Bulkhead Supplemental Diagram: 69 Barracuda

Just a passing thought for those less inclined to dig into the wiring.. I remember a time (not that long ago) when it was all a terrifying black box. My first ground-up motorcycle build helped me immensely (i designed and built the wiring system.. appropriately, a pretty simple one for a 1973 Yamaha RD350 two stroke cafe bike).. but when I bought my project car, I vividly remember thinking “how in the hale am I going to figure out what all these dangling gray (someone’s paint over spray) wires are for in this empty project Barracuda engine bay?”

I’m no expert, and only have a basic understanding, and I have a lifetime of learning and understanding ahead of me, but really... it’s all very simple, if you start small, get some VERY basic tools, and understand the fundamentals first... and try to not let the rats nest intimidate you... you’ll be the better person for it!

Wiring and rewiring to clean things up, has become one of the most satisfying and enjoyable aspects of working on my car. Especially routing and cutting any and all wires. It’s all so tedious, calculating, and surgical!

Anyway.. most of what I learned was right here from you all... so thanks much! :thankyou:
