Reply to "Rewiring the Entire Car - Painless Wiring Kit"

Hi Ron,

I am not an electrician, but I was told by one that pure copper is the best conductor in the electricity world -- the corrosion that results is not a problem as it still conducts with no problems. That is why you want copper instead of aluminum secondary wires running from your meter to the fuse box in a house. I do not know about car wiring, but the same electrician told me that the only difference in house wiring is the insulation -- that is what makes one wire better than another in the same gauge is the quality of the insulation on it.

I have also heard that the wiring harness is not the main culprit in the Pantera, but the fuse panel and everything that has a relay on it. Relays may have been state of the art in the 1950's, but the contact relays introduce heat into the electrical circuits, and heat in circuits will always cause failures. The stuff that Pantera Electronics offers is not cheap, but it is state of the art pieces that offer reliability in a modern package that hooks right up with no issues to a Pantera, as his pieces were made for the stock wiring harnesses. And if anyone that buys a car that does not like the Haas upgrade, they can always go back to the original setup as it is just a matter of taking terminals apart and installing the other components -- it is absolutely reversible.
