<VV> Re: Resistor Wire

[Chris Hames]

I think that it's a really good idea to replace the entire harness in  
the engine compartment.  Who knows how many other splices have been  
put in under the tape?  I unraveled about 6 inches of tape on mine  
and found four splices, and since I was having some funky electrical  
problems I just redid the whole thing.

It took me about 30 minutes.  Not only did my funky electrical  
problems go away, my car performed better too.

If you buy the harnesses directly from the manufacturer, M+H Electric  
Fabricators, Inc. (www.wiringharness.com), you'll save money over  
buying it from Clarks or any other 'vair shop.  The engine harness is  
$69.95 from them direct.  M+H also has a full corvair catalog  
available online (click on products, then click on wiring harnesses,  
then go all the way to the bottom and click on "check out our new  
catalog")

If you still don't want to replace the whole thing (do it! :D), still  
give M+H a call - they can do lots of custom things and can probably  
just send you the resistor wire.

Good luck!
