Wiring help please
Sorry for the delay in response...it has been too hot here and we are hiding from the heat.
I must be missing something when I look at the harness.
I know I need wires for the horn, blinkers, running lights, headlights (high and low), distributor, coil , starter, auxiliaries and battery but there seems to be far more on this harness.
I am moving from a /6 to a 360 ('75 Duster), electronic ignition. I am using aftermarket gauges that have there own wiring and I am tossing out any pollution controls.
Is there anyway I can simplify this mess? My back up came from a friend (fabo member) from Ontario and he said it was complete. Perhaps I should set them out back to back ?
Clyher, you read my mind. What I had planned on doing after I cleaned it was to string out and nylon tie.
I think several times and sit on my hands a while before I cut or modify an original unless I have a perfect backup. I had thought that I could lay out logically a "left side" and a "right side" starting from the three major connections in the middle but it doesn't look like it was designed that way....hence my comment about trying to do a layout like that cutting / splicing back the wires that didn't fit that logic..
I am slightly confused with my new ballast only have 2 plugs vs 4 and the new wiring that goes with my new electronic (orange) ignition.
I looked into a "painless" and they are anything but. I wish we had studied the harness more before we cleaned but it was just gross. The cleaned wires look great actually...maybe the tar preserved them :)
What would my next best move be ?
Thanks
Ian.
