Re: wiring harness

You do not need to get a V8 harness. You may need to lengthen some wires for the bigger block but still no need for another harness. Just be sure to do a neat job on any wires that you need to extend.

All a carb engine needs is Ign wire to the coil and wire to starter solenoid
( as well as the temp and OP gauge wiring )
