Think You Had a Wiring Mess. Check This out!

Almost 50 years ago I drove '62 Freightliner that was in a fire. It had three wire nuts coming from the dash...you connected two wires to a) turn on the lights b) turn on the fuel solenoid and c) touch two wires to engage the starter.

That's all there was.... Another of the company trucks had a fiberglass patch on the engine block to fix a hole where an errant connecting rod exited.
