Re: Engine test stand kind-of

[intiaboats@xxxxxxxx]

Bill,
On my last build, I bought a wiring harness from a local parts supplier for $160 plus tax, which came with all instructions/diagrams/etc. . I intend to do the same for my '65 SF & my '56 Coronet. The kit was made by WWW.KEEPITCLEANWIRING.COM everything is marked & I actually started to think that I was an electrician. So far, two years+ and no complaints. For the high powered cars, however, I'd recommend heavier wires in some areas. I'm sure that there'll be a few dozen members who'll have more knowledge than me on this topic, though. Interesting time for you. Disassembly is over & every move you make shows real progress, now.
Good luck,
Mike
