Best harness for resto mod?
« on: January 09, 2014 - 11:09:55 PM »
Want to install a modern hemi(6.1) and T56 6 speed in my 70 Cuda.
TTI I see makes motor mounts and headers,what or who do I use for tranny mount
And does anyone make a plug n play harness and rims for these retro conversions?
Possibly bouchillion?
Any help would be great
Dave

So far If I were to do a custom harness hotwire would be my choice.. If you want to incorporate two different harnesses.. are you going fuel injection?

Hotwire seems to do nice work and they can custom your harness removing the things you don't need.

Hot wire would be the nearest harness for plug and play

I'm not sure if you were referring to mega squirt you do need a different throttle body, if you go with a gm one its simple and has idle air control. You don't need a tuner for Megasquirt you can download a free software package to tune it or pay 40$ and get a better version that has an auto tune feature. With all the kits you need a wideband.
