Things you Find
Started to tidy up the wiring in my Barracuda68 ....got to the bulkhead plugs and saw some daggy electrical tape hanging off the back of the plug...on further investigation I found this little gem ( see pic) . This raises questions....I tried to get the spade from the block to fix the RHS wire, looks like the fusible link "soldered" to a piece of bare thin wire into the back of the plug, the other end goes to that plug in the pic...THICK red wire ...but it wont budge and Im scared to damage it as Im across the pond from parts, Australia...I assume this wire goes through the bulkhead and to the ammeter + side? And is ultimately the power wire for most things inside the car? If this IS the case, I might run a separate wire through a grommet to save me some heartache
Also theres a one wire alternator on this 360, I would assume I wont be needing the voltage reg...can I just remove that or do the wires either side need to be joined for some reason? The wiring in this car is a headache...its been chopped and "soldered" in a couple of places...Im running MSD stand alone so dont need the majority of other ignition wires in this car either, and am just trying to make sense of the areas Im unfamiliar...and thoughts gents?
