Alloy Metal makes their products in the USA

I would imagine your other choice is a product marketed under the Scott Drake brand.

I am installing one now ( Scott Drake ) on a 66 GT350. It was purchased 2-2 1/2 years ago so I don't know if anything has changed since then. Here is what I found so far. Brake light switch connector is crap, can't keep it on the the switch. All the instrument cluster light sockets are black plastic vs OE cad metal. Courtesy light sockets also not as OE. Connectors are close and generally acceptable but slightly different than the OE. Over all good, but many small differences. Unfortunately the original harness was butchered up and not usable or I would have used it. I have spent a lot of time switching light sockets and other items to make the Scott Drake one more like the OE.

Another consideration should be price...you are going to pay 3x or 4x for an OEM harness.

price no object, but must be exact, assembly line, not service replacement. having checked tomorrow, thanks though, and, yep i got a 68 350 also, had for 50 years now, black/ black. and yes, i knew gary campbell. got him started in shelbys. sorry.

Ford built thousands even hundred of thousands of cars per year. Every harness was not the same. Its unlikely you will find a replacement identical to the production used harness. You might get close...

Try to get original FOMOCO

I think that finding a NOS harness in this day and age will be daunting and, if found, extremely expensive.  FWIW, when I restored 6S1487, I used an ALLOY METAL harness and, other than the aggrevation of installing it, I was very pleased with the quality and, most importantly, all circuits worked the first time!

I typically can clean up and reuse original used harness's . They can be made to look like new. Of course I know this is not the easy answer for everyone especially considering shop time if you have to have it done by someone else however it is a alternative.

+1 on the Alloy Metal harness. The wires are the correct size, length, and color. And the connectors are also correct. Function is very good. Quality is second to none. It is best to avoid any and all harnesses made off shore. I have personally use their products and am quite pleased.
