shacks510 Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 You should see the headlight wiring harness I made for my engine bay. It's totally independent from the factory stuff, except for three wires; two signals, and a ground for the high beam light. New, lower gauge wire, dual fused relays with seperate low/high circuit, powered directly from the battery. No more flickering from overloading the factory switch. Sealed beams are actually pretty damn bright when they have good power. I also re-routed the wires going to the alt/starter, so there are no wires running across that open area (I did this because I was able to). It's a semi-tuck. You still have some loom showing (I don't like the zero wire look), but it's clean. Maybe you'll see it in my car if it ever gets done. I think you'd like it. (Not sure if I mentioned this) 2 Quote Link to comment

mrbigtanker Posted January 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 might not want to mount the coil on the radiator......the heat will kill it....lookin saaaweet tho Thought of that but I'm going to give it a try first. I figure what the hell. I'm going to run the coil and lead wires strapped under the hose to make it cleaner. Quote Link to comment
tr8er Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Coil will be fine. Don't assume the radiator will ever get hot. Quote Link to comment
cruznude Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Looking like your almost done there. Question for you though, is that a Datsun emblem oil dip stick I see there? Where in the hell you get that? 1 Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Looking like your almost done there. Question for you though, is that a Datsun emblem oil dip stick I see there? Where in the hell you get that? He forged it. In the fires of Mt Doom itself. 3 Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted January 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 It was forged in the fires of the MT Datrod. This is old and he gave it to me. Maybe if the spark gets re lit he can make some again. He does another smaller one that is a circle and very nice. Its also Knurled. Quote Link to comment

I cut my teeth in machining with a tos varsdorf hbm, they may be crude heaps of cast iron forged in czechoslovokia but they work for ever and take a beating. 2 Quote Link to comment
