74 Duster
Between excessive heat and 40 plus years of butchery, only one way to deal with wiring in this condition - replace ALL of it. Bit the bullet and bought a "Painless" 21 circuit system. What you see is just the engine compartment wiring. Under dash isn't much better. Someone please tell me what these two components are. Thanks, John Ok, just finished my total rewire with the "Painless" wiring kit. No, it aint painless. After 40 + years of replacement T/S , ignition, headlight, and assorted other switches, a lot of the colors didn't match up. Had to use a magnifying glass to read some of the 18 gauge wire printing. Ended up with about 4 wires that I didn't know where they were supposed to go. Kit came with a new single ballast. The 74 came with a dual ballast. Ignition modules are different for both, so I ended up using my dual ballast over again. I opted to use the heavy duty alternator wiring ( 70 amp fuse) system as the car had already been modified with a large GM alternator (internal regulated) - of unknown amp output. Kit came with an awesome wire wrap kit - which I used most of. Here are some before and after pics. Keep in mind that I still have some minor wire routing to do.
