Wiring

[george68hemirr]

Well put power back to the Bird last nite. After a couple of months
of rebuilding the butchered up dash and engine harnesses everything
works except the dash and dome lite. Knew I should of changed
the dash dimmer control. Oh well. A lot of time and patients to
save $500 for the dash harness. Took 2 and made a good one.
The engine harness redid it and rerouted some wires to make
it look neat compared to what it was. Heck even the reverse lite
on the dash works, YEE HAA. Well all I got to do now is finish
bolting dash up and glove comp and put radio back in. But it sure
does look better with the dash back in. At least the harness is
neat and run where it is suppose to be not hanging everywhere.
Never did find the wires that went to the amp gauge???
Replace bulkhead and put on a starter relay for a 4sp and got rid
of the ground wire they had for the one that was for an auto.
Next project, to see if it cranks since I redid the engine harness
with some modifications to it. The car was changed to a 70
charging system from a 69.
At least now when you open the hood you dont see a bunch of sliced
green wires running everywhere. All correct harness and plugs.
Oh yea did I tell you I hate messing with wiring harnesses!!
One good thing was it gave me an excuse to buy a good ohm
meter.

wow congradulations on your new wiring harness....i have to do the same here but not all because i have aftermarket gauges which i all wired new....rewiring is a pain in the butt but if you take your time it can be done right
