streetrod wiring harness, whats best?

i must have fount 11 places selling different wiring harnesses. so its hard to know whats best. the prices vary a lot also and it seems to be all similar stuff.is it that some is made in the us and some in china or what?
painless,ron francis,ez wiring,its a snap,and others too.
I had always made up my own in the past and just used a fuse box from something that was sitting around but i thought i would try all new stuff this time.

Compare the little stuff too. Some have the circuit printed every few inches. That's good when you cut the wiring shorter.
Most will work with Mopar components, some are GM only and will need mods.
Ask about all the connector ends.
Compare what your needs are future plans are to the size and type of fuse box.
Ron Francis was one of the first, and has continued to refine his product. Just like Vintage Air, I have to give them the first nod, since they pioneered the product, have gone through more generations instead of copying a sucessful product, and have stood the test of time, which means happy customers.

i have also researched this,ron francis is and was mopar friendly,,all the after market wiring harneses are GM color coded,,ron francis has all the mopar diagrams for how ever you want to run your ignition or charging system, painless also has diagrams,but they only come with there biggest system,but are available from them via email or a fax,,ron francis add on parts are cheaper then the painless prices,,altho some have used EZ wire kits in basic hot rods with normal things that a factory car came with ,,,no windows,no a/c etc,,.,,im going wit ha ron francis kit,,just got the catolog

I have since used the ron francis kit and really liked it a lot, i even called with a couple questions and got good tech support.It seemed to be high quality with good directions.
I also tried EZ wiring in another project and it worked with no problem. i didnt like the way the fuse block mounted. it only had 2 bolts and i couldnt get it to sit flat because it only had 2 legs , i guess you would call them, to sit aginst. also the wire was allready attached to the fuse block so if you didnt need that wire you had to cut it off and wrap the end up , so it wasnt quite as neat. but i didnt have any problems with any of it working and it has 7000 miles on it now.
i have a painless harness i am trying next.

I would avoid any wiring kit that has the wires pre-terminated at the main board.

i havnt done it yet but i thought the ron francis block was pre wired???

The Ron Francis kits have you do the board termination with screws.

and the others ??? i thought all the after market kits were pre wired at the board,,,ron francis will be my choice when i re do my barracuda

Check out American Auto Wire I used that in my 36 coupe.very nice!

i thought american was strickly GM based,,

Yes I beleive it may be GM based.
Joe

so did you convert it to mopar charging system ?? or are you using a GM one wire system?

EZ Wiring is pre-terminated and labeled every couple of inches. i have used several and love them! good instruction manual, too, if youre a wiring newbie....

I have used many EZ wire kits and have had great luck with them. They include mopar diagrams in the instructions and they are about a third or less of the price of a Ron Francis. 195.00!

would you say the wires are long enough to run thru the frame to hide head lite and altenator wiring, going from one side of the car out forward across to the other side frame rail and to the altenator, up to the water temp sensor ??

are there any provisions for relays for fuel pump, horn , and H4 head lites?? and are the wires assembled to the fuse block ??
any time ive spoken to any wiring company at a rod event other then ron francis,,all i get is no mopar diagrams,,or the biggest comment i get is we cant get the plugs,,,thanks
