    Rebel !!! They are made right here in the good ole USA ! I have one for my 55 Ford and it looks very nice too . I got the 9+3 kit and is laid out very nicely . Wires are well marked and easy to read . The instructions are very to read also ! As for the price , you can't get a better one anyplace for the price of a rebel Wiring Harness ! I will be installing mine this winter after I get my engine and trans installed .

    Hey EZ Wiring is the way to go. I use this kit in all my cars and the cars I build for customers. Painless is a pain in the backside. EZ Wiring 21 circuit has everything you will ever need. at 165.00. Great tech support if you need them.
     
  8. i have the ez wiring in my 55 ford.. no problems with install and easy to follow instructions

    I've used the EZ Wiring kit twice and have another waiting to install. It is EZ. Haven't used any of the others, but the EZ kit is simple and easy to install.

    Rebel! I used a 9+3 kit in my '54 and it was a breeze. Very happy with it.

    I went with the EZ wire 21 circuit kit because I liked having the all black wire. It's a great kit, and great quality wire. I would probably go Rebel if I wanted a color harness, just to support a HAMBer.

    EchoOfGecko EZ Wiring come either all black wiring or the more popular color coded wiring. Which make it EZ to see plus ever 6 inches it is writen what it goes to. I dont sell this product, I just like using a very good quality kit.

    Dabirdguy I think you are a little confused. I looked up Rebel Wiring from Tugmaster Alliance member and authorized dealer for Rebel wiring. 20 circuit kit 219.95 EZ Wiring from any magazine add without any discount 185.95 for a 21 curcuit kit . I'm not a dealer for EZ Wiring. Just giving out free info

    Don't forget HAMB members get a 10% discount on Rebel Wire,the bottom line is Rebel Wire service after the sale, dragonknucks and many more HAMBers can tell you just pick up the phone and ask if you need help and you'll get it,in todays world that means a lot.Unless you are adding a bunch of extra power goodies the 9+3 kit will do everything you need and then some.One thing most kits do not include are relays,I strongly recommend you add relays to your system especially on the ACC of the ignition switch I used the Watsons Streetworks 70 AMP in my system here is some good info on relays:http://www.watsons-streetworks.com/current_topic.html you'll probably find some more goodies there too.
     
  17. or if you want to go really really cheap advance auto sells a 6 circuit fuse block for $10 you just have to add 30 amp fuses and the wire..

    I've been looking at their 9+3 kit for my 54... Should be capable of running the car plus radio and later on an AC system, right?

    I bought the 9+3 kit for my 55 . i am using a 302 w/C4 . I will be adding electric windows and a stereo but not one of the damn loud *** things . Just something to listen to . I might go with a electric fan if necessary since I have a couple in the shop I am not using right now . I am not going with an A/C unit at this time but maybe down the road if I can afford to drive it a lot . That 9+3 will hold just about anything you need . I haven't started mine yet but did look it over and it's a really nice kit !

    Thanks Jim.

    Yeah it looked like a nice kit, I'd love to get a dead original looking one but they do get spendy.......
