I need to wire a 49 burb and was wondering if you could help with a shopping list. Here's what I have so far. I am leaning towards wiring to original because I want the look of original buttons and switches, and most of the 12-20 circuit wiring kits comes with a lot of stuff I probably won't use. It's a 261 6 cylinder with 12V alt, floor starter going into it. Here's what I have so far (starting with nothing).
Original harness from classicparts
dimmer switch
turn signal stat
headlight switch
cig lighter
guages
ignition switch
Where can I get the original fuse panel, or can I? What about terminal blocks, how many?
Thanks in advance.
Patrick

I REWIRING 6V & 12V, CUSTOM STEREO SYSTEMS MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ALWAYS. HE IS GOOD ALL THE TIME!!! www.SoCalConcepts.webs.com | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,953 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,953 | On my 49 there are 5 fuses in the fuse box. I have rewired most of the truck using good wire and connectors from FLAPS. I am still using the generator so cannot comment on how to wire an alternator.
The wire gauge required is or should be shown on the wiring diagram. Because it is a diagram for a 6 volt system you can get away with light gauge wire if need be.
The most important thing is to use a good crimping tool and make good connections. Give them a 'tug' test before you install them. | | |
