Is there anyone or a company making new wiring harnesses for a 65 Sport Fury?
Thank You,

65 Sport Fury Wiring

Try Bill Evans, he can make a new harness using your old one as a guide.
[email protected] or call 814-864-2622. I've used him in the past, quality work.

Whomever makes the harness, make SURE they use OEM-level wire and terminals. Some harnesses, by observation, look good, correct color codes, and such, BUT use a wire with thinner insulation and possibly even a slightly smaller gauge of wire. Looks good, but not when put side-by-side with the original item.
Painless Performance has a good product, with some pre-made harnesses, but usually not for Chrysler C-bodies. Their other products are purely "cut-to-fit" from a completely universal base harness. Even sold by GMPerformance and possibly others, as it's OEM-level stuff. More for the street rod/street machine markets, though. FWIW
What issues are you wanting to fix? Just curious.
Enjoy!

I have no wiring at all, although I know there is used items available. I wanted to put all new in it since it is completely dismantled. It is not original engine or anything & it is going to be a nice hot rod cruiser but I want to use as much original made to fit items as possible.
mr. fix it

Good luck with this
our harnesses are simple yet complicated all at the same time
it would be nice to have a good reliable source for our C bodies
it’s really important for most of us to have a plug n play harness but until a supplier commits the funds to invest in the harness templates likely we will be stuck with patching up the original or making an aftermarket harness work.
We all see the need for wiring harnesses but are we willing to pay for it? I can see a Complete one off harness Costing about $700-1000 simply because of the labour and connections involved
my question is, would we be willing to pay for this service?
The more harnesses that are needed will bring the price down somewhat
It’s hard to say.

Been to Desert Valley. They have a couple of beat up 1965's but based upon condition, Joe Biden has a better chance of being elected than them having an intact wiring harness.
Actually, there can be SEVERAL underhood harnesses. One for the lights, one for any a/c items, one for the engine, and one for something else (depending upon model year and equipment). EACH should have their own unique bulkhead connector "plug"/terminal. THEN those will interface at the bulkhead connector to go inside the car and under the instrument panel. Once you get them separated, they will probably be easier to deal with than "everything together", typically.
SO, as for similar model years, with the engine family you have chosen to use (A, LA, B, RB), you'll need to search for that body/engine combination first. Then add-in for the a/c system. Much better to get something that's of the same engine family than to try to adapt.
I suspect there can be some similarities, but could be wrong. There were several differences/changes between the '65 and '66 Furys, but what happened in '66 probably would go through the '68 model year (last year for that version of C-body platform).
I concur that Murray Park could be your best friend in this deal. Tell him what you've got and where you seek to end up (engine and such) when you're done. I suspect he will know what you need to make it all work. AND, download a wiring schematic and parts illustration from www.jholst.net (1965 and back) for reference. I'm not sure if www.mymopar.com has a FSM that far back for Plymouths. Jholst.net is specific to Chrysler 300 Letter cars, but the schematic you need probably works for all C-bodies in '65.
On any used wiring harness, be sure to individually check the terminals for deterioration and integrity, for general principles. Better to repair them when it's all laying in the floor than once on the car. Then, be sure to have enough space to lay it all out, like it'd be in the car, so you'll know what is what and where it all goes/attaches to. Become somewhat familiar with it all before you try to install it. Then go from there.
Good luck and keep us posted on what you find and your progress,
