  • It's my least favorite job in the shop today- wiring. This time around we skipped the Amazon Special and ordered a kit from ‪@painlessperformance‬ and I was surprised at how dummy proof it was- even for a hack like me! Now lets get this thing wired so we can get to driving.

    I love wiring. It's east but, ever since I was declared legally blind, it makes doing the job a lot harder and it takes 3 or 4 times longer to get the job done. Yup. I build cars I'll never be able to drive on the street. BTW: 55-57 Chevy car rear end axles interchange with your trucks rear end giving you a 5 X 4.75" bolt pattern.

    I never used anything like that. I always used a combination of stock wiring and custom made wiring. On my first car, a 1963 Nova SS, back in 1975, I accidentally shorted something out, and destroyed over half the wiring in the car. I put it back together piece by piece, and changed a few things. I made my own fuse block. I ran a completely separate circuit for everything. I ended up with a lot less wiring than what it originally had. Carbureted cars with no backup lights crank windows, and no 4 way flashers don't need complicated wiring. The ignition switch was broken, and I just used a pushbutton starter switch and a toggle switch to turn power on/off to the ignition. I had a long toggle switch panel under the dash, and every switch was marked with that old school label tape from one of those label makers with a round dial and a trigger to make each letter.

    That harness is slick. I had a 51 Ford years ago that had wiring trouble, so I ordered a book on wiring Going to try and rewire that car. This was in the early 70's no harnesses to be ordered off the net(ha ha). Me replacing that harness with spools of wire was never going to happen, paid a man to do a patch job and just drove it till I traded it off back to the man I bought it from.

The 4 door 55 was in excellent shape but was worthless back then. I got a junkyard to haul it away for free. I had no place to store it so I just gave it away. It would have made an awesome ride. :(
