Doing well Jim, thanks for asking. My weight lifter son is in your part of the country training in Atlantic City with Homeland Security.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Hehe, thanks for the offer, I'm gonna pass. Poor thing only has 8300 miles on it so far, I've only changed the oil twice. It'll get a workout driving across to MO this month though. We finally got the house sold here and are getting our move on. It is a heck of a lot of fun to drive though. So far I've only gotten one speeding ticket in it :P

Care should be taken, as the rubber of the firewall grommet tears easily. Take the brown cover off by depressing the inside tangs and feed it through the grommet (transducer assembly)
In case you forget, white wire goes to the engage

Maff-moments away from fire...found this today in a bundle above the speedo, tape was just slightly marked, but showed wire color. After some probing, pink and red, along with some other colors melted together

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Sorry:Tim, you may have to wait a little more:smoke:

Thanks John for all the help, we just beat that nor'easter, I think it helped wash the pigeon sh!t off...
My hands were frozen by that point, and YOU wanted another strape on it:lol:

Hey, when are you going to post up all that great work you did on your truck. Ive been watching for it

Nice to see that chevelle of yours, next time maybe i can see the whole thing

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

two hoods huh?

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

A deal i could not pass up on, you lookin for one....

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

well, I have two right now... One new with a small ding and one older that needs cleaned up a bit...

probably shouldn't bring a third home:lol:

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

I didn't get a lot done on the blazer, I want to get the scrap metal tire carrier for the jeep done before it snows, it should be done this weekend.
Check my photobucket link below for pics on the blazer. Oh don't forget the door under all those hoods :lol:

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

John, thanks for the link, the video is awesome, truck sounds good....

Wifey, planned a get away this weekend, or else i was going to come down. Hope that door is still hiding under there, i need to cut it down for my quarter doors. My nephew said he can get me another tire, just like the one that is also hiding

Spare tire holder looks like it came out well, far better welder than me.

Hey, are those parts taking up to much space? If they are i will rent a truck to pick them up

Heard from Dave?

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

AAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Pink wire melted all the way back to the ignition switch......thank goodness for the classifieds

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Sorry to see the melted wires. I had to rewire nearly my entire 66 El Camino under dash harness due to the same thing. Yours looks like much less work but it still sucks to have to do.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

I think this was the culprit of the melted wires, 3 wires were spliced into 2....just bad timing and all, with HO HO HO around the corner.


Hoping to make one good harness out of the two that i will have in a week

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Thanks for the encouragement, still got the el camino?

Luckily, it only collected the one red wire, rest of the wires were stuck, but able to separate

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Ok, had some time on sat.,combined my harness and the idiot lite harness to make one good gauge harness. Seems like the only wires missing were a black, and ablack w/white tracer. Once i plugged them into where they went, i just had to move some wires around on the gauge panel plug

One nice thing about the new/used harness is that it has the neutral safety switch purple, mine was a converted stick shift to auto

Also his fuse holders were not rusty like mine, so heres a big thanks to Chevykevy. Harness was received in a timely manner, and was described in condition received.Even pmd me to tell me he missed something. The heater light was cut, so i just replaced it with mine

Only ended up with 2 extra wires, blue and brown on the gauge panel plug. The blue is for the oil sending unit, and the brown, i think, is for the brake warning lite. So, it seems everything is accounted for, except...35A &35B circuit of a green wire

Also, i would like to thank Warbucket, i now have my '67 chevy and GMC hoods. Not only did he tell me about his secret stash of parts, but he delivered them to my house.....nice to have the time to BS for awhile, too

Ok, enuff of my ranting, pics to follow

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

If you need more wiring, let me know.. I have a few on hand.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

3 pages of cheat sheets, and flattened finish nail, wooden dowel tool for removal of electricalconnectors...plug and play

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Hey, your supposed to be covering my 6:lol::lol: you on duty, congrats on the new position

Ill let ya know on the wire, still have to do the rear half......

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

:lol:

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Ok, i was wrong! Pink and red have a factory splice, its the way that they used to bring the wires from the bulkhead connecter to the fuse block and then up the wiring harness. So, something else caused the pink to melt the insulation...to much draw. Either the electric choke or the starter, anyway, mystery for another day. Ill keep an eye on it

Harness is wrapped with the non sticky stuff i got from M&H, worked out well, and even found a way to wrap the end under itself

Light switch w/rheostat...check
Wiper switch high and low speed...check
Panel lights...check
High beam indicater...check
Turn signals...sorta
Ammeter...not yet
Cruise control...tbd, light works w/panel light
Brake switch...directions for mod. not making sense, but switch works
Igntion switch...check
Oil pressure light...need to mod. since i have a gauge
Cigar lighter...check, first time it has worked since i have owned the truck
Heater control...took a crap on me, rivets broke! thank goodness for the classifieds
Radio...no harness yet

Sample wrap, if you wrap apiece of stiff cord, i used a flat braid, under the last wrap or two, you can pull the tag end under. Then, if you pull on the cord it will come through under the wrap. I like to tie a knot, so it will not come undone

Re: PO has me PO'd

This is the step that doesnt make much sense, posed to be a alignment dimple on the brake pedal bracket...

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Figured out the vacuum bracket, must be aftermarket, no dimple, plus it was assembled backwards....

Ammeter....followed the wire from battery to the posts on the ammeter,got 12.68 volts, must be bad
WTB post coming to the classifieds

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Looking good Jim, automotive wiring kicks my butt. I don't understand it.
