bhclark Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Can anyone direct me to a source for a wiring harness for a 1940 Buick Special? I can't decide whether I want to stay 6 volt or go 12, but am leaning towards 6 volt.I'm looking for an "affordable" harness! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />$ about $750 is what I've seen so far.....at that price, I think I'll have to keep patching the wire at this point.........

RocketDude Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I would stay with 6v, and go the patch method, at least until you get it running. Find out the condition of the engine, etc, before embarking on a $750.00 fix. There are places out there you can do better on price, but first things first. Get the wiring straightened out enough to get it running, see what you have before throwing money at the wiring problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan O Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Hello - I have a similar problem in that I need a harness for my '49 Buick Roadmaster Sedanette. Do you know a source for any kind of harness? Even the $750 versions? I can't find anything and mine is turning to dust. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketDude Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Here is the guy I plan on using. I spoke to him on the phone, and ordered his catalog. He is most impressive. He guarantees his systems clear throught the next few owners of the vehicle. I think you will find the price much better than the $750 mentioned above... Depending on what you want. He has 6 to 12 conversions, motor home kits, it looks like he covers the whole spectrum Give him a call, get a free catalog...www.RonFrancis.com 1(800) 292-1940 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42crazy Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Does anyone know if a '39 Century wiring harness is the the same as a '40 Special, if its the same, I have an extra one I would be willing to sell for a good price. Its all tagged, and new still in the box. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palbuick Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I just printed a list of wiring harnesses off site www.riwire.com/catalogs/40/cat21.htmLooking for harness for my 40 60 series, they also had 40 40 series. Complete harnesses and 11 different assemblies.Jim Schilf palbuick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhclark Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 riwire looks like it's about $870 once you add all the harnesses up. You do have to order each individually, right, the main harness is only for the engine, dash and headlights, then everything else is sold separately?
