wiring 57 wagon

[1930artdeco]

I thought I would start a separate thread about wiring my 57 wagon up. So here it goes as I will be asking many many questions.....

I am beginning the rewire (Ron Francis) process and since I am starting off with missing original parts, how do you secure the two wires that go from the Regulator (A/B posts?) to the Gen? I know they have to go along the radiator support somehow. I figured the F post out (it goes along the firewall). I am planning to use loom conduit instead of wrapping everything in electrical tape. Or does it come down to make it as clean as possible?

Thanks,

Mike

See if this helps -

There is an ELECTRICAL MANUAL also available that may help ease the pain -

Thanks K. Thank you for jogging my memory. Just remember the wife got me a wiring manual-hate getting old.

I have that Manuel that K showed. its great... very helpful.
I also use this..I made massive prints of it at a print shop that does blueprints and architect copies....
I made this one 4x6 and hung it on the wall.. (easier on the eyes)

For some reason Mike.. its shows a small attachment
If you need it bigger...... send me a dm

Jeff will do, let me check out the manual that I have. Part of my problem is that pieces of the original wiring are missing so I don't know where and how it was routed and what hardware was used.

That's my fault. For some reason when I download a photo it will only display small.

Being computer illiterate, I am not able to figure out how to correct it.

I am having trouble uploading WSM photos (too small) now regarding the 57 MERC AT.

If you are willing to pay for authenticity and ease of installation I recommend YnZ Yesterdays harnesses. Correct color codes, correct lengths, and a handy wire diagram.

X2 on YnZ. I've been to their shop and its impressive to say the least. The owner comes to a coffee and donuts get together on Saturday morning. He has a '68 XKE that is immaculate.
