Hey everyone, I am new to this. I am 25yr old guy who loves doing projects. I'm quite the outdoorsman, I live in one of the beautiful states i call montana. I've always had an interest in this stuff since I was a kid, and about 3yrs ago I found a 74 charger se. It's definitely been a great project that I had driving down the road pretty quick. Unfortunately while driving, wiring shorted out and burnt up the engine bay/ect. I've been working on the new wiring and slowly adding piece by piece to restore the beauty back to life. I'm here to learn and enjoy this as much as anyone else. Thank you!
Caused by ?
the
bulkhead connecter on the firewall ?
known to be a problem when they get rusty or corroded, connection
so is the
Amp gauge, a lot of stories about them too
Be careful it, disconnecting the, they can be very brital, old plastic etc. old wires
clean all the connections surfaces, check & make sure the wires are all good too
use a lil' brass brush & pipe cleaners, need a lil' buger to get down in them,
then use some electrical cleaner spay, that won't leave a residue,
clean both sides of all the connections
check all the connection & use a lil' tiny dab of dielectric grease
on each connection
when reinstalling, it
that will help keep out the corrosion/oxidation/rusty crud
New wiring is a great project, get familiar with the car
