Howdy  Hans,
	I havent tried any of the aftermarket wiring harnesses, but I have 
custom built the harnesses from the fire wall out.  I used seven conductor 
trailer cable, laid it on paper with my trusty IH wiring diagrams and went 
nutz with the soldering iron and a continuity tester (ohmmeter).  No 
problems since.  With the engine harness, seriously consider the addition 
of a remote starter solenoid.  If you go with Painless or someone like that,
 that a close look at using a F*%d  fornt harness, it already has the set 
up for the remote soleniod.  No matter what you decide, and especially if 
you decide on Painless, I'd like to see you share your results on the 
digest.  Wiring is usually a big cause of distress amungst most IH (Scout 
or Pickup) restorers.
Thanx,
Layda,
