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

Ben,
Was the engine harness good to go out of the box or did you have to modify, coustomize it?? I do need the express kit as my fuse box is in very sorry shape. Cracked and missing side walls, very rusty, Loose and missing prongs, YUCK!!!! The 24/7 kit is over kill. 24 fuses??!!! No way I need that. Ill never use the 18 given on the express kit. If the bare bonz kit gave a ready to go wireing harness Id think about that, but, not much diff. in price between the bare bonz and express.
Did you get the simplex ground kit? Is this kit what helped your tail lights along with your custom bracket. I forget, did you make that bracket your self or get it in a kit? I think thats pricy for all you get. What other kits from Ron Frances did you get?
You used your stock dist. and put a petronix electronic ig. kit in her, correct?? Why not go chrysler electronic ignition?? What was your thinking.
Thanks for all you help. These are mods I am going to do this winter. My goal is to get the truck dependable, safe, and comfortable and able to haul butt with the final test a trip to Chrysler at carlisle.
