New tubes really add to the general fresh look to the front trunk. I had to make a bolt to hold the back of the winshield wiper assembly in place, but I got everything bolted up this weekend. Next comes the wiring in the dash I guess.
The wire mess looks a bit overwelming. Any advice is welcome. And yes I know the light switches are out of order
Work being done the right way !!!!! Very clean and neat.
Very nice! The factory wiring diagrams are in color, and each terminal on every electrical component is numbered and/or lettered, both in the diagram and on the parts thenselves. Makes it easy! Color diagrams are available on the Pelican Parts website.
Brown is ALWAYS ground, and brown with a stripe is a switched ground. All the rest of the stuff is pretty self explanatory.

I found that laying out the wiring in the car gives you a general idea what
device the wires should go to. The wires are all about the right length to get
where they need to be without a lot of extra length. Get a color diagram from
Prospero's Garage. It is easier to read than the hanes B&W pictures and it is laminated and sweat proof. I think I got mine on ebay.
Here's some tips from an OLDE WORLDE mechanic that I plan to use pretty soon
when I finally hook up a battery to the car.
Put a 3 amp fuse between your battery and the positive wires. That way
the fuse will blow if you have a short instead of cooking your wiring.
Take all the fuses and relays out except the one for the circuit you are debugging.
Add them back one at a time as you work through the systems.
I have nearly all my wiring hooked up so we'll see soon how I did.

When you get done you will be required to change your screen name , from
"Panel Billy " to Cool 914 Billy.
Great job so far , be proud of it and your work!! Dave
Billy,
That is sure looking nice. Those cool wiring diagrams are sure nice too, too bad I'm color blind! . But I have had years of experience tracing wires with an ohm meter.
