anybody?? I know there was a recommended company in the past that would customize a new harness to fit your needs.

Thanks

Why not buy a Factory shop manual & sit down & rebuild what you have & get the wiring for the electronic ignition from a donor or a vendor.

I have in the past robbed a harness from a 72-77 Dodge truck & made it fit to gain extra circuits.
73-84 Chevy truck harness can be cut down to fit & is actually the easiest. You get fuse links & all. You can use the 84-85 harness with OD & get the switches & harness to use for a 518 Just get the 2 pressure switches & you have a PATC style lockup kit

Probably not much plug and play out there new, used I'm sure.

I'm another for DIY. Bought new bulkhead connections and did the "mad" conversion. Now all the wiring from the fire wall forward is new. Make good soldered connections and wrap it all up in vinyl wrap. Not electrical tape.....

Good luck!

Solder & heat shrink, the Chevy truck harness is basically what the Painless & other vendors designed off of. I use them from headlight to tail light
