    I'm thinking of picking up a EZ-<wbr>21 EZ Wiring Harness. They cost $185 brand new in the box. Has anyone used these? Thoughts? Anyothers I should look at?

    I have used two EZ-Wire kits and they were both great to install. I will probably use them again on the next project.

    I've used four of them and have no complaints. They are well made and install easily.
     
  9. I have used quite a few of them no problems, for the price they can't be beat.

    Just used an EZ Wiring harness on dad's sedan. If I had it to do over again, I would NOT use it again, as I don't like prewired harnesses like that. Could be my attention deficit issues, but I prefer to wire one circuit at a time, back to a board that I make my own connections to.

    I used an Enos Black Box on my '40, and I found that their diagrams were much more user friendly than that of the EZ harness.
     
  11. I'm planning on doing a re-wire on a 40 DeLuxe sedan with a 1948 Ford Flatty. Want to re-do it all with a 12V system. Does the Rebel kit, or any other work with the stock setup? Thanks

    I've always had great results with american autowire systems,excellent instructions
     
  13. I posted the same question a couple of years ago.

    Consensus was some of them need to be soldered in the terminal box, they can come loose there, other than that, no issues. I don't know if I'll end up using mine or not, now that I'm contemplating a TBI swap into the car, I'll need to use most of the wiring out of the donor truck anyways - may as well take the rest apart and adapt as needed -

    I just got the 21 circuit kit also from EZ wire also. Well made and good price, but, I ended up using Ron Francis. I to like the one wire at a time kit. Electrical wiring is not my best talent. Good luck in what ever route you go.

    +1 for American Autowire - wouldn't use anything else. Not the cheapest but, see my signature for explanation...

    I used one on my 54 F250. It was fine. Just as good as any other, Francis, Painless(ful), homebuilt, etc. But it was less expensive, I'd use one again.

    I used EZwire on my 56 Chevy.While I think their harness is good,their instructions suck big time.They are not complete and do not show the "from" and "to" with each wire.I had rather do one wire at a time also.Being an old Air Force electronics guy made me want to get a real schematic diagram, not the kindergarten instruction sheet EZwire gives you.I would not use them again.
     
  19. I used an EZ kit when I rewired my Deuce. Found it fairly easy, and Id bnever rewired a car before.

    Been on the road for 3 yrs....no issues.

    Id use one again !

    Used the ez kit on 1/2 dozen or more cars with no problems. And the company is still around, must be doing something right. I think there product line has good quality and price. Plus like the others they will provide headlight and ignition switches for a more complete package if you like ...ghost

    I used one on my 48,no problems,the only thing at all negitive I could say is instructions could be better but if you study it a little it all comes together.

    One more vote for American AutoWire. The owner was an OEM electrical engineer for GM. Great product and after sale support.

    I used the ez kit and had one wire not work. Next time it will be a Rebel kit or make it myself.

    I've used EZ kits on a handful of cars and have had no issues. Used a Kwik Wire kit on a vehicle at work, and it's also a great kit. Been planning to try a Rebel harness on one of the next ones. I've installed Ron Francis, Painless, and Hot Rod Wiring, but I prefer the more affordable kits like the EZ and Kwik Wire

    I just finished wiring my F100.

    I bought a fuse panel out of a Dodge truck at the wrecking yard. On my way home I stopped at the hardware store and bought a shit load of connectors and 200 ft of #16 (white) wire...it only cost me $250.00 for all that.

    Seriously, I thought I could save some money by buying only what I needed. After too many trips to the parts store and the hardware store I spent more than what a setup from Rebel Wire would have cost.

    I didn't really set out to rewire my truck but it all seemed to have started after pulling a leaking radiator and finding worn out, rotting cross over wires to the head lights...I was only going to go as far as the switch...Right.

    I did use a panel out of a Dodge truck and the wires aren't really all white, nor are they all #16.
