Re: [AMC-List] weather pack connectors

[Frank Swygert <farna@xxxxxxx>]

There are several wiring kits around. Painless is the most well known
because of advertising more than anything else, but they do have an
excellent product. I've had some experience with different kits and all 
are pretty much along the same lines. Most use GM wiring colors for the 
circuits since GMs are the most popular. One, "Snap-In", I believe,
uses a modular fuse block with mini fuses -- these are much better for
tight fit areas. You'll need to get a universal kit which adds a foot
or so of wire to each run. On some you suppy the terminals on the end,
some come with a terminal kit (or have it as an option). Some have not
only different colors but the names of the circuits (i.e.- HEADLIGHTS,
IGNITION, etc.) printed along the wires. Painless does that. I have to
say that by far the finest of all is Ron Francis stuff. They make (or
have made) their own switches and such too. I've had replacement
pressure type brake light switches fail in less than a year after
replacement on a daily driver. A Ron Francis switch in a friends car
has been there a couple years now with no problems. I converted to a
pedal mounted switch, but will use a Ron Francis switch if I ever need
one again. 

You should have no problem wiring the car with any of the kits Dave!
For others, just mount the fuse box, pull the tangle of wires through,
and run one circuit at a time. The kit suppliers usually have all the
terminals, and most can be purchases from the local parts store.
WeatherPak connectors would be great to use where connectors are
needed.
