Thread: Looking for a wiring harness for my lights, controls etc for 23 tbucket

Everyone here are making good points about all the top wiring companies. My best suggestion is to check them all out......Ron Francis, American autowire, etc......then see what each offers and figure out what you are going to need.
I don't care for the ones that have an empty fuse block and you have to run the wires and tighten a screw when you plug into the fuse panel. I like the wires already in the panel and you run them to where they go.
This is why you should do your homework.

I wire around 20 odd cars a year and i find the Rebel Wiring kit the best value out there and i've used them all over the years.

As Steve has said, I used my first Rebel 9 + 3 kit on my 27 recently and was happy with the quality overall. It is not the most expensive kit on the market but everything seemed to be done well, each wire was marked with it's destination and the instructions were about 90% easy to figure out. Only thing that had me scratching my head was that they sometimes used a smaller gauge wire on one side than the other, and that was on the side that had the longest run. That seemed backwards, but it seems to work fine.

We also have an American AutoWire kit that Dan will be using in his rpu, and it does have some addtional features, like the ability to unplug wires right at the fuse panel, which sometimes simplifies running the wires (you can do them one at at time instead of having a bunch of spagetti hanging down to dig through) and it also comes with lots of switches and components that the Rebel does not. It also costs about 3-4 times what the Rebel kit cost, so that is a factor.

But overall, I would buy a Rebel kit again and probably will for my rpu project. They are certainly easier to use than the Summit kit we put in my Son Don's T...........the instructions on that one were horrible, and we are not exactly novices to wiring, but were still baffled at times during the install and had to guess a lot on how things should be run.
