    Hello guys, I bought a 1987 el camino a little while ago and I just finished putting a new engine in it since the old 305 in it spun a bearing. I have been driving the car a little bit now and have noticed some nasty electrical problems that I cannot figure out so if anybody has ideas or...

    I’m in the process of requiring my 1967 el Camino with a painless wiring harness. I discovered a little box behind the battery mounted to the core support, that looks like it connects to a pigtail coming from the positive battery cable. After some research I discovered it was a battery junction...

    My new (to me) '85 Caballero has the large clock in the IP. I can pick up a tach w/clock from a wrecked MonteCarlo. Can I swap this in without doing much extra wiring? Is a tach connection already contained in my IP wiring loom? Thanks in advance, Mike

    Hello, long time lurker and once proud ElCo owner. For three years now, I've been working on my El Camino. It started as a beat up junker with an old V6. I was 15 at the time and barely knew anything about engines. My uncle and several other family friends helped me learn the basics, and in a...

    1984 El Camino - driver's side switch moves passenger widow up and down; passenger side switch only moves window up but not down. I try it later after using driver's side switch and the passenger window goes down but not up. Where do I start looking! Can't complete the car until it works.

    This customer read me the riot act over a bill on his '06 Dodge diesel and swore to never come back to me in writing. Well fast forward 5 years and he asked Linda if I would work on his hot rod. Now this car has been to everyone else in these years, but who does he call when he's really in need...

    So I've got an MSD 6al box, and an MSD Distributor and coil. The MSD box itself is hooked up and should be just dandy. My question is how do I wire up my ignition switch/starter/alternator? I've got the switched signal going to the MSD box, but what connects from the ignition switch to the...

    Hey there folks, after my near electrical fire tonight, I've decided that a full rewire of my car is in order. I've looked into this a bit before, and from what I hear, painless wiring is to be avoided (at least for us) because it is rather painful. Anybody know a) a good supplier for a full...

    None of the gauges work on my 73 SS. Ignition, exterior lights, and wipers all work, but none of the gauges, radio, A/C, work at all. It's tricky driving a 454 with no fuel gauge... I don't have a lot of experience on the electircal side of things, so I just wanted to see if you folks had any...

    Has anyone replaced their entire wiring harness (e.g., something like a Painless kit) with the car in one piece (i.e., not prepped for painting or restoration). Obviously it would be easier to do with the car stripped down to its bare bones. I'm curious if performing this replacement with the...
