Looks like all his ads are about the same, high prices and
out of focus pictures. https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/search...archid=4667816

I had a similar experience on epay one time, the used harness i installed went up in pluum's of smoke...I went to Sac ford & bought a new one after I pulled the other out, installed the new one in 4 hours!!

i bought a complete harness headlight to tail lights set up with glass fuses, 12V, turn signals and a spare wire to the rear for an electric fuel pump as a back up. all new pigtails for the headlights, tail lights, dome ect ect. everything i needed from Chris Olsen at classtech correct colors, loom material ect. first class top notch harness. he is also going to build the one for the 32 5w . i should have went to him from the start instead of giving James Monroe my hard earned money for GARBAGE for what he claimed to be SHOW QUALITY plus ripping me off on the shipping.

My last 40 I used Tyree Harris and was very pleased with original type wiring. The Sedan I'm building isn't going to be original 6V but instead 12V with OHV engine (289 3spd). What was the cost for the harness you bought headlight to tailight.
Also good to hear things are on the right track for you now.

around 700.00 and its well worth it, but i guess if you add the 230.00 i gave the clown in Texas for burnt garbage i got 930.00 and a lesson well learned.

the harness im going to have made for the 32 is different from stock other then the original style loom. the car is 12v with a 54 cadillac motor and a 33 plymouth dash cluster. im going to make up a dummy loom and mail it to chris and he will build me a new harness with all period correct colors and terminal ends to fit.

james monroe tyler texas, goes by ajohn . the ad is still posted in the classifieds. there is a link on page 2 of this post.
when we contacted him about the problem he was a real smart ass in his reply. told us it served its purpose well in the car he took it out of and when the splices were pointed out he told us there is nothing wrong with a splice . were does a splice fit into a show quality harness as he described it. and to ad insult to injury tells us he would have been more then happy to have gotten what he shipped us for the money. jerk charge 30.00 to ship us a pile of garbage for 14.00

Tyree Harris made me a couple of 1939 RHD looms a while back - no problem.

I strongly recommend Sacramento Vintage Ford. It is excellent! I used the Owners Manual as a guide to install; it was perfect! www.vintageford.com 916-853-2244
