We changed out the dash lights in Bob's 71 C10 here a while back. Probably the same bulbs and plastic holders. All I did first was go over the...
Thanks, It kills me that it's at my house and I can't wire it without him there. I did run a heavy ground wire all the way to the back for the...
Hey guys, I know this is random, but I got this new tool to play around with and thought it was pretty cool. It's a resistance substitution box....
If you use the exciter wire, just put an inline fuse in there. It comes off the accessory bus bar in the fuse panel unfused. Either of the 2...
The Ford hazard switch usually has about 4 terminals on it, 1 for the brown hazard wire coming off the flasher (that's the wire in the kit), and...
The only wrap we've got is the Techflex F6 braided nylon. You might check out wirecare.com they're pretty reasonable on prices and have a lot of...
Right, you should be good to go!
A Pertronix ignitor kit has 2 wires, a red and black wire coming off of it that runs to the + (red) and - (black) terminals on the coil. Where...
Seems like I've read somewhere about using a graphite pencil, to see if the spark goes toward or away from the graphite, to see if you needed to...
It should still be marked + and - on the coil. The coil or ignition wire would go to the +, distributor wire to the - for points, + and - for...
The Cole Hersee version of the GM headlight switch has both terminals, a park that goes out, and an extra terminal up front that is on the same...
Sorry, been out working on the shop truck today, so the keyboard is getting properly lubricated right now I've had guys do that before, move the...
I think Rich B is right, that brake light terminal would be a constant hot, since it comes off that brass strip that runs off the battery...
The ignition switch wiring should be fine. It should just be an off-on key switch, so with the key on you're sending power to the fuse panel,...
I rewired a 62 Buick Electra convertible for a friend earlier this year and used our 16 circuit kit. It was a mess, the only thing I left was the...
Sorry, I started posting more tech online and got a little swamped, lol. The wiper wire will be fine to use, it comes off the Ignition side of the...
All good advice from everyone here. Since it's just a brake light you don't have to worry about resistance (since it won't flash, just burn solid)...
Sounds good, hope you found some useful information on here. If you need anything just let me know.
It's packed up and about to ship out Larry, Thanks again!
Here's the short answer. There's a main power wire that runs from the battery and feeds the fuse panel (constant hots) and the ignition switch....
Only about 5 wires running to the rear on most. Tail light, left and right rear turn, fuel sender, and 3rd brake (which you probably wouldn't need...
No problem Larry, I'll work on it. Thanks again
Only the power wires go to the fuse panel. Most wires just run from switches out to lights, or sending units to gauges, etc. So for the headlight...
No problem Larry. I'd do the same thing and wouldn't forsee any issues, but sometimes you mention splice and people get offended I like to stagger...
If you don't mind splicing them, just let me know how long and which wires you need. I'll price it out and see what size box I can get it into....
What wires do you need, Coil and Start? to run from the ignition switch to the coil and ignition switch to the solenoid? Honestly, if you're...
All that is just extra in case you need to tie up the muffler, haha. Just kidding, you're looking at lights (park, tail, dash, high and low beam),...
Hey guys, been covered up lately. We don't do anything with cloth covered wire, ran into that a few times. I usually recommend the same American...
If the labeling is right, the Brown IGN SW IGN would go on the same IGN terminal as the coil. The 2nd Red IGN SW PWR may not be needed if it's...
You are correct sir! I happen to have a diagram for that: [ATTACH]
