I installed an American AutoWire kit in my 1969 Mustang. I used the Astro ratching wire crimpers as opposed to the 2 crimpers that AAW recommended. My crimper was about 100 bucks and can crimp damn near anything. The AAW crimpers are nice but only do a few different crimps.
I will offer this advice:
Use a high quality crimper
Get plenty of heat shrink to finish up loose ends and add a clean look
Get wire loom (I got mine from a computer parts store and its VERY nice and makes the harness look factory) Go for the braided like this:
get the loom that has a split down the center and it holds together very nice. I also used black fabric tape to secure ends and brached circuits (same tape I uesd for hockey)
Lay the harness out on the ground and route everything how you feel it should be laid out.
Mark off with a pencil, every step you complete as you go. Dont skip steps
I also used American Autowire for a complete rewire of a 1966 Chevy C10 I restored last year. It was a great product with very good instructions. Instead of just crimping all the connections, I took the time to solder and then crimp. Everything worked the first time I tried it with no shorts or open circuits. Good luck with yours!
