I know this has been asked alot but guys who own Painless wiring come in!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just ordered a Painless Wiring Engine Harness kit from them which ran me $289.00 and no its not the one with extra 8 feet length, My question is this. How is the quality, anything i should look for before installing, the harness is for 86'-89' TPI w/ MAF. ITs going into an 92' body. IM using an 87 ENgine. Give me as much details as u possibly can thanx

I used one on my 89 RS convt when I put the L98/TPI motor in. The quality is excellent, no complaints other than mine was too short.

He probably cut each wire and soldered an extension in. Does anyone think it's worth the extra $$$ to get the thing 4' longer?

I agree...High quality. I also didnt have the longer harness. I used it to convert an 89 TBI to 88 TPI.
