The wiring harness in the coupe is still in reasonably good shape.  But I take into consideration that it is 40 years old.  And there are untold numbers of issues that could arise if I keep it.  With a frame off rebuild, I figure better safe than sorry in this case.  An investment in longevity. As it would be alot easier now, than after the car is complete, to replace it all.  So I am looking for information and suggestions as to which manufacturer makes the better replacement harnesses.

We only sell Lectric Limited.  They are exactly correct, they fit right and we have never had a problem.

Give us a call if we can help you.

Replaced all of mine with Lectric Limited. Everything fit perfect, no complaints at all. Also bought a fuse and bulb kit and replaced all of those while I was at it.

I used Lectric wiring and have been pleased. No problems. Matches the original wiring.

I also replaced mine with Lectric Limited and it was nice to have everything line up and plug right in.

Something else that I found very helpful and still use a lot are the wiring diagrams from "Doc Rebuild". They are specific to your car and are laminated so you just take it out in the garage with you. They don't cost that much and you'll be amazed at how often you use it. I don't buy much from them but these are great. They also have one for the vacuume system.

Dr. Rebuild diagrams are pretty and elaborate.  You usually need to buy two to get the whole car, but they have every option and exact images of connectors, etc.  Lectric Limited are less elaborate, but still complete and easy to use.  One diagram has the whole car.  It is a matter of what you like best.
