electrical wiring

Posted by hemlock On 2023/12/5 19:42:04

Would someone please help on this question. I'm working on a 1956 Executive 4 door[a U.S. car that was imported into Canada]. Also have a 56 Exec. that was originally sold here in Canada. The Canadian car uses Auto-lite electrics, while the U.S. car uses Delco. Main engine compartment wiring [harness to voltage regulator/generator, etc.]on the U.S. car has been chopped and spliced, and I would like to use the harness from the Canadian parts car to replace it. Wiring diagram is confusing- should I be following the upper diagram of v.r. [5680-88] since the car uses Delco electrics like the big Packards? [diagram on pg.65 of mechanics manual]. Perhaps someone would sketch a diagram of this main harness only, rather than everything else that the manual shows. Thanks, Clifford
