A new land barge, do I need a new forum ? HaHa !

Hey thanks for coming back fellas. Nothing like some support from your support group. I got some electrical bugaboos up under the dash somewhere. Drove it a couple weeks, and since the beginning I've been starting it at the relay under the hood. The starter works in the start position however there's no ignition energy when the key is in the start position.
Earlier today I pulled the gauge panel out from the dash. And there's a wire seems that at one time went to the dash and traveled to the right (from the driver's position) toward the heater box. This wire has no insulation left on it it completely burned away. So I think I'll attempt figuring it out by noting all the wires that are there and their colors and tracers and guess which one is missing. Melted a line down the wrap tape that held the bundle together. Have not looked closely yet but all the wires around it seven or eight maybe don't seem to have burned through the insulation . But that detail will require closer inspection .
This is my first c body other than pickup trucks I've been a body guy all along. But when it showed up , right in my neighborhood I had to go have a look. I tell you I think I had a flashback when I walked up to it could smell it and feel it. My favorite color too. Any other color I would have had the Wagner power painter out doing a black and white Blues Brothers on it.
And it's just about the same condition they were in back in the 80s when I was buying dusters and darts and valiants for 500 bucks a piece. For a thousand bucks you got a really super nice one.

A bit tired now with 170K on it.

I'll let y'all know what I find about the cabin fire.
