For some reason I don't see a labor time quoted for the wiring harness on that car in the book here, but I would imagine its not very easy at all...

most cars like ours are somewhere between 10 and 15 hours worth of labor, maybe more...

I would give him 2 days for sure...

Anytime... I try to use the resources I have access to that not everyone does...

When not available, there's a good chance I've been there done that anyway and can tell you from memory for the most part...

Possibly if you've done it a few dozen times... I'd rather someone take their time on it, and I know book time is something like 10 hours... Man, I wish I had access to Mitchell like I used to... Neither Chilton or Motor has labor guides for the engine harness...
