    The amount wiring is not really an issue if its actually needed. Looks pretty well sorted, to say the least, compared to a lot of spaghetti ive witnessed in various vehs. What id be concerned about is all the crimp connections. They really should of been heat shrinked without the plastic part on there, or better yet soldered. Vibration and corrosion will be the enemy sooner or later.

    It's not subject to much vibration or corrosion. I think most of this was done in the 1970s-80s, and he's been driving it around town since then, and it still works.

    Lots of relays! the car has a clutch pedal ***ist, and lots of other neat doo-dads.

  6. Is that short piece of old brown plastic hose between the two gauge cables for water in the vent channel ? Looks short but might be the angle of the photo.

    I don't remember how it works, but it pushes the clutch pedal when you move a small lever on the shifter. RoboRodder is the brand name, I don't know how old it is.

    I can try to get pictures next time I see Bill....and his car...
