I have one of theirs on my '69. They will build one like you want it. I have an HEI, and the new harness was altered to fit, just like it was factory. All ends are labeled, and all colors are as they were originally.

They are a manufacturer, but sell to the public. Check 'em out, on-line.

I have one that I bought from Wes at Classic Heartbeat, IIRC its made by M&H and is altered for HEI, looks to be really good quality, the only critiscim I would have is that there's no instructions or labels, you just have to match it with the old harness.

M&H Fabricators' website is wiringharness.com.

I have their engine harness on my truck, modified for HEI. It isn't hard to figure out where the wires go, like Lippy said. You just follow the old harness or use a diagram.

Hey Willow 72, if you want to save some money here's an idea. Go down to a salvage yard and find a 69-72 harness. (these harnesses where pretty compatable with these years. I believe 67-68 are a little different. If you want HEI just run a hot wire from the fuse box with the key on prestart to the BAT on the distibutor. Then run the big purple wire to the S on the starter silenoid. Take the white cloth covered wire and either take it out or cut it,(you don't need the cloth wire.) The cloth wire was a resistor wire for the old coil. This is what I did and it works great! These harnesses are a little pricey. Good Luck
