Anyone got a line on where I might find a complete wiring diagram for a '53? Any input would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks in advance!
Put it on ebay search,they have full color 11X14 laminated diagrams available,makes it real nice to read and if you get dirt or grease on it ,just wipe it off.I got one for my '54 thumbs up!
Concours Parts has a wiring diagram 800-722-0009. Not sure if it's available, but for later cars 56 and later) there is an electrical manual that shows how everything goes together. Might want to check this with Concours.
I gave up on the stock wiring and gutted it for a Ron Francis kit that completely removed all the problems with that I had with the stock. Well worth the peace of mind... My wiring was full of others "fixes" and poor ideas.
If you are going to do a total rewire click on "The Alliance" at the top and check out Rebel Wire there are a lot of kudos to these guys here on the HAMB,about 1/2 the price of Ron Francis and "just pick up the phone" tech help.If you are going 12 volt and making upgrades like I did just gut out the old wiring and replace it all,best way to do the dash is take it out.If you rewire with a kit the stock wiring diagram won't be of much help.
Thanks...She's already converted to 12v but its half-***ed...half original wiring,half new..straight up clusterfuk!! Haha! Appreciate the input everyone!
