wiring harness should it go?

[brans72]

i am currently working on a 1972 chevelle i was wondering your thoughts on the wiring harness should i keep factory ones and weed out what i don't need or do i replace being it is a complete ground up build? i have been told some wiring is hard to find after market. brandon

What kind of build is it? Is you connectors good?

I guess it is a p/t build ls1 with all new items in engine bay and updated light system to see better. The dash area is bascially stay stock round gauges with update speedo having it sent to redline :unibrow:, I would like to added few more gauges if i can make them look like they belong there in a tasteful manner. The rear I am using leds from you of course. I am just curious what some might do on this build. The ls1 engine harness I would like to do but would take me 10 yrs to make it like Speartech does, so might sub it to him since he does a great job! I hope I anwsered your question on the build. Ithink most connectors are in good shape just would need to be weeded out on what i do not need in certain areas and taped up/ shield correctly not that cute wire loom from under the imports hood :lol: So I hope I gave beter info in this post for you,sometimes I don't give a good description on what is going on with what I am doing.

If your connectors are good, I would lean towards the Highway 22 kit since AAW does not have a vehicle specific kit for the 68-72 Chevelle yet. You would have to plug your original box hole, but the Hwy 22 gives you the ability to only install what wires you need and leave out what you don't. It has terminal connections to power to your efi harness, plus any other aftermarket option you might want to add with piggybacking into the system. I have installed several and very happy with how easy they are to install and follow instructions.

Also, having Speartech do your harness should be a no brainer.

Hoping I don't sound like a complete idiot but mind giving me more info? This would be my first in non factory wiring and wanna be sure I know everything I am getting into hopefully with a little help from guy's like you. You don't have any pictures would could show with details for me to give better understanding and options? Thanks again
