Have you checked with Painless?
They have some harnesses for specific cars of that era. I got one for my 67 Chevy truck specifically. Harness was 67-72 which were all the same harness from the factory. They may have one for that car or at least something based on that same chassis.... http://www.painlessperformance.com/ 800-423-9696 |
yeah, i looked on the site and in a magazine from them, but they dont have any for fords. and another thing ive noticed was when they say -GM column mounted ignition switch- and -GM column mounted turn signal switch- if all there stuff is made for GM cars, then the harness probably would work?

The Painless kit I used for my Cobra build included instructions on cutting-n-splicing to Ford and Chrysler columns. Give 'em a call (or send an email), they should be able to provide an acceptable answer.

They have the generics with the GM column and without. They have so many GM setups because the street rodders tend to use Gm columns and some of the after market columns are setup to use standard GM harness adapters.

I'm sure the painless would work, but why not just get a replica of the original and be done quicker?? The Fairlane/Comet/Torino?Mustang are all extremely similar, if not exactly the same. I'm sure that the Nat'l Fairlane Club could put you on a lead, and if not there are a lot of Mustang Parts Houses out there---I use national Parts Depot (Gainesville,Fla) when I need parts for my GT350. I used the Mustang harness to replace one in a friends 63 Fairlane 500, and it was exactly the same.

I kike Painless's kits. They use high grade wires, spade fuses, have all the accessory circuits you'll want like electric fan and fuel pump. It's not hard, just run all the wires from their final destination back to the fuse box, put them into multi wire connectors to facilitate removal and troubleshooting, and simply connect. A car's wiring is not that complex. Factory wiring looms usually have second rate wires, that are too short to run them where they look better (unseen), and don't have all the circuits you need. And cost more!
