Default Wiring for 79 Camaro/LS1

Who are you guys using for the wiring on your 2nd Gen Camaro? I've looked at a few threads and pretty much got everything else figured out from reading up on other member's swaps, but I haven't seen anything about who's doing the wiring. Thanks for the help.

Matt

Wiring for what, body or engine/trans? If for the body you can either use a EZ wire kit just get enough circuits for everything. Or just do it yourself if the wiring is in decent shape.

As for the engine, there are plenty of threads around here to learn how to do it. Just use a relay to power up a fuse block and run all your pink and orange wires here. Now it will run. Everything else is just gauges and what not.

if you mean a stand alone harness, John @ SPEARTECH is a sponsor here and does fine work. Painless sells a ready-made & there are others.
Or, you can get a wiring diagram for your LSx and give it a go.
I like the paint color. Very nice!

Thanks. I'm looking for the Engine wiring, I kinda don't want to put the labor into doing it myself, although I could.

gMAG thanks for the compliment, I'm doin an LS1 Iroc which will have the same color
