<VV> Wiring harness

[bob mccrum]

depends on what you want to end up with-if you want an original harness, go
to clarks or underground.  I have used ron francis's wireworks kits on 2
street rods and can highly endorse their simplicity and well written
installation instructions.  very well made, but in no way are original or
make any attempt to look like oem product.  bob mc

hold up is the electrical system.  Every wire I see has broken insulation
and the ones I can't see are definately grounding out.  I was interested in
members experiences with:  Clarks, Underground, and generic kits from
Painless Wiring or other vendors).  Clarks lists a 65 van wiring harness, is
this set up for an Alternator or a generator?  Other than that are there any
differences in van harnesses 61-65?

have "Been there, done that" all comments are welcome.  Thanks again.
