I bought an EZ Wiring kit from ebay for something like $115. It has worked great so far.

Restoring a car to look "only" as good as the factory made it is like getting a boob job for your wife and having the doctor make them two different sizes to seem more natural

When I did my 38 I used the wiring harness from a donor car (79 Newport). Car cost me $100, got a good running 360, trans, rear end, wiring, you name it. I stripped that car for everything I could and scrapped it for $50. Can't get much cheaper than that and the former owner delivered it to my house for that price too. They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

Seemed easy enough, but I didn't understand why they do it for the GM tilt steering, and other options. No mopar stuff. I couldn't find what would work best for my application.

Most aftermarket steering columns (Ididit and such) used in streetrods are GM style. My harness was designed for a GM column, but I tweeked it for use with a seprate ignition switch and an old accessory turn signal switch.

The tilt columns I have from a Chrysler and 81 Dodge pickup were both made by Saginaw and I used a GM tilt column repair manual to dismantle them. - EM

Took my time and ran the wires low and out of sight. Used existing hole on the core support and wired it all up nice and pretty. Then he decided to replace the core support and they just cut the wiring off. Guess who's going to get called to fix it when they are done? 5076139-misc018.jpg (30 downloads) Cheeto It's not perfect. It's not correct. It's not yours!
