Roll me over, I'm done: Purchased a complete under the dash wiring harness for a 66 from Classic Industries for the restoration project of my 65 Sports Fury; I was assured the one from a 66 was the same and I am sure it is and it would work. We just are now installing (6 months after purchase), long story, nightmare and discovered that NO, the purchased wiring harness would not work would; no wiring for dash lights and gauges and probably other. (Bless their little hearts however, Classic said they would take back). Have searched the internet so long that my fingers are so sore I can't find the G string, and there are two, on my Pedal Steel Guitar. In any event:
Does anyone know where a new harness can be purchased for a 1965 or 1966 Fury which is a C Body of course. Many sites say they have a universal for a 65 or 66, usually coded 1027, but this will not work for the reasons stated above. It has to be modified, but without having the proper plugs on the universal, you have to use the wiring and circuits from the old harness. This in large part defeats the the purpose of putting in a new harness AND because the required circuits in the old harness are basically "hard wired" which makes it difficult at best. This it more frustrating than going and gassing my 66 GTO with premium this morning that just hit $5.95 this in Phoenix; $.80 in three weeks (18%) and no end in site!
What I am looking for is an UNDER THE DASH harness that can be taken out of the box and plugged in with minimal rewiring. We are at the stage in the restoration that this is holding basically everything up. Suggestions/ideas on where to purchase?
Thanks
