OK, so my 67 coupe has had some serious wiring issues. The past owners have crimped and spliced it so much that it is a mess. Then the last owner had an alarm installed and because of the way it was installed, it caused an electrical fire. So I have decided to replace the wiring in the car, bumper to bumper. Since I am making some changes, I am going to be taking this opportunity to install a much higher amp alternator and a couple amps for my stereo and what not. So I'm going to be running a lot more power through the lines than the stock wiring was designed to take.
I'm heard good and bad about painless wiring. Some say it's simple, some that it's hard. I'm doubting that the OEM harness will take the power I'm putting through so I need to find something aftermarket.
I want something that I can install myself, something that will handle my new power requirements, and something that I can install options easily like power locks and power windows. I also have a new GPS and GSM enabled alarm that I want to install so reliable would be great.
So my question is, I'm going with painless for the time being, but if you think that there is some other option, I really want to know. I have read a lot of posts on here, but each contradicts the last. Lets hear from those who have done a rewiring with one of these kits.
Off topic, I also plan on redoing the carpet and underlayments while I am doing this. Along with putting in reclining seats. Oh how I miss having a car with reclining seats.
EDIT: had to watch this thread and set it to send emails.
