I had alot of issues when trying to get information from Painless in the past, and have use several of there harnesses on different applications and have been less than impressed. I recently wired my 65 Mustang from scratch using an American Autowire highway 22 kit, intended basically for street rods, and was more than happy and very impressed.

For comparison sake, How expensive was the kit you used?

FORD POWERED EXPRESS WIRING Back Buy - XP-67
COMPLETE WIRING SYSTEM

$ 419.95
We supply you with connectors for stock Ford , ididit, Flaming River and other brands of steering columns. Wiring is included for the complete car - starter, one-wire alternator (external alternators add VR-99), points, Dura-Spark and aftermarket distributors. It will also wire the full gauge set including tach and neutral safety switches; and for all lighting needed for most safety inspections including Hi and Lo beams, indicator lights, parking, turn signal, brake and third brake light. The EXPRESS has been simplified over earlier kits to speed installation and facilitate trouble-shooting. We use HIGH TEMPERATURE fire resistant wire that is color-coded to the panel, each with the circuit clearly and legibly printed, supplemented by our famous COLOR CODED INSTRUCTIONS. An isolated cooling fan relay with wiring and a quality headlight switch are standard. A unique serial number for each kit allows us to provide technical assistance to you and any subsequent owner.

Our newest custom wiring system is built specifically for your vehicle with all the connectors and wiring necessary to drive it, pass inspection, and be able to add accessories as you see fit, now and in the future. We have included the cooling fan relay & wiring. This is due to the fact that more and more customers are using electric fans. Now you can have everything centrally located for a cleaner installation! We've also added a Multi-Connection Battery Junction Block to reduce the number of wires going to the starter for all those add-ons in your custom application.

*Clear Coated, Polished Stainless Steel Finish
*18 Circuits on 16 Fuses
*4 Select-A-Fuses
*Faster Installation with New Style Terminal Block
*Cooling Fan Relay & Wiring Included
*Only the Best Quality Wire and Terminals
*Proper Size Heavy Wire for Each Circuit
*Handles 100 Amp Alternators
*Serial Number
*Includes the Proper Connectors & Terminals
*Clear, Simple, Color Coded Instructions

The Express is a direct replacement for all previous Ron Francis Wiring kits. It has a very similar bag structure to the past models. All variations of alternator, distributor and steering column are available. Along with the cooling fan wiring and the Multi-Connection Battery Juntion Block, it has 16 fuses, 4 of them select-a-circuit, for complete flexibility in building it your way. The 3-digit part number series harnesses indicate engine manufacturer. Some foreign applications are available.

Dash ignition and floor dimmer switch users update to new reliable switches. Order RON FRANCIS WIRING Part # SW-37.

If you have an externally regulated alternator we recommend ordering the Voltage Regulator (Order RON FRANCIS WIRING Part # VR-88).


Here is the one I bought.
