Hello,
I have turned in several on-line Chevy Duty orders recently restoring my 53 3100 &
gotten perfect service but they ignore my direct e-mail enquiries. I hope complaining won't mess up the good order & delivery service I have been getting.

I am changing out a 216 for a rebuilt 235 &
swapping to an alternator in a 53 3100.
I like the idea of modern fuses but only need
a little bit of room for future circuits.

The Wiring Harness is eat up bad by rats & time & rust ect.

My question is do I need Part # 52-091 ($280) or Part # 52-092 ($300) & do they come with an Alternator harness for use with internal regulator type alternator that is with Part # 52-025 ($100).

How much cost & problem is getting a small fuse block & using it with the $100
harness.

Thanks, Kelly

Hey, Kelly

If you aren't concerned about staying *original* ... do what I did -- the EZ-Wire kit is only $169 and worked beautifully for me, plus it gave me the extra circuits I wanted for AC, etc., etc.

I second what Horvath has to say. I also went the EZ Wire Harness route after looking at Alan's project and I am glad I did.

Yeah the readymade harness is the way to go.
I'm a stuborn do it my way type and I did my own wiring harness with a 197? junkyard fusebox and roughly following schematics in chilton's and etc. It was easy enough but by the time you buy wire and ends and casings and etc your into as much as the harness. I spent way too many hors holding a soldering iron to recommend it.
