I hate electrical

I do have a few ballist Resistors ready to go if needed. Right now I am done with the cleaning up of each and every wire and its connector to the 3 bulkhead connectors except for the one I broke. I cannot install it till my damn crimping tool comes and USPS decided it would be a great idea to screw my delivery up. How does the part go from Ma. one state away from me in CT to CT to my town, says OUT FOR DELIVERY and then it says MISSENT and its back in Springfield Ma. again......Maybe today, maybe tomorrow.....I hope to get it some day. I even tried to go buy a crimping tool from Advance Auto and Home Depot cause I am impatient but no luck....I decided to wait it out till mine arrives. I might head to harbor freight and see if they stock one that will work for the packard connectors. How annoying.

I did a frame off frustration on my 74 power wagon and pulled all of that old wiring out from head to toe.. had no interest in using that 50-year-old crap or that bullhead connector which I promptly sealed... I did use my factory end pieces for plugging in the headlights tail lights marker lights and turn signals and also switch the wiring kits Chevy connection to a Dodge connection in the steering column area so if I needed to replace my ignition or my turn signal harness I could just plug it in... The rest of it scrap metal... I used it cheap 20 circuit wiring kit and it had plenty of wire with tons left over to do the entire long bed club cab truck...
I used solder filled shrink wrap butt connections and put it all in wrapped loom... Of which I bought a few different sizes... And colors...
I also purchased a heat gun...
