After chasing my tail the for the last couple weeks I've decided its time to replace the 50+ year old wiring and gauges in the barracuda. Fuse box is corroded, wire is brittle in places and not much of it works. What does work is ignition, head/tail lights, fan and horn.
Have been doing quite a bit of reading about various brands like painless, Ron Francis and American Wire. Pricing on these kits seems to be all over the map from 300-400(RF and Painless) to 1000 for American wire.
Looking for opinions on which kit might better suite my needs based on the following:
If you guys have any insight or have done a wiring job please chime in. Also, if there's anybody in Boise, Idaho with experience even better...
Thanks in advance

Looking for opinions on which kit might better suite my needs based on the following:
- Using mopar electronic ignition
- Using Denso toyota alternator Denso 60 amp kit, small blocks | AR Engineering
- I would like to install a classic dash along with Autometer gauges. 1967-69 Plymouth Barracuda / 1970-71 MOPAR A-Body Rallye Dash Panel - Classic Dash
- Need a wire diagram for Year One turn signal switch, the colors are different.
- Dash mounted ignition switch.
- bypass the amp meter
- I wouldn't mind getting rid of the bulk head terminal at the firewall, its in rough shape anyway.
- concerned about how to tie into the factory switches like headlight, hazard, column, fan motor and etc.
If you guys have any insight or have done a wiring job please chime in. Also, if there's anybody in Boise, Idaho with experience even better...
Thanks in advance
Jim
