Four initial points on my 85 El Camino!
- I cleaned up and painted my engine bay and installed a Sniper EFI/Hyperspark Distributor Kit for my SBC 350 engine-swapped El Camino. A lot of work to get to this point!
- In cleaning up the engine bay, I discovered that almost every piece of the AC/Heater System needed repairs or replacement. Plus, the wiring was in pitiful shape. So...I removed everything, opting to install a Vintage AC System (further downrange).
- The in-line electric fuel pump included with the Sniper EFI Kit was loud...but worked okay. I am now installing Holly's in-tank fuel pump (#12-335), but I can't seem to find the ground issue causing my stock fuel guage to read properly. Voltage is 4.37 at the sender.
- Wiring in the cabin, engine bay and likely elsewhere was/is horrible. I've refreshed all of the engine-related wiring.
Now...my question: Wiring issues seem to pop up all too regularly. I have no wiring experience to brag about, but I think it is a project I need to tackle. I'm looking for the simplest and most efficient complete wiring kit. What wiring kits are best for 85 El Caminos?
