Dave came over again on Saturday, and we made a lot of progress with Daisy’s wiring. Sadly, we found some new problems along the way, but I think one more order from Bratton’s will do the trick.<\/p>\n

We started by opening up the dashboard panel – some of the wires we were changing out needed to go from there to the terminal box.
\n\"Open<\/a><\/p>\n

With the panel open and the wires all freed, Dave removed the terminal box. Dave examined it closely, and he believes it was actually an original. It’s always a little sad for me to pull out original parts – is it just me?
\n\"Original<\/a><\/p>\n

Next we fished the appropriate wires through from the dashboard to the terminal box, closed up the dashboard, and connected up the new wires to the terminal box. While we were there, we also replaced the wires going from the terminal box to the coil and from the coil to the distributor. These were all the wires we had poked around with on Friday the 13th, so we felt some confidence that this would take care of whatever her problem had been previously.
\n\"New<\/a><\/p>\n

I had also bought the bundle of wires for the head lights and tail lights. This bundle of wires goes on the end of the steering box.
\n\"End<\/a><\/p>\n

From there, we went to the driver-side head light…which is where we found some new problems. We were replacing the wires that went *to* the head light; however, the lights for the head light socket itself were not good. It appeared as though there was some meltage in the head light:
\n\"Melted<\/a><\/p>\n

And some of the wires were shredding:

That’s not to mention the creative wiring that my Grandpa Wayne had done. To connect the socket to the main bundle of wires, he had simply twisted the wires and taped them up with electric wire. On the tail lights he had soldered them before taping. Not exactly the safest way to wire!

That means I need to order new sockets for the head lights, but the tail light wires looked okay. I had also missed one bundle of wires, so I’ve ordered those as well. Here’s the other missing bundle:

So, to sum-up: we replaced a bunch of the wiring, but found additional issues, so I’m waiting on an order from Bratton’s. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
