M&H makes them and only sells the main harness to Yearone since they paid for the start up cost.

Even if it was not 100% correct, it did not matter to me. My engine harness came from Bill & Rose Evans...it was also a nice piece. I have heard rumors that some of the Evans harnesses are not wired correctly, but I had no issues with mine. (This was for a 1970 Barracuda.)

I haven't heard of any that were wired incorrectly, but I have heard of harnesses with loose connectors, faulty crimps.

They are also quite a bit cheaper than most other places. They generally are at most shows and willing to talk with you about the product and what you might need.

Jim, I am all for helping out the little guy, but I would suggest that no matter who you get the harness from, you should do a simple pull test on all connections to test for a secure crimp. I would rather pull off a connector than deal with a fire or other heat related damage caused by a loose connection.

Looking at the harness, though nice, I found 3-4 wires not totally secured in the perspective places.

So id pass on the evans wiring harness, yearone has no hassle return policy also and a correct looking harness.

The extra few bucks was worth the car not burning to the ground The evans ones I had gotten had loose wires and no new connctors on the ends but were cheaper. I fixed it my self with new connectors from Napa and put the old plastic connectors back on.
