Has anyone had engine harnesses made up by Bill Evans,out of Erie,Pennsylvania? I heard he does quality work,and does custom pieces,like MSD control boxes. Any opinions,good or bad,are appreciated! Randy Borawski

YES I have bought 3 harnesses from him, all worked perfect and no issues. I can't say if they are all 100% concorse correct because I don't know. But they work as intended and I highly recommend,

I was happy with mine as well. Plus they are a decent price to boot.

Yes, yes and yes.

Bill has always treated me right and makes a great product.

Whenever I get an engine harness from him, I have him extend and hide the wires for the ECU under the battery tray.

my A12 superbee harness wire from the bulkhead wasnt crimped properly in one of the wires and it caused my car not to start. it was in the engine compartment side, after going over all the wires we found the culprit.
i emailed bil evans and he said send the harness back, i was hoping for him to say ill send you another one out and then send me back the defective one after you get the new one installed.
oh BTW, its not close to concourse correct.
the ones from Frank Badalson and yearone are better concourse correct.

concourse and CORRECT should NEVER be used in the same sentence

If you want absalute OE correct you'll need original harnesses (NOS or mint used, etc.). As far as reproductions, M&H (sold exclusively through Year One) produces the best I've seen concerning correct original colors and details, but none of them are an exact match to original.

Randy I did run into the same issue as superstockracer , had a connector come off from a bad crimp , called and had them send me another connector instead of expecting a complete replacement harness before returning the other

I also had 3 crimps come loose at the bulkhead connector but I got one last week for another car that looks better. I would chect it at the bulkhead side befor you install it. He replaced the bad one I got from him with a new one and that one has been good for the last 5 years.

Set one on fire the other day, guess the E-Body I was working on has a shorted amp guage which caused the original harness to burn. I am going with M&H this time, the Evans harness had issues with proper wire lengths at the coil which caused other issues with connections.

Sent a Bill Evans to Mike at M & H. Let's just say I was lucky I didn't use it. Go with M & H.

the Evans harnesses have been around for a long time, I would say they cant be too bad or word would be out to avoid them at all cost in which case they would be gone.

Maybe not the best game in town but I think theres a case of piling on going on now.

Still haven't ordered my harnesses yet!! I don't like,or feel comfortable,with a product that gets such mixed reviews! I guess I'll have to do a little more research! RandyB

i had a evans harness that had 4 connectors fall out of the bulkhead. it was a piece of junk.
i called him and his attitude wasnt good, hes not much of a people person, his attitude at carlisle is i cant be bothered with no personality.
i got mine from yearone and with the 15% discount it wasnt bad.
