back when I was looking for a harness, may be different now.  Both companies produce quality items.   On 8/23/05, Chuck Speake < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: How about Painless [EMAIL PROTECTED] how does there products compare to M&H? -----Original Message----- From: The Hanks [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, August 16, 2005 11:54 PM To: 'The Chevelle Mailing List' Subject: RE: [Chevelle-list] 1966 Chevelle Wiring Harness I have to agree with Clint, I bought/ordered everything from M&H either thru the website or calling and talking to  Ken Petty at M&H [ [EMAIL PROTECTED]]                       All the harness were top of the line and everything fit together as designed, absolutely no problems..... They are sometimes out of stock and have to make them up, so if you use M&H, give some lead time.. I had to wait a couple of weeks to get the dash harness with gauges, but considering the quality it was worth the wait.. > www.wiringharness.com M&H Electric Fabricators, Inc. 13537 Alondra Blvd. Santa Fe Springs, CA 90670  >Phone: (562) 926-9552 >Fax: (562) 926-9572 David Hanks 1966 SS396 1974 Corvette ACES 6782 Team Chevelle 1940 Pilot Point , TX -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Clint Hooper Sent: Tuesday, August 16, 2005 7:53 PM To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] 1966 Chevelle Wiring Harness M&H Electric is where I would go to buy new harnesses.

Who would you recommend I go to to buy one? I need a complete harness from headlights to tail lights. I've looked in a couple of places, and I'm starting to see it adds up in a hurry.   Any suggestions would be appreciated... John Nasta, you do wiring?   Thanks, Larry Shouse -- Rick Schaefer 72 TPI El Camino -- Rick Schaefer 72 TPI El Camino
