There is a huge difference!! The Painless is a few feet too short, plus it won't have all the necessary emmissions hookups. There is many more things wrong with the painless that I don't feel like listing. Unless you are putting a TPI in an older car, use the GM harness.
Since you have a TBI, pull your harness out and send it to Howell, www.howell-efi.com
They will modify it to work in a TPI for $350. That's what I did and I am real happy with the results. Also, www.tunedport.com sells an integrator harness and a conversion kit.

Best E.T. with TBI 305: 16.11 @ 82mph
Haven't been to track with new motor
If you have any questions on converting from TBI to TPI email me at jdkchevy70@yahoo.com
In memory of Dale Earnhardt, I'll miss cheering for that black #3 on raceday!!!

I'd stay away from the Painful Wiring harness personally...
