I redid my 65 dart from scratch. set the old harness on the floor and soldered in 1 wire at a time on a new harness as I cut the old wire off of the old harness till the new one took shape and the old one dissapeared right next to it. I upped the gauges on some circuit. BE SURE to use the OE colors (including wires with colored tracers). there are companies that will sell you the exact lengths of any color/gauge you need. NAPA has the bulkhead terminals 725145/725147 (female/male premium brass 1/4" terminals). underhood is easy but forewarned under dash takes some doin (& this was on a bare bones 65 dart!) You asked for a new harness (recommendations) so here's a BTT for ya

Since we are talking quality......I have tried Evans and M&H (sold exclusively through Year One). I would not use ANY other reproduction harness other than M&H on my cars. Yes, expensive (roughly $600.00 for a dash harness and an engine harness). Well worth it, cheap insurance, fits like original, goes in easy because it belongs there. No other way to go on a reproduction IMO. If you have a decent original you can have JS Restorations restore it for you, SUPERB customer service and quality but I don't think he's accepting new work at this time.

Can anyone suggest a decent harness that is reasonable in cost? I would love to have an updated wiring harness that won't break the budget. Thanks in advance!!! Your request sounded perfectly straight up/reasonable/feasable to me. From some of the posts regarding fitment/GM based etc I feel a bit better about doing mine from scratch but I hate to say this but I would not want to do it again but I did get it dead on perfect the way I wanted it
