wiring diagram
Wire rat’s nests, hacked circuits, sloppy wiring methods, incorrect conductor size and colors are a staple of old cars. Where is the fun if it all works, and is done up right look’en pretty? LOL
I got my Dart home after driving it onto car carrier, hauling it 200 miles, and it not starting once home to unload in driveway… Long story short I filed a 15 gal trash bag 1/3 full with discontinued wire, and ended up rewiring engine bay, replacing bulkhead connector, 90% of brass spade connectors, and half the dash conductors, including rebuilding gage cluster circuit board. This project gave me a good understanding of an A Body’s electrical system. Additional up grades have been added such as relay powered headlights, choke, convertible top, charging bypass, and an under hood power fused distribution block. Now there are no voltage drop problems, and car is very reliable.
