Title: Best wiring harness
Post by: Goose on February 13, 2020, 06:42:17 PM

I need a new complete wiring harness for my '63 3b rebuild. Can someone suggest the best brand please. Also not sure it will matter but we're swapping the Hurricane for a 6cyl Dauntless.

I used a wiring harness from Walcks and it worked perfectly. My 54 3B had been converted to a Dauntless 225 with a 12 volt alternator and had a couple of other electric additions that was easily figured out. The schematic was a challenge at first but once that was figured out it went very well. I took my time and double and triple checked everything. Good luck with your project.

Went with Centeck because I have a local dealer plus he's fitting it to mate with the 231 V6. Thanks everyone.

Goose,

I think you'll be pleased with the Centech harness.  I got one for a 69 Bronco back in 2013 and it was worth every penny.  Good quality and went in easily.
