Wiring harness

There were at least 5 different iterations of the Pantera wiring loom, and I don't know anyone thats done this particular swap. The late cars had extras like a heated rear window, so you'll undoubtably find 'extra' wires, plus the mysterious "starter interlock over-ride box", the yellow box up front. I suggest that NO ONE needs this thing so that alone saves you 11 or 12 wires.

Jack,
With all the problems there are with the stock wiring and fuse block, wouldn't it be better to replace the whole system with something from the aftermarket like a painless harness and fuse block?

Fran, the biggest danger to doing this is, its such a massive labor-intensive job, you can easily lose interest in the project. One engineer I knew, tired of the crummy, failure-prone Lucas connectors in our wiring, decided to change everything to MIL-spec connectors (we worked at Lockheed at the time). After 8 years, the car was still only partway done and I doubt if he'll ever finish it. It has ceased to be a sportscar and became a chore. Sad...
