Subject: wiring help
I need some wiring help. More specifically, does anyone have a clear and concise wiring diagram for the routing of the spyder stuff on a '63 spyder? i'm helping a friend with a '63 spyder he just got and the engine bay wiring is a disaster. (An explosion in a mattress factory) I tried to follow the wiring diagram in the '62/'63 shop manual supplement, but its pretty vague. I then tried to follow the wiring diagram in the '64 shop manual supplement, and it was a bit clearer. HOWEVER, all the wire colors are different. Very confusing to a rookie electrician like me.
I also need to know this: how is the spyder stuff routed through the engine bay harness? Then, how is it connected to, and routed through the body harness? Also, how should the vacuum gauge tubing be routed? The p.o. destroyed the large grommet the body harness enters the engine bay through, and crammed it along with it. Also, does it matter which end of the ballast resistor gets hooked to which wire? They also added an electric choke. I want to make sure everything is wired up correctly.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
