IMO, Ive used them and had no problems. They arn't the most accurate in the world but they do the job and look presentable 1971 Plymouth Duster 340 auto 1937 Plymouth PT50 1969 Dodge Dart Swinger 340 4 speed 2013 Ram laramie 2500 hemi 2008 Harley FLSTSB springer

The factory harness for my 74 has the bulk head plug in that plugs into the dash harness on the firewall plus another connector of the same type that plugs into a small sub section. The Evans harness does not have the 2nd connector or the sub section. I ended up repairing my original in a couple of places and putting it back in the car. What Evans sells is a harness for 72-74 cars but 74 cars are a unique year with some differences.

The only reason I ordered the M&H was because of all the complaints that have been floating around lately about Evans. I have a custom Evans engine and headlight harnesses in my Road Runner I installed two years ago and they're perfect. One red car, one yellow car.

It doesn't say anywhere in the item description on their site that it'll take two and a half months to receive, As a matter of fact my online statement says "IN STOCK" One red car, one yellow car.

The M&H harness is wrong for an A12. I experienced fast, friendly service from Evans, with no problems. After I sold the car, the new buyer found some loose crimps. After they were fixed, it's working fine from what I understand. I would buy from them again. John 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT 2018 Challenger SRT Demon

Never had to do an exchange or refund with them but in talking with them I would say they would do whatever needs to be done to make the customer happy 416 stroker from Nick at Compu-flow. 11.14 in full street trim. Seems like a new best every time out. 11.06 open headers----so far!!
