Thought I would post a good story since they seem to be far to rare in the hobby.

I purchased new wires through Year One, these wires are produced by M&H, but M&H cannot sell direct due to a exclusive arrangement with Year One, linked to Year Ones investment in MOPAR research/tooling investment.

Received the wires and compared to my original and was pleased to see that everything would work but there were some differences with some connector colors, socket styles, the occasional "additional wire" and a gauge thickness. No show stoppers, many of the items I intended to correct myself, but a good quality, plug and play harness.

I documented all the differences and sent a Power Point presentation to M&H, looking to see if they would be able to provide correct pieces for me to incorporate into my harness. I was pleased to see that M&H offered me the option to send in my harnesses, old and new, and they would make the corrections. The wires they returned to me are outstanding, and a ringer to my originals.

Special shout out to M&H for going the extra mile

Good to hear. I used the M & H harness on my 69 Charger with great results. Installed it while dash was in the car though.

Your dash looks factory fresh down to the little clips! Great job

I've used M&H harnesses since their debut in the market market, any issues (extremely few) were always minor to correct, but for the most part an exceptional company/product to have in the market place....I do recommend to anyone replacing a harness, no matter how small or complex in shape/function/design, to take the time to check every circuit for contenuity/Ohm value to assure oneself that all the connections and circuits are 100% functional, easier to chase down a problem with the harness isolated, rather than installed in the vehicle

My 67 R/T vert had the same thing, a couple of small harnesses that Year one did not have.. M&H made new ones for me also.. Great people.

I found a couple of wrong connectors on a rear harness for my '69 Cuda project. M&H got back to me promptly and quickly shipped the correct parts and I did the (easy) repairs myself.
Very impressed.

I am in the process of completing two cars at home for friend's of mine. Both cars have ALL new M&H harnesses. I only found one isiue, but was easily corrected. I am very pleased with their products.

Cheers and thanks for the "good vibe" post.......

I continue to be amazed at the number of stories on these folks, considering the limited options of other sources they could easily have provided a lesser service, but chose instead to raise the bar.

I too have replaced all harnesses and could not be more thrilled with the results.

I have all new M&H harnesses in the Challenger. The only issue I had was a loose connector at the steering column and that was probably the fault of the aftermarket ignition switch.

It would be nice if they offered an updated harness for my Dart so I don't have to modify a brand new one. I'd like to bypass the amp gauge and run a wire directly from the battery to the alternator. This would take a lot of the load off the bulkhead connector. They should sell a harness like this.

Add me to the list:
1968 Super Bee. Did the underdash harness in under 2 hours last year, did the front and rear light harness this year. Everything worked just fine with them. Just have to track down my bad ground for the front parking light.

Side note: I would only buy these from year one when they have a 30% off sale. They seem to pop up at least every other month or so, so hold out on it. I always post it when I get the emails in the deals section.
