I've been told that Mac's offers pretty good original replacement wiring harnesses. Has anyone had experience with their harnesses? I read a post on Tyree Harris but when I went to the website it looked like he specialized in GM products.

There are few company that make good wiring harnesses for early Fords..

Tyree Harris's wiring is first rate in all respects and he offers a wide range of Ford harnesses.

I have Mac's harness's in three of my cars that have worked well except you need to solder the terminals in the light switch where they push on.

I bought a harness for my 48 F1 from Sacramento Vintage Ford and was very happy with it. The instructions were very easy to read and the installation went without any flaws.

I don't know where you got your information on Tyree Harris, but he is my preferred supplier of EFv8 wiring.

I got a Tyree Harris harness in my 36 pickup! when I ordered it I asked if he needed a credit card number, he said that he trusts me. send him a check after I het the harness. I almost fell over in my chair. I put the check in the mail the day I got it. the harness fit very well and works great!

dwick01 · 02-26-2014, 06:11 AM

I saw the same thing Jerry. But I don't think he has a website. I think the search rolled over to a different site. Anyway, that is what happened to me. I didn't notice it until I took a closer look when I couldn't find any reference to Ford.

I just Goggled Tyree Harris and the search came up with a Web site that had Tyree Harris / American Auto Wire in NJ. The site had no reference to Ford Wiring and I didn't see his name anywhere on the site. Other searches showed A Tyree Harris in Bumpass Va. Is Tyree Harris also a dealer for American Auto Wiring? That might be the reason why when I googled his name and his name was tagged to American.

Narragansett is great. Great product made on era machines and great drawings.

Vintage Wiring Harness in Australia made my main loom for RHD application. They were very good to deal with . The only problem I had was the push in plug for the high/low beam light would not fit as it interfered with the edge of the speedo. I ended up grinding the edge off the plug. I used a US taillight one that I had got either from Drake or Carpenter years ago.

FL&WVMIKE · 02-28-2014, 12:04 PM

My vote is for TYREE HARRIS. He does beautiful work and very easy to deal with. You can't go wrong with TYREE HARRIS.
I've bought several harnesses from him, with no problems, what so ever.
