x-faktory shout out to Dennis Powell.

Dennis Powell makes the wiring harnesses for my EFI kits...typically injector and TPS and sometimes complete harnesses, including the engine harness etc....all done to a high standard.

But.... sometimes it is the little things that make me happy......I have a 70T that is an RSR-ish project. Need floors, front pan and so much more,,,,,,I had a couple hours and started to refurbish the rear taillight housings.....the wiring was very crispy, so i asked Dennis (timmy2 on Pelican) to fab up some taillight harnesses for my project.....

Received this week and made me smile......I hope I can finish the rest of the car to this standard....



regards,
al

Dennis completed a engine harness for me when i went from CIS to EFI. The harness was top shelf. Very impressive work.

The only problem with Dennis’ wiring is that it makes all the other wiring look terrible.

I've had the pleasure of visiting Dennis at this shop and seeing how he works.

Something not obvious from looking at all the harnesses is the effort he puts into these. He's very particular about the materials he uses. He's sourcing a bazillion little pieces and wire types from all over the world. When he can't find it he creates custom equipment, tooling, and processes to MAKE many of the parts that go into the harnesses. He's got jigs/fixtures to make sure the length of each wire is right and that the wire curvature goes the right direction. Little details matter with this stuff, and he knows them all...

I have done many things for my build so far and worked with many vendors and enthusiasts but working with Dennis was by far the most enjoyable and fun. As someone who is new to restoration I learned a lot watching Dennis designing my custom harnesses for both my engine and through body amongst all other wiring. Dennis also restored my heater control harness. Highly recommended! Al and Dennis are a great combo!

Dennis pretty much did all the wiring for my fire damaged 70 including a trick MSD harness. Top quality fit and finish throughout. Nice guy to talk to also.
