One might say a few dollars by doing it themselves with individual wires,
however, take it from someone who has rewired over 50 AMCs thru the years,
inlcuding a 69 Javelin that had over 40 roach, sorry, alligator clips, to the
fusebox and spliced into wiring, but just get yourself a original wiring harness
and redo, or use a repro if one, it will save you a lot of time and money, and
could save your car itself down line if ever car fire due to mixed gauge wires
becoming overloaded (re: heater/AC, amp, ect) for instance. Again, Richard
Estermeyer on my VENDORS list is parting out something like 15-20
Gremlins/Hornets, give him a call, not email, but call and good luck,

That is what I was going to say Eddie. You could do it but with all
those wires it would take you forever. Then after you got it done I
would almost guarantee you that would have one or more of them crossed
and it would take another lifetime to figure out what you did wrong If
it was simple to do then people would be doing it and then the wiring
harness would be cheap.

Re: gremlin wiring was, sort of still is ebay crap
Thanks for the info....A friend suggested to
wire it buy using rolls of wire going one by one..Is this an
alternative? ?

No., the Javelin harness will not work. You might try
seeing if some of these folks have a used harness. I do not
know what a used harness, with most plugs will set one back
for Gremlin. I can tell you there are reproduction harnesses
for 68-69 and 70 and 71-74 AMX & Jvelin in the $500
range, down from the $1100 years ago.
Painless wiring harnesses suck I would rather burn my
car than use one, but if I use one it would probably catch
on electrical fire anyways.
There is no reproduction wiring harnesses for Gremlin
or Hornet made that I know of.
A good used wiring harness for 68-70 AMX or 71-74 AMX
ot Javelin are in the $250-$350 range, but would think that
Gremlin/Hornet ones less, I had a 74 Sportabout harness I
sold in mint shape on ebay months ago for $100 for example.
Note that most harnesses are sold without the rear taillight
harness, just main harness, the tail light harness usually
$25-$50 extra.
You might try
Mike Lakin in NV I think he is on this list, but go to
www.craigslist. com and look for 'amc'
under Reno, NV and you will quickly see all his parting out
ads.
Also on my VENDORS list:
try
Richard Estermeyer who is parting out 15-20
Gremlins/Hornets
Circle City AMC, ex-Houstonian Vic Owens (tell him Eddi
e& Paige say hi and miss his grilled hot dogs at AMC
meets
hopefully on of these folks will help you out.
Lastly in shameless plug which you knew was coming like
seeing Billy Mays sell shit from beyond his grave shamwow,
here is a mess of ebay stuff shoved on there ending MONDAY
NIGHT
might see some stuff you just have to have, thanks for
looking, good luck and tell those folks above I sent you if
contacting them.
