When I did this half wire tuck I was outside in my driveway. I said I was going to straighten it out so today was the day. All of this from trying to wire in the vacuum pump.
Had help....my 13yr old removed the drivers fender and installed the little triangle mirror covers. The guy did an excellent job.
This is the aftermath.
What happened was....I got to the harness and had no idea what I was looking at. I had a mysterious green wire that was unplugged from somewhere. Didn't know what it was for or where it went. Traced it and found it was the tach signal wire to my Autometer. Then remembered that I had just stuck it in the ground connector of the coil and never wired it in. That had to change.
Another quest that started as a gingerly walk down wiring and solder road ended up being an all day thing. Rerouted all the wires. They look a little bunched up because the factory wiring and connectors are still there. I refuse to remove any of it. The four added things are the vacuum pump, cooling fans, fog lights, and the line lock. I had no fuse going to the fog light relay...just straight wired. I know I thou thought it was temporary but I must've been drinking something really good.
Everything is now labeled ( green masking tape made into a tab that has what the circuit is on it ) and the fuse holders are color coded to the harnesses they relate to.
White for vacuum pump....blue for the fans...yellow for the fog lights.
All the added circuits are on one post of my GM truck power distribution block. The harnesses have been organized, taped, labeled, and secured. Got it all done....except the ignition power wire for the vacuum pump relay. Yup...still gotta do it. All my circuits are ground triggered so no obvious wires behind the fender. I'll find one tomorrow or run the wire into the car and tap in there.
Still didn't bleed the brakes....or paint the calipers. I want to tidy up the rear brake line junction at the IRS. At this rate I'll be done with this sometime this year.
