Painless wire harness install (MORE PROGRESS)
Started with the install of a painless universal wire harness today. My original harness was chopped beyond repair by the previous owner. The kit i am using is Painless part # 10307. It is a universal harness designed for street rods and customs with limited circuits. My car has an MSD ignition and distributor, no wipers, no heater, no radio and an aftermarket dash with mechanical gauges. I am using the suggested GM wiper switch (more on that later) and re-using my factory keyed ignition. The kit is designed to be used with a GM steering column.
I cut off the factory steering column pig tail and installed a universal 8 pin connector.
here is what i started with.
then i crimped on my new ends.
here is the new connector installed with heat shrink on the wires.
Next I installed the head light switch in the dash. I modified the factory bezel from my mopar switch to fit the new switch. Once i change the knob you will never know that i used a GM switch.
I finished the night working on my mounting point for the fuse panel. I am going to be mounting it on the driver side kick panel area. it will go on the wall that the air box used to be. here is the mount that i made. it is not finished and will have a bracket that bolts onto the fire wall.
