Wiring

[Rick]

I will be rewiring my car soon and am struggling to find all the various colors required in the various gauges.

I can find the basic primary colors, which gives me about 8 spools per gauge.  But based on the wiring diagram in the manual I need 10 to 12 different colors.

Any suggestions where I might find what I need?  I appreciate all who would suggest homedepot, lowes, advanced auto, or radio shack but I’ve already checked their inventory in the store and on line and they don’t have variations I need.

Appreciate your help.

JEGS has 14 and 16 gauge in about a dozen colors:

Thanks Bill but I really don’t have the money for a prebuilt harness.  That’s why I’m looking for spools of wire.

I searched on ebay electral wire found several auctions with an asortment of colors.. I didn’t scroll down very far to see if they were offered any other way ..

Paul, you have a real knack for searches.  I was on JEGs several times and couldn’t find the complete list of wiring.  You hit the jackpot!

Thank you!
