Default Re: S197 Mustang Wiring Help???

My 68 coupe is a street/strip car and I can tell you that trying to maintain separate street and race wiring is a true headache. All of the street wiring wants a fuse box of some sort that is capable of recognizing factory wiring harnesses and connectors and a race circuit box isn't designed for hazards and blinkers and the like. I scrapped all the stock wiring and went with a 16 circuit universal Muscle Car setup from Painless Wiring. By now I have added enough extra stuff that it's a mix of my wiring and Painless stuff. It's no where as neat at what you have right now, but everything works. With my aftermarket gauges and switch panels, it resembles the cockpit of a fighter jet.

My advice is to lay everything out on paper. Decide what you want and what you need, then make a list. Design your wiring ahead of time and avoid the headaches I have given myself by making it up as I go along.

Good luck and keep us posted.
