What'd you need to install wiring harness besides the kit?

Highly suggest Waytek. I had to redo the wiring harness on a Lexus and I used a ton of these

22-18 GA RED SOLDER SPLICE CONNECTOR SPECIALTY BUTT CONNECTOR BUTT CONNECTORS TERMINALS AND CONNECTORS  - Waytek Wirehttp://order.waytekwire.com/productdetail/M37/30966

Best of both worlds. Expensive, but worth it...

Tooltopia has the same crimper that was in the links above--but for the best price of the three. Thanks.

Can anyone say if it'll do the crimps like Cirbo has mentioned though?

I got a new catalog in the mail from them yesterday. Good timing.

It's tough to be sure, but it looks like it will. The first set of jaws in the picture look like they might do the trick.

Thanks man. I ordered the set off of Amazon and will post up when I've got the harness and the crimpers in hand.

 

[Cirbo]

I would appreciate that very much!

Here is the crimper I've been using lately. Designed for crimping insulated terminals. Works extremely well, especially considering its $13 price tag:

These guys are the industry standard for AVIONICS since you mentioned space shuttle tools

the most difficult is the blinker/hazard/brake light dealio

Did mine with the Hwy 15, and I completely agree. The most time consuming was this combo - took a while to trace the wires needed, and not. Didn't help that I started with a bad hazard switch...

Good Luck!

This issue all goes away with the use of a GM column.

is there a particular year/vehicle GM column that works better than others?
i'm about to do the rewire project on my 77 as well, current harness is a rats nest and it all needs to go.
thanks,
Faron

I used a Flaming River column that is built to emulate the GM design.
