Default Which wiring kit?

Put an American AutoWire in the '55 post I did for my buddy --- wire quality is great - all lengths are labeled... super easy to work with.

Remember, we only sell what we will use on our own cars. By choice AAW is the only one we sell.

I agree there are many great companie's however my personal preference would be AAW. Great customer service, incredible instructions, east to install and they are just easy to work with.

Put in another vote for American Autowire.

I tried a Painless (HA!!!) harness as a wiring newbie in 1997. I failed miserably without
any good instructions to guide me along. I paid my cousins ex-GM tech's husband
to do the install and he botched it up pretty badly.

2009 I decided to gut my car again because it was a serious botch job.
I ordered a AAW Hwy 22 kit from MuscleRodz and I did the install myself.
It's VERY VERY newbie friendly and their schematics are VERY professional.
Their wiring is labeled the entire run of the circuit, and it's idiot proof'd.

I put this in a 78z28 mated to a 2004 GTO LS1 drivetrain harness modified by Speartech.
