Great minds think alike. Unfortunately I got rid of all my harnesses and will be doing half of what you said. Either way, ya done good sir, ya done good. I might steal the idea of subsections though. I did find some nice general fuse boxes at Waytek Wire (online) that you might consider, and...
Or, you always make one from scratch and fix all the unnecessary loops and long travels the OEM wiring creates. Either way, you did well considering the age and the quality of spare harnesses the DSM community has on now classic cars.
Figured I would post a preview of what the circuit may look like - labeled parts are subject to change due to availability. Borrowed separate design concepts and molded them into one complete concept. The idea here is to employ, as stated in my previous post, a DRL/Turn Signal System that mimics...
Thanks @ThunderChildUpdate:Currently working on the finer details of a few big projects that won't necessarily get her running again but are definitely needed to get her in that state. With that said, I mentioned before that I plan to do a full wiring harness from the front to the back -...
Been almost 3 years since I have posted here... and it is still at the same place where I left it.As of right now all interior items have been removed except for the steering wheel. As of right now I am still in the process of dropping the rear subframe so that I may be able to drop the fuel...
I am literally at a loss for words... everything that I somewhat tried to imagine is literally right in front of me. I am impressed :applause:. Would I be correct in saying that it will retain the factory/aftermarket heater core coolant lines?
If/when you get that bolted up I'd like the see the finished product, sounds like a lot of thought went into it (love it).Edit:
Another question, I'm now trying to understand your thought process on the coolant lines... I've never seen it configured that way.
Now I understand the radiator placement, looks awesome when all assembled.Forgot to ask, is there a fan on the bottom as well for the radiator, or are you creating some type of ducting for it; unless the velocity of the air will naturally flow into and under the engine?
Update:Although not created yet, I'm currently in the works of having a custom built fuse box from Eaton. Below is a picture of the box but not how it will lay out in terms of my specific/unique requirements. Depending on how this goes I may have them make a few extras for the community as...
Did some additional work today, got some help from the wife as well. We've begun tear down so that the engine can be polished up with new components, the engine bay cleaned up and holes sealed, removed the HVAC system and debating about putting it back in since this may or may not be a daily...
Update:Been working with Connector Concepts on the building of an Eaton Bussmann DVEC fuse box, with that said in order to do so they state I had to create my own schematic for it as it is most likely printed on PCB or internally wired; this is what I came up with.
Update:Made a few new purchases as of late: new jack stands, floor jack, circular connector, engine connectors (Sheridan Engineering), and an AEM EMS-4 ECU harness that is wired for power, ground, CAN, and USB (I have to do the rest). More to come on the build, also I've cut up the center...
Engine harness removed, now just to remove the engine and front chassis, reinstall said engine, and then have the custom front end built so I can fabricate the engine harness. The interior chassis harness, in the meantime, will be built as I'm doing a circular connector at the firewall where the...
If you read the last 10 to 15 posts prior to the recent pictures it'll explain why, in short since our harnesses aren't manufactured anymore I'm removing mine and making my own with an updated security system; I'm not using the stock ECU, I'll be using an AEM EMS-4.You could say that, less...
Security and Push-Start system have arrived, the system looks great and looks stout... except the harness - so many things I want to say about it words truly wouldn't come out right. Anyways, for your viewing pleasure, and mine, here is what came today; forgot to mention my 2200 ft of wiring...
Made some purchases today, I'll post up the details when they come in... finally ripped ol' girl apart again - dash, seats, carpet, and steering wheel have all been removed, I plan to remove the wiring harness this week or the following week and then get the new "pre-harness" fitted for final...
Kind of a bulky connector, didn't realize some of the wires were that big? Lookin' good though, I will say it does take some patience and dedication to reconfigure the old harness. I almost feel like I'm cheating by creating my own...
Can't remember I know I got them from somewhere but they were pre-built when I bought them.The build is changing, a lot. I've sold a few things to give myself a fresh start, the only thing not sold is the engine and various other things. With that said, come the start of next year and...
Well everything has been finalized with the wiring block diagram, I will post a new diagram for those who may want to consider a similar setup. Anyways with that said, I'm proud to say that I've begun acquiring all the necessary equipment to start the build of my harnesses from scratch. In...
Nicely done on the build, sucks to hear you broke some bones in the process but that just means you're doing it right. :thumb: I'm keeping watch on this one, giving me some DIY ideas to make re-doing the car cheaper.
Finally took some pictures of the damage that occurred... just need to replace the front radiator support and I'll be good to go. Of course, I've also got to install the shelved items...
Makes sense to do the paint last, completely understand that; white pearl, not a bad look I'd say. I knew of someone, rather a few, that tried the plastidip, didn't come out bad and looked good. From what they said, and if you don't mind doing it, all you would have to do is occasionally...
Well here's to a fellow service member, and 6 months sounds like a good time frame too - shooting for about a year from now on mine. As for the paint and body, are you considering doing the blasting/paint yourself or having it done at a shop? Although if you're looking for a "suggestion" as to...
Military, what branch? Seems you're in the same struggle with work and your car, definitely keeping up with this one. Nice progress, if you don't mind me asking what's your completion time for this?
I found one on Waytek Wire for $137, I'm guessing that's around what you paid? A bit expensive but I think it'll be worth it, I've been back and forth on different setups for my harness that I plan to custom make myself from the engine to the rear tail lights - nothing is to remain original. I...
I'm going to follow this one, it would seem you've taken the wiring to a new level. Although I'm curious about that fuse distribution block, I'm considering this exact one for part of my setup as well (not using any of the stock wiring).
Currently working the details of the battery relocation, since I'm completely rewiring the car I've had to sample and modify a few relocation projects that have been done previously on the forum... that said here is a block diagram of what I came up with; descriptions are very generic and will...
