Technical Rebel Wire Harness diagrams and wiring info

Instead of making a bunch of jumpers from that 12 ga wire, I’m thinking of using a bus bar like this one.

 

That buss bar looks like a good choice; guess I'm not used to thinking about modern stuff.

 

I used some sampled from work T&B buss bars on my car. They come with jumpers. One is gauge power, the other is gauge lights.

 

Ok, I think I'm aligned with your requests here. I have my 39 wired to the stock IGN switch and starter button. As much as I despise relays I did need one from the starter button to the solenoid trigger post. I'm using a Mallory dual point, 6V NOS Holthouse coil and a NORS solenoid. I'll be there in a little while and take some pictures how we did it. I also used the stock light switch in the center of the column, the wires below using modern weather proof connectors (hidden inside the frame channel). I'll check back when I get there, maybe we need to DM some pics and clarify what you need. I'm using a Rebel 8 circuit, mid 40s 59A flatty, 12V, Powermaster alternator.

 

Ok, for all who are following this heres some of what I did, the effort being vintage wherever possible. Used the gennie ign switch which gives power to an ign and main panel circuits.
From this..


To this

For lights I used the original "acorn" light switch at the bottom of the steering box. Modern weather tight connectors are hidden in the frame.




And it works like an original in the center of the column.

The starter button completes a ground to a relay that sends juice to the solenoid. You can see the relay behind.

That tickles this NORS Filko solenoid. The logo won me over

Not sure how much of this helps but I kept it basic. Got a radio and heater, and the rest is easily managed by an 8 circuit. Rebel is one of my best decisions on this car. No bs...
