      Description

      Engine Harness Solution. The Engine Starter Harness, SB, for use with HEI Distributor, 1961, is designed as a precise replacement wiring harness for early General Motors engines. It replaces the original resistor wiring with a standard 12-volt feed and includes a connector for GM large cap HEI distributors to ensure compatibility with modern ignition systems. This harness supports essential underhood functions and maintains factory routing for a straightforward installation.

      Construction and Appearance. Manufactured to original GM specifications, the harness is fully assembled and taped for durability and ease of installation. It follows OEM color coding and layout, designed for a direct firewall connection and routing through the engine compartment, providing a clean, professional appearance consistent with factory standards.

      Installation. Installation requires no modifications or drilling, as the harness plugs directly into the factory firewall connector and follows the original routing paths. This design ensures an easy installation process suitable for both professional restorers and experienced enthusiasts.

      Application. This harness fits 1961 Biscayne and 1961 Impala models. It is specifically modified for use with 12-volt HEI ignition systems in these vehicles. Use with a GM large cap HEI distributor or replace the connector as needed when using alternate distributor types.
