Default Reproduction wiring harnesses...who to use?

Who's everyone's favorite supplier for reproduction wiring harnesses?

I'm not interested in any of the "universal" kits that you have to fit and install the terminals on yourself, I'm looking for an exact fit "plug it in and go" OE style harness.

As always, much obliged.
Eric

I have had very good luck Lectric Liminted www.lectriclimited.com . For the most part (for me) they are a plug and go harness. Most everyone else would use them right out of the box. Some things I do change over to OEM plugs as the aftermarkets are not correct. I have never had any issues with them whatsoever.

On the engine harness, I clean off the black electric grease from the terminals as this has sometimes caused connection issues. Easy to fix while doing a restoration but a real pain after the car is done.

I basically had it narrowed down to either `lectric or M&H already, looks like `lectic gets the nod.

Many thanks.

M&H was used in both my cars, just plug them in, just like factory.

I've replaced the wire harnesses on all my cars with American Auto Wire (Factory Fit) and have never had a problem with any of them. They are exact reproductions of the originals. Thats whats going in my current 69 ElCamino project as well.
