Lamp cord is never a good sign...

[tdskip]

We had a break in the rain today so I was able to dive into the 1968 again, I’ve had a slow to start issue that I assumed was fuel but look (use your imagination) at what I noticed just now - lamp cord from coil to distributor!

Worse - it was barely connected.

New wiring piece of proper gauge and new connected, cleaned everyone, and she fires right away now.

Sometimes it is the easy stuff, right?

Now back to the darn mixture sure I messed up!

Have a good rest of your weekend.

Wow, that's got to be in the top 3 DPO Wiring disasters.

The other week we were re-wiring my brother's RV and pulled out a coaxial TV cable going from the alternator to the batteries. I kid thee not.

YIKES! My prior owner was an electrical engineer by comparison.

Glad you spotted that before it caused a fire.

Hope you are having a good weekend, stay safe.

Wow, RG-59, huh? I mean, RG-58 maybe, but certainly not RG-59.

Hey, I know, maybe the PO lived near a high powered commercial radio station and wanted to keep RF interference from riding on top of the DC being put out from his mighty fine alternator?
