Re: burb trailer harness?
hey all.....managed to get the brakes bled on my 72 burb 20/2wd (stainless braided hoses front and rear, valvoline synthetic dot4+ fluid) and i "partially" used a cheap flat 4 harness with the running light shoved into the back of the plug on the left rear light and the ground wire tucked under the grounding screw that is right there. i had the side panel out anyway (bought a tan one on ebay and painted it blue with paint from lmc). i snaked the harness down and out under the tailgate while i was using it. i will do something more permanent in the spring, but atleast i had a light on the dolly when not hauling anything (had a spare battery with me so i could run the parking lights on the s15).
it was dark and cold by the time i got going but the truck ran pretty good (still needs tweaking). it was interesting towing a big load with a small 307 v8 and a manual transmission, but i managed.... i think it was more a running issue (plan to replace the troublesome rochester 2 bbl with a q-jet and then will be going to a 406sbc) i also think the brakes need a little more bleeding or something because the rears locked up frequently even though i was taking it very easy.
