Back to the work accomplished but no photos mode.
Started the wiring with the EZ-wire kit today.
1. Nice quality and the wires are clearly marked.
2. Directions suck. Er ah, that is, they don't show you anything about where things go.
3. the wires "are" bundled in sections.
a. under hood
b. rear of vehicle
c. under dash
e. etc......................
4. Even if the wires are labeled, some of them don't make much sense. I have one labeled
fan -fan. I can only assume this one takes power to the radiator fan solenoid. If anyone knows for sure, let me know.
And I'm still trying to figure out the connections to the Gen II Vintage Air unit and the controls. I think I got it, but the key words are "I think".
I want to go on record that EZ-wire is NOT the only wiring kit with sucky instructions. They're all like this.
*Attention all you manufacturers and providers, I'm available to do a technical writeup at a modest price. God knows, you all need it.
FYI
I labeled each wire by section with a piece of tape printed with what the wire says. I'm freaking old and I need a magnifying glass to read the labels. Take a little time and tag the wires now. Its going to save a lot of time later.
Next, we decided how we wanted to run the wires to hide them as much as possible.
Using existing holes in the firewall and rubber grommets we ran the dedicated wires to each side of the truck inside the firewall to limit their exposure in the engine compartment.
We are using the original headlight wires to control the new relay headlights and those will be mounted on the drivers side on the core support on a special aluminum panel I made. All the wires going to the rear of the truck now exit the drain hole inside the cab floor under the seat (thru a sealed with a grommet) and to the rear inside the frame channel.
The motor control wires (coil, tach wire, temp and oil pressure senders and compressor wire et al are also on the drivers side.
The starter wire, alternator feed wire, (those F*ing fan/ fan wires I'm still not sure of) etc are all on the passenger side. All these wires are secured to the big #10 A/C line for support with plastic wire ties.
We ran the wires for the power antenna feed and the dome and map lights up the A and B pillars on the drivers side and routed the main power wire to the fuse block inside the firewall.
Sound complicated?
Not really, just a little more involved because even though it's going to be a serious driver, Tweety is "kind of a show car" and we want to keep everything clean, simple and hidden as possible. I'll take some photos next week and maybe it will start to make a little more sense.
All the wires are hanging loose pending our final decisions as to wire locations and attachment points but all the wires are not in the general section of the truck where they'll terminate.
I'll try to document what goes where and why so maybe this can help someone else down the road.
Er ah....... I taut I taw a puddy tat.
Ciao, y'all.
