I had an American auto wire harness and it was garbage. Followed petes advice and now i recommend kwik wire for anyone doing this task. Thanks pete! Helped me get my 71 challenger back on the road after 20+ years! Great in depth video to boot.

[@crazychris2083]

I spent months looking for this video after looking into changing my wiring harness and finally I found it! Kwikwire here i come!

[@craigwoodfolk3240]

Excellent episode Pete. I really appreciate your detailed (no BS) explanation. Especially since I was looking at replacing the wiring harnesses of a Datsun 240Z I’m considering purchasing.

[@crazykansan3026]

Thank you so much for sharing this. I have my Dad's '76 F250 that caught on fire quite a while back. It has a 460 out of a continental instead of the original 390. I only have a basic understanding about wiring. Been struggling to decide how to start fixing it. Don't have the money to pay someone to do it. Also would like to be able to understand it. I decided that ripping out all the existing wire would be the safer way to go. Trying to understand wiring diagrams I found this video. The basic harness is exactly what I need! I love that everything is grouped and clearly marked for this dummy. I am so happy now- I might actually be able to fix it myself!!!

[@deankay4434]

Absolutely great job Pete. As car guys, we find something we like and we stick with it. Honestly, this is how most of us end up married as well! (LOL) As an auto tech for decades, my early career started with a wiring diagram that folded out 8 page long in the back of the factory service manual. Head lights on the left of page 1, tail lights on the right of page 8. Everything else was in the middle with wire colors only. I am passionate about proper wiring, colors, terminal position, grounds and how to use a digital multi meter to perform voltage drops, opens, shorts & high resistance. Many don’t know but a “Sun Roof” (Or Moon Roof) has four channels with hoses that go down both “A” pillars and “B” pillars and terminate at the rocker panel drain. Clog these up with tree leaves or daily debris, and you have water under the carpet & seats. This causes opens, shorts, power to grounds, all kinds of issues. Thanks again for bringing this companies product to our attention. Thanks Pete!

[@shogunMR]

Thanks brother you've helped me a lot over the last couple years that I've been messing with my car. I'm watching your body work and painting and studying it hopefully I can get a cheap welder and some body work tools. Choosing the right wiring harness is going to help me a lot also. Your videos are awesome thanks for the great you really helped me out a lot 👍💪👌

[@michaelbates2035]

Compared to others I have worked with the KWIK harness are very nice I will definitely use them on my Camaro project

[@DeanFortunato]

Pete thanks my brother watching your videos has been a great learning and motivational experience. I am currently restoring a 81 Z28 first restoration project for me .Please keep up the great videos t you are making they are a big help. Thanks Dean Fortunato Cooper City,Florida

[@ashc5728]

Thanks for making this video, I am from Australia, and I have to wire an Fastback Celica (and im not electrically inclined past doing some stereo installations), I assessed the instructions and documentation from quite a few kits available, and after seeing this I was sold. Have ordered a 22 circuit Kwik Wire Kit :)

[@beentheredonethat7572]

I bought a painless kit for my 62 C10, I'm absolutely completely impressed. It came with a 130 page detailed manual for my application, everything is like GM OEM but updated, I can get fuses, flashers & relays from anywhere. I honestly don't know how you can do better for under $400 After doing some research & listening to home boy ramble on.. my advice, go with a painless kit

[@arizonarider6998]

I was done with the dummy pretty quick . I will buy painless just because dude is a tool.

Ya know, based on what you've shown here, I think I will also use one of these kits in my build... Know this vid is old but it looks like the quality is still there and the price is reasonable... Thanks Pete

[@hectortoledo8855]

Just like Pete said it, in his early videos he only buys the tool's that works; man is a classic straight up professional can clearly see it in his year's in the business and work he's been putting in.

[@rogerramjet5092]

Pete SOLD! it is really self evident which is the better product. Thanks I had never heard of this company but when the time comes . I will be giving them a call to talk about my wants and needs for my project. While pretty fair at most thing mechanical, wiring has always been a short coming . Lots of uncertainty and confusion. So have always avoided when possible or even change the project to minimize the wiring, This was possible because my "brother from another mother" was a wiring savant. He has moved out of state. So now i have to deal. Dam I miss Bill been buds since HS . Last century 1977 on... Once again my thanks to our friend Pete!!!... Have a good one

[@jaydb07]

That was interesting and helpful. Thanks for making it. Maybe one day I️ will do my 1961 Impala. It needs it.

[@RobertPerrigoOkiechopper]

Damn, Where were these people back in 1980 when I was building my 1967 Pontiac Grand Prix ? Back then was a lot more difficult to tackle vehicle wiring as to everything you need today is just a push button away. We really had to scrounge around for many items we needed, but in way, looking back, it was ( to me ) more rewarding. Pete, remember the days of scrounging?

[@rtp3962]

Once again a great video. Im going to put a new harness in my camaro and will strongly look at their product. My car has an ls swap and i hope they can help me out. Theres alot of criticts out there it seems. Screw them all. Loved the video

[@hankfink]

I used their wire harness 10 years ago for my 1953 Ford hardtop. It was great, instructions also had many scenarios depending on alternator or generator, was very upgrade friendly. I will buy from them again for the next hot rod!

[@lazaronunez8558]

Great job Pete.

[@SCHNEKM483BK]

Another great video!

[@26022011hb]

Watched this video and figured I’d buy the Kwick wire kit based on your review. Yes the instructions are nice. But man they couldn’t have made this “universal” harness much shorter. There isn’t many wires I don’t have to extend. Your better off to pay half the price and get a painless harness at least you’d get what you pay for. This kit is nice but not worth the money. Especially with the length of their wires

[@MrGuitarguyadam]

Holy crap this company is the bomb, just placed my order after watching this and then actually looking at their website/product and literally hundreds of customer reviews!

[@KahRoor]

Merry Christmas Pete & Minnie and to all the characters down at SWRNC. This video helped me tons. I'm at the wiring stage of a '80 Z28 restoration and was stalled as to what to buy. I'll call Kwik Wire today to place my order and let them know where I learned about them.

[@diyautoschool]

[@rodgerfoughtsr3592]

I got mine and was very impressed. Not only a very good thick manual, each wire has its use right in it. Printed on the coating of the wire. A very good choice for the money. I'll post again once done to let everyone know just how hard or easy it was to use.

[@jimbojimson]

I've never wired a car before, but this helped me decide on a 14 circuit Kwikwire harness for my '73 Mercury Montego GT. The factory harness is garbage, so I imagine this is going to make the finished car a lot more reliable 😁

How did it go thinking about getting that harness

I'm just starting out, I'm restoring my 1984 Ford Ranger 2.3L long bed, glad you covered more than enough wire. like the thickness/length. I have a question. how many circuits do I need. and what do I do if I have extra wires? I have the old harness to lay out. I thinking of going with water proof, what do you think? Don't plan to drive it in a lake, but may go through a puddle, or normal down poor road rain. I have standard windows. Just have brake lights, reverse lights (2) each. parking lights 6 may go to 8, I have a hood light, dome light two head lights high beam low beam. Gas tanks (2). AC unit, no electric fan, electronic ignition. installing a Holley Spider. What is a circuit? speakers behind the seat. and under the dash. Original Radio standard cigarette lighter. I could go big but would have all the extra. Looks like 14 circuit water proof $445.00

[@Kantuk391]

Exlent. So how would you go into wiring LT1 5th gen. 455, use stand alone wiring harness or is there somthing cheaper as good out there. For 33 buick street rod.

[@hughblevins2445]

Painless for my GTO was 130 pages and color photos everywhere and not stapled on the corners. It is a book. Granted this one has binders on it, but that is the only difference in the book.

Pete, I have also used Kwik Wire for years. Met them at a show many years ago, good people, great product.

[@garthmakela]

Pete I've been watching your videos from some time from Brisbane; Australia. I've used a kwikwire harness in my 1971 XY Fairmont sedan and although a few mods were needed to suit the RHD aussie ford (i started with a 14 circuit GM harness) it was a nice easy deal. Keep up the good work Pete; not only have a learned a hell of a lot watching your videos but have been very careful when engaging shops to do work I'm not capable of doing myself - and your videos ensured i knew what i was looking for when speaking to shops.

[@ACA332]

When do you decide its time to use a brand new harness vs reuse the existing one? I recently parted out a car that was so badly infested that I had to shovel the interior out one scoop at a time. And yet, the entire wiring harness was still usable. In the project I'm working on now, the previous owners hacked things up a bit but it's nothing you can't fix with a bit of solder and heat shrink.

great review Pete! and i believe, when a manufacturer makes the effort to produce a good instruction manual, it means he wants you to do it right and securely.i'm sure you wouldn't want the car to burn down. Enjoy the Holiday and be safe.
