wiring question

[Russ69Runner]

What kind of price do they put on the wiring harness now day's quikbird.

 

[quikbird]

Complete new harness runs about 300-500 depending on size. Pretty same price from Ron Francis, painless, autowire etc

Thanks quikbird. Think mine is fine and got to check it out to see if it has an extra wire to the trunk for my rear window defrost. If not I have a bunch of wire so might run my own. Think all I need is the engine bay wiring kind of brittle after all these year's. Russ.

I have a 1970 roadrunner and can I convert a oil light wire to a oil pressure wire because I cannot find a new under dash wire harness with a oil pressure gauge wire on the Classic industries web page ?

Need new gauge cause the oil pressure gauge has a small tube that shows the oil pressure they make good looking gauges for that purpose or you can hide it but I like keeping an eye on it case something goes wrong the idiot light won’t tell you till it’s to late

You could use the idiot light wire and extend it to an electric oil gauge and change the sending unit. Or you could tee off the block with an oil line to a mechanical oil gauge and keep the light.

no need to Tee off the sender on a Big block...on the opposite side there is a pipe plu where you can run the manual gauge line

Oil pressure actual gauge would be a really good idea to retain. Mine would show normal then low pressure then OK again with shifts. Saved the motor more than once. One time had carb float spring leak and crankcase was so full of gas, wouldn’t hold any pressure at all.

Thank you I will think about these options I like having both oil gauge and light though. I have a rally gauge cluster in my 1970 roadrunner that has a oil pressure gauge and I would have to buy a oil light

It is nice to have a set of gauges that tell temp-oil pressure and amp meter. Over the original dash gauges. I did not like the warning light for temp like most of us know by the time it flashes it is already really hot. So if one fails you always have the other's for safety. Good luck. Hope it work's out for you. Russ.
