Thread: Need help making a basic wiring harness

Tweet

Basically I am putting a late 60's 327 into a gutted 79 camaro drag car. All I need is for the car to run and have headlights and tailights (so it can be driven up and down the street on tests without being harrassed too bad by the local pd) Anybody got a simple diagram or can help me out? I am planning on just running line fuses and switches as I have nothing electrical in the car right now. Thanks

not much really I'm pretty new at this just trying to learn. I know I need to get power to the alternator and the coil and ground them. I know the coil has to be on the ignition switch. I have to have power to the starter run through the starter switch. I have to run power to the headlights and tailights as well. What gauge wiring should I run?

If you look on ebay motors under street rod, you can buy a basic 12 circuit harness for a little over $100.00. It's hard to make one for much less than that.

Falconvan has a good idea, but I would further suggest that you make a trip to your local library and in the reference section you should be able to find some books that explain basic wiring. They should also have repair manuals that contain wiring diagrams or maybe Denny might post you up one if he knows what exactly you are planning to run.

Thanks falconvan, I would never have thought to look on ebay for a wiring harness.....

I believe jegs or summit has a drag race harness or two, just a basic setup, might be good to look into.
