well,
i installed a chevy duty harness in my '57 chevy and it served well until 
now (3 years) now, everythings suddenly gone wrong. i havent touched a wire 
myself, all ive done is take the hood off for body work and now, both 
headlights are burnt out, and ive got a 12v draw. its parked right now, with 
removed hood/grill, splash apron, cowl vent cover, bed, and lights. im 
leaving the front fenders on, becuase there is no rust whatsoever under 
them, ive  poked around for the last 3 years, ive actually tried to push 
though with a screw driver in the common rust out areas, and not so common, 
and cant do it. so everything but the cab and front fenders are comming off.

newayz, back to the reason for this post. the chevy duty harness installed 
in about 2 days (i was 16, and didnt know what i was doing, but it went in 
well) but now. ive got more money, and i have about $620 worth of wireing 
and switchs comming from Ron Fracis. the fuse pannel has EVERYTHING, its 
HUGE, and what i like about it, over painless, is that if i dont need a wire 
at this time (ie, power windows) i dont hook it up, so there wont be a coil 
of wire stuffed under the dash. when i get it all done ill tell the list how 
it installs,.. and if anyone out there has installed their advantage plus 
harness, please ping me on or off list, id like to hear about your pros/cons 
and experiences with it.

thanks,
