Hey everyone,
My sister-in-law has a 1978 El Camino with the 350 engine that’s been sitting in the driveway for 21 years. I recently decided to take a closer look at the wiring, and honestly, it’s a bit of a mess.
After removing the electrical tape, I found the situation to be worse than I expected. There are a lot of wires that have been cut, spliced, or are barely holding on by a strand or two. The good news? It looks like the light circuit hasn’t been tampered with, so at least that part is intact!
Everything else under the hood is a complete rewire job.
Any advice on sourcing the right connectors or tips for making the job easier would be greatly appreciated.
Here's what I'm basing my repairs on.
My first question would be on the charging system. Two 12g red wires? Thanks in advance!
