Re: IML: 1966 wire and wiring sources

[Charles Hansen <hansencw@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The shop that's restoring my '59 Imperial sent my old wiring harness  
to YnZ (I think) and they fabricated a new one using the old one as a  
pattern. It has since been installed and I am not aware that the  
restoration shop encountered any problems hooking things back up. The  
car is not finished yet so I can't comment on any final issues with  
wiring. It was a bit pricey though - no surprise about that!
