Doing a frame off on a '50 3100. I'm ready to install the new wiring harness. I'm installing a Kwik Wire harness and I'm a rookie so the questions below may sound pretty basic. I’ve read a number of previous posts but had a few more questions.
I've got the fuse block mounted to the firewall. The harness is divided up into groups: Motor Group, Headlight Groups (2) Tail Group and Interior Group. I've got the Interior group pulled to the dash/instruments, no problem. The Motor Group, Headlight Groups (2) and Tail Group are pulled thru the firewall. I’ve wrapped the Tail Group in loom but am having a difficult time finding a good path to get the harness down to the left side frame rail. It’s pretty crowded below the firewall with brake & clutch linkage, etc. How have others routed this wire group to the rear of the truck and does anyone have pics? Next, what methods have others used to route the 2 Headlight Groups and the Motor Group? I want a neat & clean look so suggestions & pics would be great. Another question I have is what is the best way to splice wires together? Solder and shrink wrap or is there a better method? Finally, what is the best method for crimp connections? Special crimper tool? Thanks to all for educating the rookie!
