New to Old School Posted July 14, 2021 Posted July 14, 2021 Hello everyone, I recently received a 71 Monte Carlo. The body is in good shape but I’m in need of wiring harness for electric windows. I’m looking for window regulators too. This car have a factory A/C but the wiring is missing. To put it all in a nut shell I need to re-wire the car. Any suggestions. Thanks in advance for any help. 1 Quote
Brew Posted July 14, 2021 Posted July 14, 2021 You can get complete wiring kits from lots of vendors. There is a forum for parts seeking & selling as well. The parts place OPGI and many other online stores will have that. welcone & good luck! edit to add: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1968-1972-Chevrolet-Wire-Harness-Upgrade-Kit-fits-painless-terminal-complete-/265113626313?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0 1 Quote
Dtret Posted July 14, 2021 Posted July 14, 2021 You can check American auto wire also. You can new duplicates of the original harness. Keep on eye on marketplace and try searchtempest.com that will get you most all of Craigslist. It may be cheaper for you to find complete doors and pull all the parts out and then sell the doors and glass if there in decent shape. 1 Quote

MC1of80 Posted July 14, 2021 Posted July 14, 2021 Welcome! Looks like a nice Monte to start with. Like others have stated vendors I have used harnesses manufactured by M&H electrical. Found their harnesses to be basically plug and play. 1 Quote
