    Sweet Beauford, and now would be a great time to start running that wire harness while you can stand next to the frame rather than laying on the ground.
    You wana look waaay far up da road and plan yer route because the brakes are far more of a suggestion than a command!

      Wiz..my thoughts exactly. Waiting on brake switch and will get to it. Where does everyone run that brake wire and how is it secured? I don't care if its zip ties but like to be somewhat correct.

        What year is that truck? Normally on the 28/29 the switch is mounted on the left side of the tranny top two rear bolts. On the 30/31 the switch is mounted on the center cross member and I believe in both instances the brake light switch wire is ran in the gap right behind the battery.

          Ok, depending on who's harness you got, try slipping the 2 wires through a piece of web and run it behind the battery, it will lay ok on the rail lip, no real need to anchor it.

          Oh yea. The harness runs right on the top inside lower ledge of the frame and through the hole in the corner of the center cross brace right back to the rear light all along that rail edge.

        Nice...now another dumb question. Where does the inside fuel line go coming off shut off valve? I assume the bowl is connected to tank and line from bowl to carb.

          I done figured it out. I went in my neighbors barn and looked at his old A. I think I woke up the mice. Trying to put something together that you never took apart is a real treat no one ever said!

        If you don't already have them you should get the judging standards, as well as the service bulletins. These will aide you in reassembling your car properly and more efficiently.

              Electrical mystery
              by Tudor31
              The engine is starting easily and runs very well. However, if I leave the main switch in the ON position it will slowly drain the battery. Trying to isolate the problem, I connected a test light between the starter and the output side of the fuse. After disconnecting the wires at the cut-out and at the terminal in order, it turns out that the ignition switch is the problem (test light out when...

              Wiz, what was the fix on the repo brake switch you told me to do as the road was pulling out the switch? Someone else has this problem and I know you told me how to fix it and I forgot. Still works!!!

              Who's an electrically challenged klutz then?
              by Rob Patterson
              Hi,

              I've been busy lately attending to wiring the Speedster. I'm now at the hard part for me....YEP, I've left the best for last.....

              For aesthetics on my Speedster I'm using a KW coil box switch and without an Amp meter.
              But for other reasons I'm using a later electrical wiring loom which is designed for the usual ignition switch, Amp meter, and light switch.

              Emergency starting
              by Brian French
              so.....I replaced a perfect working pop out ignition switch with a correct looking Rexco on off switch. The pop out switch was binding on the re-pop instrument panel, and I had Rexco switch in stock, with a correct looking ignition cable.

              My my question is, if I was stuck, because i lost my key, can I use a jumper wire to get home?

              Would that hat wire go to the coil (which...

              Turn Signal Review
              by Tom Wesenberg
              I just installed this turn signal kit on a friend's car, and was impressed with the quality of the unit and the instructions, which were very clear and easy to follow. A third brake light (BrakeLighter) and right taillight were already installed on the car, so that also helped. I removed the Brakelighter power wire terminal, which contained the 2 wires for both sides of the third brake light, and...

              Heres one for ya.
              by DaWizard
              For the last few weeks I have been having a small problem with the light switch on the bottom of the steering column and yesterday I decided it was time to attack it.

              So, I remove the switch, start to clean it up, and remove the switch plate and disassemble the whole thing. Well, very little oil between the tang plate and insulating plate, but that is all. So, I get out the test light

              Brake/ tail lights not working
              by cairo16
              I recently purchased the car, the brake lights didn't work, we wanted to upgrade to led lights due to heavy traffic in our area so we purchased those and a new wiring harness to accommodate turn signals. Once installed we had same result as before tail lights wouldnt work at all, replaced brake switch and now tail lights come on when headlights or parking lamps are on but not when brake pedal is depressed....

              Light Switch Contacts
              by merjohn
              The light switch that is on our 31 truck has 4 contact points. The new wiring harness has 3 groups of 3 contacts. Is this normal?...

              "HOT" SWITCH?
              by BILL WILLIAMSON
              "Sometimes" I read of electrical problems that are quite CONFUSING???
              It's good to know if your Ignition Switch is still wired in the original configuration, or if it has been rewired to a so called "HOT" switch, like most cars are. MANY cars have been modified, in their SORRID background!
