I was looking through aftermarket wiring kits for a street machine application.
Painless seemed very vague.
Ez wiring even more vague.
Ron Francis wiring seemed the most expensive, but their website seemed to have alot more to offer for mopar applications, and they detailed everything in the kit. But the price was alot more as well.
I was very impressed with their website and by the looks of painless and ez wiring, I can see why Ron Francis would kill the competition in sales even if they are more pricey.
Does anyone here have experience with the ron francis mopar styled wiring, if so, what are you using it in and how did it work for you.
Any other suggestions welcome, these were the only guys I could think of since most of the stuff going in my 67 cuda is aftermarket except for a few things so Ron Francis wiring may be a little over the top and I may be better off with a cheaper kit.

The built from scratch is a more expensive way, if you want enough colors and wire gauges to be similar to an OEM installation. Bulk wire is expensive these days. I have never seen a Ron Francis kit, but I heard good things and bad things. I'd suggest getting a kit with a good fuse block with machine crimped connectors on it. The cheap kits sometimes use a bunch of aux fuse blocks stuck together as the main fuse block, and the crimping could be suspect. As for the other end of the wires, most kits provide you with cheap insulated terminals that I would avoid. So factor in kit + good terminals + good shrink tubing (dual wall adhesive lined) + a few extras like junction points + harness wrap, or convoluted tubing or a bunch of tie wraps, grommets + some good tools. I have no idea what Ron Francis supplies, try to get as much info as possible to be able to compare apples to apples.
Good luck, Ran
