    Henry's wiring is become a nightmare. Partial original wiring with stuff added on when I went to 12v, and then again when I added the SBC.

    What is the most painless rewire kit? If there is such a thing.

    Stock truck with electric wipers, stereo and amp, electric cooling fan, HEI and SBC.

    Help me out......thanks!!

    American Autowire has a very nice kit, shurefit with all switches and ignition included. Around $500. I am doing an American Autowire in the 41 Fo#d I am building.

    I have an Its A Snap in my truck with the mini fuse block. I have installed 3 EZ Wire harnesses in trucks. these are usually $165, universal fit. I have used a Rebel Wire in a Pantera which was a pain in the ass......the Pantera, not the Rebel wire.

    All are good harnesses.

    I used E Z Wiring on my truck. Wires are marked along the full length, so it's easy to keep track. Used the 20 circuit panel and coiled up unused circuits under dash. I can add whatever I need to later.

    After looking at everything at the Street Rod Nats. in Lou. KY., I've decided on American Autowire as Russ suggested. Make and model specific, made in New Jersey, and with lots of extra circuits for modern stuff. Our host sells it, don't forget the discount code "stovebolt".
    Part # 52-081.
