65 Dart Wagon Conversion to a Sedan Delivery

Prior to my surgery I constructed and routed most of my headlight, turn signal, parking light and horn wiring. I am using US-made copper stranded wiring with a vinyl outer covering, no Chinese-made wiring please. I still need to connect the headlight wiring from the switch to the relays and the output wiring from the relays. All this wiring still needs connectors for the bulkhead connectors and eventually wrapped in the non-sticky harness tape.

So I have been downstairs the last 2 days for a couple if hours each day working on the engine compartment wiring. I am trying to use the 65 factory color codes and wire gauge where as possible on most of the wiring, upgrading sizes where needed. As I am adding HEI and a modified ballast resistor, i need to make adjustments to the wiring to tie it all in to my dash harness.

I have made and routed my alternator output wiring to the maxi-fuse and relay panel (not yet installed) and the alternator field output to the voltage regulator. I find each wire time consuming measuring, crimping and soldering terminals. I started on the other wire from the voltage regulator to the dummy ballast resistor. Since my power wire from the ignition switch to the bulkhead connector is 14 gauge, that’s what I’ll use from the bulkhead connector to the ballast resistor and not the 16 gauge per original 65. That’s as far as I got - custom wiring is slow going indeed!

EDIT: i did go back downstairs after dinner to finish a couple of wires I started - the hot post on the starter relay to the hot terminal on the horn relay and the wire from the horns to the connector on the horn relay. I need to run the ground wire from the horn button (already within the dash harness) and that will be done.
