    I bought the "It's a SNAP" unit because it seemed to match up with the TPI instruments I have. So far the wires are laying on the front seat while I finish up some mechanical installations but the time is drawing near when I have to wire it. Frankly I would really like to see some pictures of in-progress wiring since I really don't know what I am doing regarding the wiring and I usually end up doing things three times while learning. I have mounted the fuse box under the dash over the steering column and all the wires are labled every six inches as well as color coded. Tell where I am wrong. I am planning to use a trickle-charger power supply to set up and check the wiring before connecting the battery. However, I need tips on where to run the wires. At the moment there is a channel inside the body along the inside edge that can be under the carpet so I am thinking to put the wires there, OK? Then the lights to the front will have to be clipped to the frame with those rubber coated clips. I have considered running wires through the frame but it is rectangular tubing and fishing the wires in one hole and out another six feet up the line looks like it is not worth the effort to me. The tech guy at "It's a SNAP" said they are one of the oldest sources of rod wiring and the connectors seem to be of high quality as well as the fuse box. I would appreciate hearing from anyone else who has installed this wiring kit.

    No one lost their job when Ron Francis sold his company to The Detail Zone. Matter of fact, Ron is still on the Board of Directors and his wife is still VP for Admin. All of the employees also stayed. The guy who owns the Detail Zone used to work for Ron, before he started his own company. Ron is also still involved in R&D with Wire Works.

    The company is stable and still a major player in automotive electrical systems, and will be around for the long haul. There may be reasons not to buy their products, but a change in ownership shouldn't be one of them.
