Greg was having problems getting the proper connectors for his harnesses.
That’s one of the reasons he stopped. He did offer the boards to the club
members, but got no takers.

8433173261 dealing
with that harness stuff right now, as getting old I have no chance of
sneaking behind dash unless i pull front seats and brake pedal . Did that but
still punting psychologically on doing it .And may not be able to . To pull dash
it seems one would have to undo engine harness and pull out as one piece 57-61 ,
otherwise no rope to move dash . I believe windshield has to come out on some?
And column Or take out subassemblies like gauge cluster radio etc to get
in there , wheel still in the way . That pulling modules itself a huge job .How
did they ever fix this stuff ?
Any input on this , — ??? beyond finding an 8 year old or midget who can
fix it . Your point about area behind push buttons on F so true. Even with
dash out of car getting directional light connector apart or together and out of
way almost impossible . 10 lbs in five lb bag.
Extremely aggravating fact on this car the dash is full of those moronic (
only word that fits) blue “insulation
displacement “tap style push on self cutting splices , like 15 of them hanging
down . Never buy a car with those your wiring is ruined , the strands
break right there, and as an EE I think not safe period. Sure sign
that an electrically incompetent person worked on your car with 5 $ box of napa
splices and did half azz work. Already pulled 10-15 out of front of car , even
joining headlight and parklight wires exposed to water
Could say a lot more about things found but enough .
Yes we miss Greg’s top quality work , he told me he disposed of all
the tooling and layout boards to make our harnesses into dumpster when he
stopped . That should have gone to one of the harness guys or even ? Quirey
.
Recently worked a bit with YnZ in california on 50 Packard harness , I was impressed , a guy named Chris knows his stuff , one day process great interaction . Back ordered . Fair price. Not sure if he has our harnesses , remember some are specific to 300 only , such as F power seats / console which I had bought from Greg. Good subject .. John G

After 60+ years, even a well
cared for F or G has wiring harnesses that no longer have supple insulation,
making it easy for cracks or missing pieces to appear, especially if you have to
get up under the dash to work on a light switch or ignition switch and push or
pull on the wires.
When I restored my 57, I
bought a new harness from club member Greg, but I had the entire dash out of the
car so it was an easy task (relatively). I was also 25 years younger
then! I don't know if Greg or anyone else ever offered F or G wiring
harnesses, or if I am even up to ripping the dash out of my 'never been apart' G
convertible. Starting in 62, there was at least a bulkhead connector to
make the job somewhat easier (with its own inherent problems), but on a 61
convertible that area behind the dash on the left hand side is pretty crowded
(emergency brake, power pack, light switch, convertible top switch, mirror
control, power window loom, power seats, etc.) I imagine it's potentially
even worse if the car has A/C?
It's much easier to rewire a
stripper pick up truck from the 50's with radio/heater delete. ;-) On Thu, Jun 17, 2021 at 7:22 AM John Grady <jkg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
