Default Which wiring kit should I buy?

I want to either get a pianless or AAW. I also want something that can run aftermarket accessories like power windows, radio etc. Also I want it to be able to run my carborated 350 but still be able to switch to an LS motor later on.

I used the Painless 18 circuit kit on my 69 camaro a few years ago. Its nice, wire is labeled, but it did not include alot of the stuff the AAW kit has. For my wife's 69 camaro I am using the AAW classic update kit. Instructions are way better and it includes things like dimmer switch, headlight switch, and all the bulb housings. Painless did not include these in the kit when I used it. Not sure if they do now.

My vote is for the AAW kit. AAW has very good tech support.

I've done a couple of the AAW direct fit kits, and was very happy.

Yes, and it will make your upgrades easier due to the added circuits.
