Made some nice progress today. Thanks Howard and Bob for the insights on the light bulb wiring. Bob, I may come back for clarification when I tackle those.
Today, I was able to remove the old wire harness, snake the new one through behind the dash, and get started on the install, hooking up all engine points. I'm going to tackle the dash next, and the lights/turn signal will be last.
Before I wire the dash, I think I will paint it. When I removed the dash panels, they looked very dark brown. I think I remember someone referencing Walnut by Rustoleum as the darkest brown out there.
Joe Goss still does the woodgraining, so I will be sending the Dash panels out in April, when he is back from his travels. (thanks for the lead!)
Also, sent my Speedometer to Pat (Bill's Speedometer) to tune up. It had been making a grinding noise, even fter i replaced the Speedo cable, and applied white grease. Pat said he will get it right.
Cheers
Ben
