Default Re: Wire harness
Chevrolet mounts the Alternator on the Drivers side of the engine and with this placement vs a GMC w/ pass side mounting, it did not makes sense to mount the voltage reg on the inner fender like GMC or have a single harness, so Chevy made a harness to work for the application. A 1960-1962 GMC harness would be for a generator and have different wires for the generator than an alternator harness - a 63-66 harness would be for the Alternator. As far as I know you have to find one in a salvage yard if you want a correct GMC harness. Not sure why you think the 1964 repop harness would not work on any 60-66 V6 engine if you are running an alternator?
