i'll have to look at my reciepts but i believe i got mine from year one and was made by M&H (?). anyhow, it was a stock type replacement, color codes and connections were perfect. i did splice a blue wire in at the ballast resistor for the electronic igniton, which is easy. i also got the head light harness and it worked out good. if you need details or i can be of any help let me know.

Year One/M&H is your "only" choice IMHO,....if your application is not available contact YO about having M$H make a special harness for your application required

When I restored my 70RR I needed a new console harness. They were not reproduced so I sent my old harness to M&H and they made me an exact duplicate for $35.

Sounds like M&H has some happy customers. I will give Year One a look.
Lew, I will give you a call if I run into a problem.
Thanks guys,

when i did my 65 coronet i got rid of everything electrical from the firewall forward. i don't know enough about electrical stuff to take chances with fires and breakdowns. i feel its money well spent.

I agree. When I put the 440 in I had to lengthen the distributor wires. I want a harness without any splices.
Thanks,
Thanks,

Does anyone know who makes the the harnesses that Classic Industries sells?

Re: Who has the best engine wiring harness? - 06/15/11 03:24 PM
Most likely the same one that YO sells which would be M&H.

stay away from that evans crap. the one i bought had bad crimps all over the damn thing. it was horrible. there was a thread floating around here somewhere that quite a few other guys had the same issues that i had with that evans junk. go with the piece from year one. thats a really nice harness and more correct if thats your thing.

True,
all Mopar specific M+H harness's are and have to be sold thru Yearone. no exceptions.
BUT, buying from Yearone as a reseller is possibile( as an example Paddock sold reboxed/re-labeled Yearone / M+ H harness's )

I used Y/O...fit great and the price wasn't too bad.

I had Bill Evans make me a custom one with provisions for a Denso alternator. I provided him with the connector and he eliminated the voltage regulator since the alternator is internally regulated. He also made provisions for an electric choke. He was very accomodating and open to doing the custom work without a problem. The harness works great and Bill gets two thumbs up from me.

I got one 2 weeks ago and it had one bad crimp (I fixed it) and one wire was 2 sizes too small. I sent it back and he fixed it, but it cost me return shipping costs........

A brand new Evens harness left my friend brokedown on the interstate in his 70 Cuda. Found 3 bad splices where there should not have even been any splices.
Evens would not fix it.
I've used several MH harnesses with no problems.

i bought a bunch of evans stuff for my demon resto, when looking at the engine harness i found it didnt have the wiring for the idle solenoid so i emailed them and asked why. they apologised and said send the harness back. before i could they emailed me and said they were sending the wiring and i should do it. not what i paid for.
probably will just sel the evans stuff and buy the YO ones instead.
