fusion Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Hey, I am wiring my 280z from scratch. I removed the original harness from the car and am going to get a Painless chassis kit. I will be running a Holley standalone engine harness. I was thinking about getting this version: https://www.painlessperformance.com/wc/10101 It's for a GM keyed column and doesn't come with the connectors like the much more expensive Pro kit. I am assuming I don't even want the GM connectors in the Pro kit anyway, I am hoping to reuse the ones from my Datsun. Do people have much luck reusing the 45 year old connectors? I'm assuming the plastic connectors are Datsun specific and aren't widely available for cheap? Has anyone found a source for the just the metal male/female crimp parts that go inside the plastic connectors? I'm assuming those are standard parts that can be bought cheaply.

walkerbk Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 The original connectors are actually very good. I had good luck reusing them and then bought extras and connectors from Amazon for less than $20, they are actually very common connectors (the only common part on the datsun).

fusion Posted August 21, 2022 Author Share Posted August 21, 2022 Do you happen to have a link to what you bought from Amazon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
