Are you going to want a stock type harness or an aftermarket harness? What is your plan for the car as I noticed you are wanting to install electric windows.

Thanks for giving me your input. I climbed under the dash and found out it ALREADY has an aftermarket wiring harness in it. I guess I ill have to figure out the circuit wiring colors on my own. I JUST bought the car on 3/24 and am trying to get familiar with things on it. I am a retired Automotive Mechanic and after pulling wrench’s for the last 50 years and needed something to “tinker with” besides my Chopped ‘32 3 Window Ford Coupe.

Most aftermarket harnesses have the wires marked.

Classic car wiring does a nice job on the schematics. Has too sizes available . Get the large one.
