1986 Z28 wiring nightmare
Okay, So I have just purchased my first camaro! Its a project but one that I can handle. my biggest question right now is where can I find a Complete wiring harness for this car. (I mean from the tailights to the Headlight and EVERYTHING in between) The guy I got it from is a shade tree mechanic and has wires cut every where and laying around the entire car. The car does turnover but will not start. The power windows wont roll and hes got random switches taped to the dash and laying on the floor boards ( got this car dirt cheap with a terrific body and tons of extra parts). I want to rip out ALL of the old hacked up wiring and start over. then go on and troubleshoot the problems that the new harness doesnt fix. I think it will fix quite a few! any info would be greatly apperciated! thanks in advance.

Thanks guys I think I will be going with the larrys electric. its a little cheaper and it seems like it will have the quick connect fittings need for the car. which hopefully will mean less crimping, splicing, and soldering for me. I'll let you know how it turns out.

i ave an 86 tbi harness in an 88 carbed car depending on what u doing to the motor depends on what wire u need to keep the stock harness does just fine although cutting and terminating alot of wires helps i only kept few wires under the hood new harnesses can be expensive too

The "painless" is pretty painful when you pay for it! I found a parts car with a good harness and some other parts cheaper. But you do have to pull it out.
