Rewiring Truck This Weekend

[Bantha]

I am rewiring my '64 c-10 pickup. I got a complete wiring harness from Keep-It-Clean wiring. Basically everything stock is coming out and the new stuff is going in. Hopefully my headlights I just got and the brake lights all work. If this all workd the truck will be street ready!

Anything I should know? Tips? Any wiring diagrams I may need?

Thanks!

The only thing I can say is take your time and use some good quality connectors. That was 2 things. Good luck, Jeremy.

Also----do not hurry---keep it neat
Test individual circuits as you are installing them.
many people get hung up on the turn&taillights---be patient.
use new bulb and make sure you have a solid ground

keep extra fuses handy-----you will make an error somwhere you will need to fix.

points and HEI wire slightly different.
And for a bonus----wire your headlights thru a pair of relays---lights are much brighter and not so much electrical current is going thru the headlight switch.
Headlights pull a lot of amps.
If you don't have one already----use a volt gage and bypass the amp meter.
ammeters are testy and can cause fires.

I checked them before I sent them......worked fine

And as said above take your time, and if you get stumped just stop and ask for help if needed.

also, make sure you have good clean grounds, grounds are good.

Take your time. I just bought wiring harnesses from m&h electric. they caome with all the factory connections. So that made it real easy.
