Re: The Chase For 8's

I'd sitdown and figure out the bare minimum you need for wiring, then buy one of the quick/E-Z/Painless kits with that many circuits. It's nice to have everything color coded, numbered, and labeled should you have to change things later.

When I re-did the Datsun somehow changing from the OEM harness to the Painless one that has the same number of functions shaved 40lbs.

While expensive for convenience sake if I did it again I would have bought cannon plugs to use at the firewall instead of passing wires through grommets.

If you run all LED lights you can run pretty light gauge wire for the chassis harness since nothing draws any real power.
