Dirty D - 73 Duster Street/Strip Build
Decided to re-wire the car. The factory wiring had been pretty butchered already and with my plans for the car the majority of factory wiring is not needed. So I ripped everything out except for the rear taillight harness, ignition switch, turn signal switch, and lighting switch.
I decided to go with the Leash Electronics street/strip board and the associated Precision Fabrication harness. You get $5 off if you purchase them as a combo from Precision Fabrication. Whoopee. Money well spent however as it takes a lot of the headache/time out of re-wiring a car. I spent a ton of time planning and it paid off. Created an entirely new front lighting harness, with new sockets, using deutsch connectors throughout. Also created a new interior harness and integrated the rear lighting harness. As of today all the lighting and the ignition switch works as it should. The real test will be the integration of the Holley Stealth/Hyperspark system.
I'm leaving out a lot of the details, but feel free to reach out with any questions.
Factory Harness:
Battery box made out of a toolbox lid I found on the side of the road & a cheap eBay battery mount:
The basics wired up:
Integration of the kill switch:
The Leash Electronics Street/Strip Board: (Ignore the foot)
Wires, wires, wires
Board/TerminatorX/Hyperspark/Start relay mounted on fold down access panel:
Mid-wiring mess
More wiring mess:
All cleaned up:
