Soooo...... I've been busy lots of wire July 25, 2011, 02:13:42 PM So, this all started one very hot day when my car wasn't charging well because the battery was low and I had all my acc on. I started to just fix the problem in hand but i was like hey? why do I need all the computer wires across the firewall, then wires started flying then my friend was like I cant get to all the wires with the dash still connected, so that had to come out. I have been screwing with this thing for about a month now, when will it ever end...... I also decided I would never have air so I removed the air box and gave it to sarjxxx, now I have a 5 gal bucket full of wire and a bunck of holes in my firewall, not to mention ALL THE EFFIN WIRE!!!!!!!!!!!:punchballs:But the car should weigh 50-60lbs less. I did the pedal swap and in the process of installing my line lock, WHAT A FRIGGIN NIGHTMARE!!!!!!! Quote Selected

Soooo...... I've been busy lots of wire Reply #5 – July 25, 2011, 09:46:38 PM Wow!When asked about what I've changed on my car, I say "there are only two things original to the car, the wire harness and the blower motor". After seeing those pics, I hope the wire harness never goes up in smoke! Quote Selected

Soooo...... I've been busy lots of wire Reply #8 – July 26, 2011, 06:49:42 AM Crazy looking mess. Reminds me of when I had to swap a lot of wiring when my fuse box melted. Quote Selected
Soooo...... I've been busy lots of wire Reply #9 – July 26, 2011, 07:55:13 AM Ahh yes, I remember those days:When I did this (dash swap) I was stupid and didn't swap the pedals while I was in there. A few months later I did the pedal swap, and it was a PITA--and that cloth tape Ford covered the wires with was gross. All it did was make the wires sticky.My next one will be stripped and wired from scratch... Quote Selected
Soooo...... I've been busy lots of wire Reply #10 – July 26, 2011, 08:49:46 AM I got about a half step away from doing that when I was putting the car back together and installing the MegaSquirt.I still might do it, as the car really needs a set of real gauges, even though I'm partial to the stock look. I also keep thinking about rewiring the whole car with one of those ISIS power systems. Quote Selected
Soooo...... I've been busy lots of wire Reply #11 – July 26, 2011, 09:22:02 AM Just checked ISIS website and wow, thats pretty neat. I'm guessing no relays are needed then since it uses those power blocks?Also chuck, are those scopes infront of your rear wheel functional? If so the are BA. Quote Selected

Soooo...... I've been busy lots of wire Reply #13 – July 26, 2011, 09:55:06 AM The only thing that i'm having trouble is the flash to pass relay only working when I power it up manually, when the key goes on it stops working???? once I figure that out I can start wrapping the wires up and get back to driving. I found this wire loom tape that I highly recommend!!!! I wrapped some wires and have had it in the sun for a week and it still isn't sticky, and priced nice.http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=wire+loom+tape&hl=en&safe=off&rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-SearchBox&rlz=1I7SUNA&prmd=ivns&resnum=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&biw=1152&bih=635&wrapid=tlif131168831788010&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=9193848551971216011&sa=X&ei=gMYuTqOFC-Xe0QHqpuncAQ&ved=0CHEQ8gIwAA# Quote Selected
