Our loyal subscribers (hello!) will remember this LS-swapped Ford Falcon from Dave's Wiring Vlog. When the car left our garage there was still a fair bit of work left to be done and we promised we would revisit it once it was all complete. Well, the car is now all finished and, true to our word we've brought it back to show you what it looks like in all its glory. We also thought this would be a good opportunity to answer some of your questions posted on the Wiring Vlog series. (pardon the dirty hands and fingernails, Dave was in the middle of another wiring job when we dragged him off to do this video) If you haven't seen Dave's Wiring Vlog on this car - start here: ua-cam.com/video/IpNfRaM_P04/v-deo.html
Awesome! I'm about to tackle my wiring for my Nexus and using the flying lead harness. I check these videos every couple of days to refresh my memory so I don't screw up on it lol. Thank you Dave!
Used that mini series as my bible when wiring mine, between the videos an a few emails to haltech was surprisingly simple! Cheers guys awesome product an service
Speaking of roofing screws and cars, I saw a good one the other day , it was an old Chevrolet RV with roofing screws fastening The Hanger bearing to the crossmember for the two piece driveshaft.
Well Dave... you can have it precisely one of two ways... You either come to the conclusion that we deserve more cool wiring content..... Or management is going to make that conclusion for you! :P My personal hope: Complete body and engine harness for a nice restomod FD RX-7 (I might actually do high pitched fan girl screams if you show us that!)
Explain that wideband hack better from one of the earlier episodes. Curious if it is a matter of switching gounds from sensor ground to chassis ground and how that would affect can signal to other components such as a digital dash
Hi Dave, Is there a way to wire up a single coil and retain the use of a distributor on an Rb30 engine, in order to maintain a good spark in say a 400kw power range? The idea of keeping the single coil and distributor setup was simply to keep the engine bay looking more original.
Hi Daniel, I really do like recommending an LS1 coil to replace the factory ignition module and coil. It is a fantastic upgrade ua-cam.com/video/iIDGQIQ8dRI/v-deo.html You will need to run an additional output to control the Tacho wire though.
A guy at Jaycar told me to run a 0 gauge wire from my relocated battery to the front as the resistance of the body would be higher... I think it was a good idea...
Currently operating a LS engine smelting shop, we melt down LS blocks and turn them into souvenir Coffee Mugs, we have melted down about 4,500 Engines so far, send yours in if interested.

Thanks for the feedback:) Comments like yours always make us feel all warm and fuzzy ...
Car turned out great. Love seeing some gory details on wiring up another project or some other in depth projects.
Speaking of roofing screws and cars, I saw a good one the other day , it was an old Chevrolet RV with roofing screws fastening The Hanger bearing to the crossmember for the two piece driveshaft.
Those cloth tapes are just what I need, that tip may have saved me some dollarydoos 👍🏻
Marketing team please ASK DAVE VERY NICELY to do some more please 👍🏴😎
We always ask nicely.
at first.
@@haltech gotcha, refusal is acceptable on the first request,
however on the second request... oweeieeeeeeeeeeee,
Understood....
Good luck Dave 👍
Would love to see another wiring series
Great work

Dave, thanks for the updates... Was Scott making faces behind the camera again?

*wince* tekscrew ground, because that's never going to end badly *twitch*twitch*
Hey Dave, any more info on wiring the trans brake in this car, Solid state relays & pull down resistors?
Cheers
Hi Phillip, Send me a Email with what you are doing and ill see what you are going to need to do.
Thanks mate

Have you got a link for the crimps?
Appreciate all the workmanship but why would the owner choose that model Falcon 🤔
We used to call them tissue boxes
As they say: beauty is in the eye of the beholder:)

Dave kinda looks like a skinnier, more attractive Mike Cotten.
How I know where the “industry standard” comes from.
What a gorgeous car...until you open the bonnet.
Seriously why put a LS in a Ford falcon like that.
It's explained quite aptly in the story: www.haltech.com/ls-swapped-falcon-revisited/
