Is Painless wire harness really painless ?

Personally I think Painless is way overpriced, and too "GM -- ey"

I bought a "used" Painless that would have cost around 450, that someone had started to use, cut some of the inst. panel wires. I used it in my 67, it was missing all the extra hardware (GM, anyhow.) I paid 100 for it off Craigslist, and basically got a nice big fuse panel and color coded wires.

One thing I do NOT care for about (I think EZ) as well as Painless is the wire labeling. Color coding and numbering is FINE, but they insist on labeling the function (ignition, etc) so if you want to use a circuit for "something else" (I don't have power windows, the harness DOES) then whatever you use that for wrongly says "power windows"

I wish I'd kept track------someone on here posted a source for connector terminals, so with those, some good headlight connectors, and a decent generic harness you should be able to do just as well.

Also, in mine, I used a Voyager relay panel for ignition, headlights, pump, etc, and Bussmann makes some nice, similar ones

Buss/ Bussmann fuse and relay panels. You can configure these a lot of different ways, but they are "out of" my budget

You'll have to Google and find Bussmann's catalogues, they make one HECK of a lot of stuff, these relay/ fuse panels come "MT" and you can configure them a lot of ways
