Guys, With the new engine going into my truck I want to convert over to electronic ignition. My wire harness is old, brittle, and looks bad. I dont want to salvage it, just buy new. Who do you recommend to use for a custom new harness that is set up for electonic ignition. Thanks fish

Hey Ron,
I used a Ron francis wire harness for a chrysler product.
It comes with provisions for mopar electronic ignition or you can use the pertronix as it wires up like points. I have mine set up to switch between the two with a simple distributor change.
Anyway, what I like most about the RF harnesses is the ability to add things after the fact. I am about to put in an electric cooling fan and they have a great plug and play setup that uses thermostat reading to switch on and even has ac clutch detect to switch on. I also noticed that cruise can added fairly easily.
You'll want one of the Express or 24/7 kits.
It is not as cheap as a Painless harness but well worth it if you're looking for top drawer wires and fuse panel.
