Gotta admire a man who ain't afraid to try something new. I have no doubt that you will be able to get it done, even if it takes a little help from your friends.   Good luck and keep us posted.

Tubo, your mustang sounds like a nice restomod. I think now would be a good time to consider dressing in the new harness on the other side of the fender aprons to hide them. I'll bet they're long enough too.

Another thing is mine did not come with a good schematic, just some wiring diagrams. A good schematic would make things easier for future trouble shooting. Another thing, keep in mind it is set up for a single wire alternator, like 3G.

Yeah I've talked with my Buddy BulletBob(Noted FYI 'lectrical wizz) BB sez, "He can talk me through it" Hehheh. Now If you've developed a schematic, BB & I both would be obliged to see it.
Good thing bout the harness and a 3G. Cos thats already done.
I'll have to take a look at relocating the headlight relays. The ones BB made, that are already in the 2+2, will be tranfering to the Vert.

TY HenryJ, as far as a restomod goes Miss May ain't too bad, considerin not having A/C an all.

The AAW kit install is quite a task, even for the brave and able.
It looks like the 66 kit is very similar to the 68 kit that I put in last year.

I stripped all the original wireing out completely as well as gutting the interior, its a lot easier with the seats, carpet and interior panels removed.

The kit itself is quite complete , all switches and plugs with plenty of terminals included with provisions for just about every accsessory imaginable. I did not like the placement of the relay bank which are virtually inaccessable when installed. Hopefully they are very reliable.

The length ot the wires are very generous, long enough to route them anywhere you want. I hid as much as I could from the engine bay by routing them through the wheel wells in waterproof shielded conduit.  If you desire, this would also be a good time for battery relocation which I did also.

I did not like their use of GM style connectors, I changed a lot of them over to Weatherpack especially the ones for ignition.

The instructions and schematics were very good and the product support exemplary.

One thing that should be considered is the Delphi crimpers, although very pricey, traditional crimpers wont cut it.  I bought mine but they can be rented although the rental time frame is not generous enough. It took me close to 5 months of almost daily work to complete all the stuff I did, probobly because of all the extra modifications I opted to do.

From waht I have heard the AAW kit is better than the Painless offring, The Ron Francis kit looks OK but I have not read about anyone going that route.

Rudi,

Are you saying that AAW uses Delphi connectors?  I am using the better grade Delphi connectors with my custom dash harness.  I use the same ones only with the weather seals under the hood.  As for the crimper, I have a roll crimpper that works well but have been thinking of  trying a different one and I'll check out the Delphi unit.  That way I'll have one for Corky to borrow, lol.

The crimper is Delphi but the connectors are the old GM style, not water proof.
