Called the toll free #, got the item number and went online to their site to see the price. Painlesswiring was in the URL but when I clicked on the item and the add to cart, the URL became Shopatron.com. I searched for such an animal, and it supposedly doles out orders to various painless dealers and lots of other products for other companies. No problem except that the company it directed me to was $100.00 more that Summit or Jegs. It won't tell you what dealer it is until you give all your information and credit card #. I called Painless, talked with customer service and she said that their computer guy will check it out. For the new restorer like me, I would of thought that was the price had I not looked at the change in the URL. If it wasn't for my brother in law and his paper cataloge,I would of paid $364 rather than 271. Beware, Brian. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 1,028 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 1,028 | Thanks for the tip Brian...I will be buying a harness soon and Painless is one of the sites I looked at recently

I used an 'its a snap' kit with mini blade fuses and it included the signal flashers and headlight relays. It included plenty of wire and the wire was all labeled every 6" with what it was for, plus it was color coded to match GM so I can add a GM column, auto-tranny and ignition switch, or LS-6 and computer, no problem. I picked it up on e-bay for $100. Same as Maxx I had more circuits than I needed or will ever need since I'm using a 261 and t-5.
