LOL, I didn't' track that you are the spark plug wire guy ....

Maybe you shouldn't do any soobie wiring harness for yourself ! 

I would just say that it's not quite safe to assume that just because a
professional did it that it's right.

Some are much better than others I'm sure. YMMV as it were.

>> Yes, and...you're overlooking the 'knowledge factor' about having done
your own harness and thus being more able to deal with your sobie-vanagon if
there's a problem someday - you'll understand the system better, plus you
know the wiring harness will be done very carefully that way, by doing it
yourself. 

-        just other factors to consider is all I'm saying. <<

 

hmmmmmm. I dunno about that.  Even if I DID solder the 2000 (I don't know
the real number) connections myself I don't see how that would  help me when
my van breaks down in East BF.   Also, me doing it "very carefully" is still
probably not as good as one of the vendors that do it all the time.  I've
actually helped someone install a hard drive, format it, install an OS and
then their applications over the phone. I would never expect them to do it
all again on their own from memory.  Anyway, 3 hours ago I accidently
swapped the coil plug with the #3 cylinder plug, I would not trust a wiring
harness I did myself. ;)
