You would think there is a company out there that makes a specific wiring harness for the mustangs as many of them that are out there! I know I saw a company out there that made a nice clean simple kit.

Here is a couple of factory replacements?

For a race application I like Auto Rod Controls touch pad setup. It uses a small computer type ribbon cable to connect the switch panel instead of a large bundle of wires running up the bars. I also use their firewall keypad which only took a couple of minutes to setup, plugged in one cable.

After installing I tried it with gloves on with no problem, and I've never heard Mike complain about it.

Best wiring kit made IMO... Cool   don't know if it would be good for your particular application but you might contact ARC & see if they have something... very easy install.

I'm a little partial to the Leash stuff.  We've used the ARC stuff as well but for the price the Leash stuff is hard to beat. As far as the actual wire goes, I have never found a pre-bundled kit that would not have been better off making from scratch.

Thanks guys. Going to start converting it this fall. Probably going to build a small block or maybe a carb setup on a dohc 4.6 cobra motor.
