When I took the car apart, I diligently labeled all the wires under the dash....with masking tape and a pen....which has all faded to unreadable.   OOH, the wiring........The harnesses for the entire front end are in a big cardboard box..sitting on the shelf...labeled "wiring"....that I haven't looked in since 1983 AHhh, probably use what I have. It's in decent shape for wires that old. I'll take a good look at the insulation. There are repops but sometimes they don't get the colors correct and I don't want to spend money on wiring. The harnesses can be rewraped with period correct tape. All the connections will be cleaned, I have extraction tools. And I look at all the crimps/solder joints (I know what to look for since that's what I did for a living). Inspect/clean all the bulb sockets. If something isn't right, it's an easy repair, simple electronics..........THERE'S NO FUKIN' COMPUTERS.    |
