65 Dart Wagon Conversion to a Sedan Delivery
My bodyman friend came by to see if he could get anything done. He finished with the passenger fender, got It blocked, primed and in paint.
my afternoon was spent on the engine compartment wiring. I found i needed to have some of the components installed so i could verify the length of the harness before wrapping it. Reason is I’ll be using a modified 65 Dart harness engine harness and will add a fuse and relay center
Which will house headlight relays and maxi fuses to protect various aspects of the electrical system.
In my parts storage I found 4 starter relays
3 horn relays
A couple of electronic regulators that look like 69-earlier regulators
and a brand new washer pump. No, it’s not the high priced Chrysler version but the identical cheaper 65/66 Mustang version
I selected a starter and horn relay and installed them along with a voltage regulator and washer pump with the proper cad plated hardware.
Because it’s so easy to install the front brake line now rather than later with the engine installed, it was a no brainer to do it now. While I was on a roll, I installed the firewall to engine ground strap, the brand new water control valve and the AC drier bracket that was powder coated by our own Leanna @CudaChick1968. I added the rebuilt drier that Classic Air rebuilt a couple of years ago and will do the final adjustment when I install all the AC lines.
