Have you looked at a late model LBC wiring diagram? Notice the 26
color codes? And what the diagram doesn't show is routing,
lengths, wire gauge, and taping (that alone will take 2 days). If
you don't solder all connectors, Irv's prophecy will haunt you.
Salvage your old one or buy new, and it looks a lot better unless
you are doing the kit car look.
