Stock gm wire.
Was unsure where to post this but here we go. I'm currently doing a lq4/4l80 swap and need to extend some of the wiring harness. Does anybody know if you can buy stock color coded gm wire? I really don't wanna go pull wire out of a salvage yard.

Re: Stock gm wire.
Any time I could get my hands on a wire harness I would snag it up. Has most any color you would need. I always keep one around.
Do you know any one at a dealership. If so they will replace a harness and most likely shove it back in the tool room. See if they will give it to you. |

Re: Stock gm wire.
If you look at the GM vans, they have BIG runs of 10+ wires under the carpet or roof liner for the rear a/c and stuff like that. Great source of CLEAN wire from being inside the whole time.

Re: Stock gm wire.
I generally look for the newest Cadillac I can find, there's a couple of miles of wire in the interior of them. Also under the carpet and usually really clean.
