Anyone know a source that sells spools of wire in all kinds of colour combos?

I'd like to completely custom wire my engine bay. But doing so with just 5 different coloured spools isn't going to work.

Basically, I want to replicate the wiring colours that Chrysler used.

Engine harness suited soley to my car.

87 LeBaron
2.5 Turbo
SMEC
Fuse box instead of fuselinks
custom front lighting
etc...

I should also point out...

I bought a Shelby Lancer harness and converted it to the '87 bulkhead plug.
But when I try to lay the wiring into standard locations, it doesn't really fit.
To connect a ground lead to the head, and the water temp sensor, the harness is still about 8" away from it's proper location at the front motor mount.

Is the engine bay in a Lancer so different in shape to the LeBaron?

I used the fuse box idea as well. DON'T buy the cheap ones, they caused me grief after a couple of years. I've been think of going to a modern power distribution box with more relays and fuses. Something like out of an 98 Caravan style where the fuelpump, coil etc would have it's own relay. Right now I have the fuelpump + injectors wired into a seperate old style rad fan relay. I too, seek the info you're looking for.

Not really... Sounds like a fun project, I hate wiring, LOL!

I wonder if this wouldn't be such a bad start... http://www.diyautotune.com/catalog/megasquirt-wiring-bundle-1239-long-p-101.html?osCsid=4e3ec0eb5d52bef898097021e53ba3de

The built harness looks like it includes 18 color coded and labeled wires... I'd imagine this includes just the same. 12' for 40 bucks sounds decent
