Complete Camaro Re-wire question
 
Okay guys... I'm turning to you; the pro's who have done this before. After 10 years and many financial hardships, my 68 RS/SS has finally been put back on the road. :thumbsup: Now that I have a great career, this year the resto-mods will be done. First is a full vehicle re-wire and gauges from new vintage. Later this year will be an LS/TKO-600. My question is which harness company to use, Painless or AAW. Both look like their products are high quality. I'm looking for a straight forward install. So which company, why you chose them and would you go back to them in the future? Thanks very much in advance.

X2 for AAW Classic update. Be sure to get the correct crimpers, that is the key.

AAW all day.

I agree with all these guys,AAW is a very nice kit,not saying anything bad about painless because I have not tried them but have done 5 or 6 from AAW and afraid to try anything else because they are to easy.

:thankyou: very much. Winner is clearly AAW. I'll post updates later when I order and install.

Oh yeah, AAW all the way. Getting ready to buy mine as well.

AAW....one of the great things you get are new socket ends and plastic connector housings, painless often has you reusing your ends or purchasing them from some one else...the main reason is that AAW has exclusive rights to many of the GM molds on the plastic connectors....thats not saying painless is bad I use many of the separate systems to run other items such as the painless fan relay kits and the painless fuel pump relay kit and a few bits like that

Are there any dealers on here? And do they sell them for the same price as ordering off of AAW website? Looking to buy my harness this week

Update....
 
Well, almost a year later and with time permitting between work and family. Three weeks ago I finally stared in on the wiring and gauges. So far I have wired everything except the front lights, horn, and come console stuff that will come later. The AAW classic update kit is awesome. So easy to install and straight forward. Highly recommended. I chose the New Vintage 3-1 gauges so all the information is in the dash. This will free up console space for a custom build.
