<VV> Rewiring

[Anil Mittal]

Hi Paul,
 
      Since I am going through this right now I can tell you that for
what I wanted to do using new stock harnesses along with a Painless
Wiring Highway 21 Kit was the way to go. It is true to do without the
stock fuse block you need only extend those wires to new fuse block from
the existing harness. But I would never suggest using the kit to wire
your whole Corvair. Sure the wiring is in the kit but the repro
harnesses sold for the Corvair are exactly correct and work great. It is
pretty easy to use the stock harnesses as a foundation and add your
circuits on top. Thanks
 
Anil

There may be an easier way. A twenty-one-circuit, twenty-fuse,
street-rod 
wiring harness comes with almost all this work done for you. It uses the

modern, blade-type fuses. The wire color code is GM, plus the function
of 
each wire is printed about every 8 inches, right on the wire. For a 
Corvair, a few wires may need to be extended to the engine, but most of
the 
wires are extra long, so maybe not many. Circuits for all the power 
accessories are included, plus A/C, modern radio, etc. They are pretty 
cheap on eBay. I just rewired our 1955 MG Magnette with one of these 
harnesses. I bought another for my Alfa Giulietta project, too. I don't
see 
any reason I will not use this system on all future projects.
