BruiserOutdoors, We will consider changing the loom on the next run. The plastic loom is honestly a better product protection wise but I do agree it is not as attractive.

DirtDonk, Well said. Tach wire is included in our harness, as well as a super easy wire diagram that lets you know what wires are constant 12 volt, What wires are key on power, And where the grounds are located. Super easy connection to Fuel Injection of any kind.

Thank you! I will give you a call when I am getting close to ordering which could be next week. Now that we are starting to get some 70F+ temp days I will be ready to start tearing the wiring nightmare out of my Bronco.

Nick can answer for sure, but I can’t see why it wouldn’t be. Pretty much any body harness would work.
You need to lay out the chassis harness, lay out the engine harness, see how they would best be tied into each other, and work the spaghetti factory into a piece of fine art!😉😁

Any common EFI conversion/swap into an old vehicle is typically using a stand-alone engine control harness and computer.
This means all that the body/chassis harness has to provide are:
1. switched power (usually 12V in the ON and START positions only)
2. constant power (usually added by the installer)
3. copious grounds (also mostly supplied by the installer)
4. A START only signal maybe?

Sometimes a tach signal for the computer, but that’s typically in the engine harness, I believe.
Final tally would come from the engine harness builder.
If you’re using a harness from EFIGuy, Garry would be able to provide the full picture.

My 68 has a full Explorer swap deftly handled by the old plain Jane Centech harness. This new harness should handle all those duties and more.
Maybe 904Bronco can chime in with his experiences using Centech and Explorer harnesses to give an idea of any special needs that might crop up.
This is what I kinda thought. But I figured I would get the experts involved thanks!

Practice up on your install, might contract you out to install the one in the new project I just took in, lol

Nick have you given thoughts to harness sections, like just the instrument cluster section, as example? Some of us have installed someone else’s harness and had to reuse some of the connectors and now having some issues.

I am not sure I am following you? Do you mean make a replaceable gauge cluster harness section?

yes that would be it. I get it would be a harness that would be plug and play with the cluster and would just be a cluster of wires on the vehicle side that would need to be connected. Another option would be to offer the connectors that could be used to repair an existing harness. I hope that makes sense.

I ended up using an autometer gauge harness then attached to the Painless harness. Dang I wish this harness had been out when I bought mine.

100% I will work on that.
