Any body use Current Performance Wiring?
Their harnesses appear to be more complete than others. I am basically looking for a plug and play type situation for my LS1 into 66 Skylark swap. Any one with any experience with them?

I'm on my third harness from them. The workmanship has been good. It looked just like the factory harness and had all GM connectors. My harnesses have mainly been conversion harness' fo S10s. I havent tried a harness for a classic yet. I have a 70 GTO in the works right now getting a 6.0? We'll see.

We use them regularly since they are nearby. Always had good luck with customer service and the products. There has been an issue here and there, but never anything too crazy.
Jason, what's your project that you are waiting for this "bargain" harness for?

Thanks for all the comments. There are harnesses out there for less. There is a company out there on the internet Chevy_tpi that is scary cheap. Anybody dealt with them?

If you are it should be Leonard Sparks, he runs the Chevy Thunder web site. I've known him through the internet for more then 10 years and always seemed like an above the board kind of guy. He has a bunch of swap info on his site. I think he still does the harnesses as a side line, so he doesn't have as much overhead, as guys like Jared do, that do this for a living. The first question I always ask is if they harness follows the factory color code. If it doesn't it makes it harder for outsiders to trouble shoot. They can save about 50% of the wire cost by using nonstandard, non-striped wiring. The next question is are all the connectors new. Connectors like the PCM connector, wouldn't bother me if they were reused, since all the contacts would be replaced anyway, but the plastic connectors age and get brittle, so even if you replaced the contacts, the latch could still break and come loose. Also some guys tape wrap the harness instead of using loom, which is another cost savings. Personally I prefer a tape wrapped harness in an old car since it seems more original. Others don't have any mounting clips to support the harness, all things that add money to the cost. By the way I just looked, Chevy_Tpi has 2 auctions on Ebay, for harnesses, each of them for $400, that doesn't sound scary cheap to me. Its not like they're plug and play modified harnesses, to fit something late model, they stand alone harnesses, with no emissions, of course he is throwing in a programmed PCM, but that's the smart thing to do, since it alleviates a lot of other issues.

Harness
Thanks for the tips, Poconojoe. I didn't know what questions to ask. it seems to me that $400 with a pcm is real cheap because the others that I have seen range all the way over $800 for the harness and $450 or so for reprogramming your computer. $1250 vs. $400 seems cheap to me. I placed a bid. We will see what happens. If I win, I will post here once I receive the harness and computer.
Why did you not use the Current Performance Harness you have Crowder?

Its a good price... I would buy it, but the main harness length to the ECU is not long enough for my build....maybe it will work for you....
