Just received my 1928 Model A Wiring Harness from Mr. Tyree Harris.

I must say that it was made exactly to the Ford specs (drawings for which I got at the Ford Archives) for February 1928 thru February 1929.

Well worth it.

Thank you Tyree for stepping up to the plate and making the correct one.

Do you have the order information and price handy? 1930 CCPU. No cowl lights.

BTW, I have two full, old Schmidts steel beer cans..

You will have to get the drawings from the archives pertaining to 1930. All I have are the 1928 drawings. The two harness that I got from other vendors were way off...one used to large wire; the other the tail light lead is to short thus you have to buy another length and splice it together.

You need to do the research to make sure what you want is what you get and go from there.

The vendors need to go by the drawings and do it right the first time if they are going to make and sell these harness...they try to make it so one style fits all but I guess that is ok for the guy who dosen't care but then there are those of us, probably a very small percentage, who want it done right...Guess I am in that assembly line.

What year on the beer cans Larry?

Tyree Harris made all of the Wireing for my "Henry Award Winning 1930 Coupe". To receive a perfect score in Fine Point Judging in the Electrical Area is an asset to the work of Tyree...For Fine Point Judgineing you should not look at price you look for "Quality". Tyree Harris provides both Quality and at a Reasonable Price...Highest quality available...Jay
 
idea ive been thinking about: since the AA is longer from the brake light switch to the taillight and park light, were the AA harnesses special or did ford use all standard model A harnesses then use those rubber buttsplices to add a length of wire to reach the taillight? what about the even longer 157" wheelbase trucks?

The parts and drawings you need to research out are AA-14405- A, B, C and D Stop and Rear Lamp Wiring Assembly for the shorter frame AA trucks.

The AA-157 frames used AA-14423 Rear Lamp Extension Wire Assembly, which was attached to the AA-14405.

These drawings will tell you, more than likely, the correct length of wires that were used for the Model AA Trucks.

They are both listed on the MAFFI site including Part Releases and dates of.

Neil Wilson of the Model AA Truck Club can probably be more specific about this. As a matter of fact, I think in one of his publications, The Double A'er, he did an article on the wiring harness (see below).

I saw Tyrees work at the MAFCA National last year and ordered the harness for the 28 Phaeton project. I sent him the connector piece and he made the harness to the Ford specs for the month and year of car. Great job and easy to work with.
 
It seems to get a correct fine point harness from Tyree it must be specified and prints delivered at the time of order, otherwise you'll just get the generic universal style that everyone sells ...is this correct ???
 
No, you can order one from him and specify your year and cowl or not. It will come with the correct ends, colored wires and woven tracer thread in the outer cover. If you want, you can send him an original wire harness base and he will make a harness using your original base if you prefer.

Pluck had to send him the prints to get it correct... I would think that he should already know what is correct and how to make it
 
Yeah, you would think so. I know a couple of Henry winners that sent him the base but did not have to send any prints?
 
I think Doc Kalinka makes the brass tags for the wiring harness. Dean from Bozeman would know what months require the tag.
 
Just got off the phone with him...he is not making custom wiring any more. apparently he made a harness identical one that got full points at a previous meet for a guy and it got dockped points at that meet. he got a lot of blow back, and now will no longer make 'custom' wiring...
