Hey there, you still on the list? I haven't seen any posts recently from you, and I'm sitll waiting on the pics of your Chevelle! I finally got to take my car out last night.

RE: [Chevelle-list] Electrically Charged
Therin lies the problem...I can't bring myself to purchase a F**D, and I'd never take out my frustration on someone elses car. Maybe, just maybe, it will work if I smash up my Pontiac. No, probably not, it's a GM product. :( "I used to tell my kids be good or when you die you will go to the F**D drag strip & have to pick up the broken parts that fall off FOREVER" I need to use that one on my kids! ;-) I love it.

Title: Message Sarge, you may not be happy with the painless kit. It's more for street rods. The fuse box won't fit in place of the old one. If that's not a problem with you then the painless is a good way to wire the whole car on the cheap. My friend has one on his '34 Chevy and his '38 Nash. He likes them.

RE: [Chevelle-list] Electrically Charged
Title: Message Well, It's not the battery. :( I was hoping for an easy fix. I have a short somewhere. I replaced about six different wires last night, thinking I had the right one every time. The Chevelle Gods were frowning on me last night. Maybe I'll go out and bust the windshield out of a F**D as a sacrifice. (Just kiddin') Back to the wiring diagrams I guess. Even though they really don't mean much, since pretty much every wire in my car has at least three splices, and the wire changes color at every junction. What a mess. :( SARGE 69SS/Clone -Original Message-From: Clint Hooper [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 04, 2003 12:25 PMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] Electrically Charged Another suggestion would be to take the battery down to your local battery place and have it load tested.

RE: [Chevelle-list] Electrically Charged
Hey Sarge, I've been there. Trust me, go with a new harness and save yourself a lot of headache. I couldn't track down a short in my '69 for the longest time, so I finally broke down and spent the money on the new harness. An hour later my car was up and running again. If money is a concern, start with the engine harness. If that doesn't work, then get the forward light harness. That would cover all the wires under the hood. The dash harness is a bit more expensive, so do that last if you even need to. Matt At 04:20 PM 8/5/2003 +, you wrote: I'd love to have the link. You can send it to me, consider this the "word" :) I need to order a new wiring system. AAA! This mess is driving me crazy. I've spent about 8 hours tracking wires, and running new ones.
