Good evening fellow roadsterites!
I finally have most of the new harnesses in (both dash and
engine)... and all I can say nicely is "WHAT A DAMNED NIGHTMARE!!!!!"
Apparently, the PO took the time to rewire part of the engine harness.
More likely, they took the car to "Bubba's Garage", who charged them a
fortune to run the fattest wires they could and mated that up to the
original wiring harness!!! No wonder I found fried wires everywhere!
And to make future troubleshooting very easy for the next guy down the
road, they decided to use only two colors.. red AND yellow! They also
happened to rewire portions of the lights as well, using their famous
red/yellow combination!! ARRRGHH!!!
Ok, that being said and a bottle of beer later... I am very happy to be
installing a new harness in the car!! With some donor parts from
another car, I should soon have my wifes '67 back on the road by
tomorrow morning!! Thanks for listening to my PO rant!
