Ed's 40 Ford looks like it just came off of the showroom floor. The body is perfect, the paint and interior beautiful. Let's see what we can do to finish the wiring fitting for this fine car.
This is what the wiring looked like when the car was delivered. Some of the circuits were wired, but there was alot left to be done. The first thing is to clean this up and make sure that is wired correctly.
This is a shot of the wires that were installed after being cleaned up. As it turns out, the headlight and running light power leads were not connected where they were meant to go. This was corrected.
The gauge cluster was wired and if you notice, the American Autowire kit provides the ability to make the cluster unplugable. I never wire the gauges tight. I always try to leave enough wire to pull a gauge that may need attention without having to pull the entire cluster.
This is a shot where you can see the wiring through the opening in the dash.
Since the column is original, we had to install the turn signal that straps to the column. This turn signal does not use the flashers from the fuse box. If you use this switch, you will need to purchase a 3-prong flasher to wire it properly.
We had to install a new oil pressure sender in the flathead. The only way that we could get to it was by removing the floor.
This is the finished fuse panel.
We cleaned up the wiring a little bit in the engine compartment.
The following picks are of the 4 corners of this beautiful 40 Ford.
