IMO a slow methodical approach is enough to assure a good job. A few
inexpensive tools and no special skills are really needed -- mainly just
a careful and thoughtful execution. I was fortunate enough (?) to have
the car tied up at the world's slowest bodyman when I got my new harness
so I had many months to be ready for its return.
I made an actual size cardboard mock-up of the dash (as seen from the
backside) studied wiring diagrams (many versions out there), made my own
diagram of the new harness (from Moss), stripped wires for the screw
connectors & tinned the tips, made the auxiliary harnesses --- hey, like
I said, I had months. After all the prep the wiring of the car was
almost anticlimactic, taking only a couple of hours and everything
working perfectly the first time.
BTW -- I went with the PVC for the reason noted by others -- very easy
to see its true colors.
