Now I'm gettin' REAL NERVOUS!!! I don't need connectors falling off a "brand new piece"!!! I'll check Year One on their stuff! Help!!!

I used one on my car 3 years ago and I have had NO problems or issues with mine. I bought from Bill based on a freinds recomendation. He has had his for quite a while with no problems.

I use Bill's all the time (at least a dozen or more).
I've had no issues with them, however Bill is a stubborn fart.
Last year at Carlisle I purchased over $1000 worth of harnesses from him and he would even take $5 bucks off....Most vendors would knock 10% - 15% off a large purchase...

I just installed engine/forward/rear harnesses in my 'Cuda. They looked great,fit great and so far are working perfectly. He made me a custom engine harness and got the order to me quickly.
I would buy from him again.

I use Bill's on all of the restorations I do about 5 to 7 cars a year and never have had any problems, I've been nuying from Bill for a long time now.

I just ordered one Friday of last week. They were reccomended by a friend of mine, but he did say to check all the bulkhead connections before installing. It should be at my door any day. I ordered it with the Mopar electronic ignition modification. I'm anxious to see how it works. I'll let you know my thoughts when it starts making sparks. Tom

The biggest complaint with Evans' wiring is bad crimps. If you are going to buy any wiring harnesses from any vendor, make sure you do a pull test on all the crimped connectors. If you are afraid of pulling the connectors off, you should be more concerned that they might cause a fire if they are loose. If you run across a marginal crimp, you can always solder the crimped wire.

Note: M&H does the above when they make the harness and it is part of their assembly process.

You should also check the connectors and make sure they fit tightly together. You can do this with a separate test male connector. Just take your test connector and plug it into each female connector and make sure that all the connectors are a snug fit. If any are loose, you can squeeze the contacts closed with a pair of pliers.

While I didn't use them yet I bought a complete harness set for a 71 RR clone I am doin. 4spd. nuetral safety,engine,light and wiper harness's. I will check all of the connections after reading about this but one thing I will say is that he replaced one of the bulhead connectors for me. It was totally different than all of the others and since I spent some $$$ I wanted them to match,I gave it to him at the Nats in Ohio and he made it right...

Thanks everyone! If I decide to go with Mr. Evans,I'll definately check ALL the crimps,especially at the bulkhead! RandyB

Don't be scared off by these guys. If you like one guy then use him, but dont scare off someone else based on some random event. As someone said if Evans was bad we would all know to stay away from them. Fact is they have a good product. Maybe not the greatest out there, but go check out the prices of the other guys, maybe they can afford to put on a smile from you guys while taking your hard earned paycheck. I've seen the Evan's at plenty of shows personally and they have always been willing to answer questions. I guess personally doing an all day show out in the hot sun (even with a canopy) has to be tiring on anyone. Dealing with the public is not the easiest job sometime. Shame someone bought a $1000 worth of harnesses without a discount but life is tough sometimes. What would those same harnesses cost from the other guys? Bet it would have been a significant amount. Like I said, buy who you like. If you know so and so personally and always got good stuff from him and they were friendly to you, then go with your gut. But I think being fair to the other guy should be expected unless you personally have some knowledge of some serious poor workmanship. A suspected bad crimp sucks, but who knows maybe the installer was a little too rough.

Go with M&H from Year One

Thank You all for your experiences and opinions! After talking with my good friend,Ron Wilson(Firefighter3931)I'm going with the M&H harnesses from Year One. He just re-wired his '68' Charger, and said the quality was excellent! Thanks again guys, I truly appreciate it! RandyB

The only problem I saw with the YO /MH harness is that you had to use that ugly 4 pin ballast resistor that does not look rite on the older cars....OR did they change that part on there harness ?

Not a problem! I don't run a ballast resistor with a MSD 6AL control box. Thanks guys! RandyB
