Hi All,
I just picked up my 1975 vega last week. I have only driven up the street and back, and already burned off the wires to the starter. It seems the young man...20 yo, who wired the car needs a lot of electrical training. In fact I need a little guidance on Chevy's also.
The engine is a 350/350 auto, withe HEI, and two electric fans. It seems the young man wired everything from the the alternator for power, routing one wire precariously to the battery over the sharp edges of the radiator. Then there are several more wires grouped together off these wires (daisy chained), still from the alternator. I have worked exclusively at a Ford Dealer, then the post office on fleet vehicles for years. Modifications are actually new to me, but I know wrong when I see it!
Can anyone send me a diagram/pics of a properly wired engine compartment? A detailed description would help as an alternative.
All the options are: two fans, starter, HEI ignition, Batter. Inside the car there is a stereo, and an electronic dash board (leds, so low amperage for sure). Please help. nstraws@hotmail.com (St. Louis, Mo). Thank you all
