back to business

The car is back in working condition

Wiring is all set, the motor primes and starts right up. Every wire has its place or has been removed, I wired in a consult connector in case i might need it further along the line.


It's still a bit stinky but i'll have to put that off for another day

My car is a fortress of bad wiring boobietraps

Today is the third day i've taken time out this week to work on the wiring. The wiring job from earlier last year has a lot of loose ends and bad connections that i have to go back and redo. So far in this venture i have de-pinned about 20 wires that were cut and left to hang out the back of the clip and unwrapped a couple harnesses. I'm going back over diagrams to figure out why certain things haven't been working.

The reason for this is that earlier last week i got stranded downtown because the source power to the fuel pump went out. Luckily my dad brought down a gator wire and pocket knife so that i could rig a hot lead to drive it home.

I am determined to get this car wired up properly so that its reliable.
