Default 68 Lectric Limited products

I am considering buying the engine and forward light harnesses for my 68 from Lectric Limited. Can some of you folks comment as to the completeness and correctness of their offerings. If you have early 68 info, all the better!

Thanks!

I replaced all the harness' with Lectric Limited stuff. Great products. Just lay out the harness on the floor to acclimate yourself. Easy money and you just might be surprised how well your car runs with new wiring. I was... 68 L36 Roadster.

I replaced both of those on my early 68 from LL. They were spot on. No expert here, but what early 68 info ya looking for?

They are the only harness's we will install in our shop... Problems are few and far between and when we do have one they are always willing to work with us...

I think you'll get a cheaper price on the forum special side of our site too.

Just did mine on my 74 (both front harnesses) and they worked out great. Was quite surprised what the old one looked like when I took them out. Nothing like finding 40 year old wiring that bubba cracked into a few times. Makes you wonder how they don't burn down.

There really isn't a better choice out there than Lectric Limited. I would also go with Willcox. You won't find better prices on these harnesses.

I have used Lectric Limited harnesses in both of my vettes, great products. Now since most of the suppliers, sell LL harnesses, you may get a better price from one of them. Just make sure it is a LL product.

Another thumbs up for LL and Willcox is the place to buy them. I replaced all 4 harnesses in the 68 and it was an easy install.

Hi aw,
I used a LL engine harness and was pleased.
My only comment is that the blue and yellow wires for the washer pump were about 2" too short.
LL is a good choice.
Regards,
Alan

The fibre optics in my original harness was color coded, not so in the Lectric Limited harness. Still trying to figure out courtesy lamp circuit, always on even with pin switches removed and wires isolated (not being caused by headlamp switch either.) Fittment was pretty decent but, still looking for a couple of gremlins.

I bought a complete front to rear harnesses. I'm not happy, no help from LL. I guess my order was filled on a Monday morning.
