Dash Harness - Classic Industries or Year One?

[JoeNY]

Well, it looks like I'm going to have to buy a dash harness. Anyone have suggestions between the Classic Industries $679 or the Year One $799 choices?

Year one had some back order issues, not sure if they have been resolved, I just did a M+H harness complete for my cuda pretty nice for stock set up. Looks like a 1970. If classic is M+H I would try it.

that surface rust at the fuse terminals is easily treated with many OTC rust products. even soaking in vinegar water, scrubbing with an old tooth brush, and then lubricating the newly exposed metal fuse clips with a silicon grease will last... 30+ years, I'm predicting.

but to soak the fuse (box, more or less) in an acid solution may require pulling the whole dash assembly from the car, so the wiring harness may be extracted. in the end, it's the same amount of work, just without the replacement wiring harness.

a dremel tool with a tiny wire brush may do the trick without removing anything (but the fuses) and when you put fresh fuses in, lubricate them with the dielectric (silicon in many cases) grease.

Year One is good about standing behind their products. I think that's the reason some stuff costs more. But anyone making a dash harness should be pretty decent these days!

If only we could talk Bill and Evie Evans (Evans Wiring) into making dash harnesses! But I can understand why they don't.
