The Pro-Series is far from just extra wire length and a grommet, and really was what our engineering team would put together for a kit when wiring the cars they wire, so they put the kit together for consumers.

Our true universal 21 circuit harnesses start at $299.99, one of which can be had for $249.99 with a rebate, and comes with the instruction booklet in the kit. There was a short while we pulled the manuals out of the kits due to some printing issues and were able to provide them at a later date. However, the true universal cheaper harness manual admittedly leaves a good bit to be desired, and we currently have our technical writer coming up with an all new full color bound manual for those kits as well.

The Pro-Series kits start at $524.99 at retail. With the Pro-Series, you're getting a 6 gauge charge wire and midi fuse that will handle any new high amperage alternator you want to run, so you don't have to upgrade from the 10 gauge of the more basic kits, and you don't have to toy with the fusible link some competitors offer. It also comes with all non-insulated connectors and terminals, then we give you the high quality heat shrink in the kit with mastic. Pretty well every GM connector that was used mid-60s through the late 80's is included as well, so you are able to custom route the wiring but then terminate using high quality components that are in the box. This way you aren't having to source your connectors from the original wiring or buy them separately.

For cars that are more stock, we also have our Direct Fit line that is completely plug-and-play, but the cost reflects that as our labor involved to put the kits together. Some of our direct fit stuff line can take over a day each harness to produce, but it installs much quicker, saving you time or a lot of money if you're paying a shop's rate to have it installed.
