Engine Harness, Headlight Harness (Repair reuse) How to repair and test engine harness Corvette C3 

Watching you shape that metal on your front door step was awesome. Turned out so good. Subscribed

Thank you... Very thorough. You made this look so easy though.. And I'm planning on doing this to my 64 Ford falcon

I’m so glad I stumbled onto your videos, I’m restoring my dads 1973 C3 stingray and your videos are so much help!!

Dobry pomysl na oczyszczenie przewodów okablowania dremerem super pomysl .

A very comprehesive look at refurbishing the wiring loom and not having to fork out $400+ on a new loom, as the saying goes, "If it ain't broke don't fix it" also worth noting that Tom marked all the ends with where they go, that's a must. Four points to mention: 1) Don't use those crap crimpers, they are no good, you need to use the correct crimper that is setup for the right crimp type and compression, basically if you just go crimping as hard as you can with those things after a while the wire will snap off with vibration because its been crimped too hard, I know I've seen it. 2) There are fuse links buried in the loom, be careful not to mistake them for connectors and cut them off. 3) Dialectric grease is NOT conductive, therefore DO NOT use it on the mating surfaces of a connector. 4) Don't use electrical tape in the engine bay, it will either melt or become a sticky mess, what you need to use is temperature rated cloth tape, it's specifically made to work in temperature sensitive locations such as engine bays, (ebay is your friend), it comes in different temperature ratings also. I used that corrigated plastic tubing also but it looks ugly and is not heat resistant, my go would be to wrap the loom in the high temp cloth tape all the way.

Nice job Tom!

Ok, you are my go to video guy now for my Corvette! I like how detailed you are in your instruction! Having a couple of issues at the moment. I had a running 1977 C3 (still not road ready) and now it won't make a sound when I turn the key! I tested the starter like you showed and it works. I tested the clutch switch and it works, so now I'm stumped. I'm thinking that maybe it's that little wire going to the post on the starter that you touched to make the starter wake up! (If that makes sense). I'll ask my other question later. It has to do with the brand new interior harness!

Jak zwykle świetny odcinek! Fajnie, że pracujesz na oryginalnych częściach i naprawiasz a nie tylko wymiana na nowe. Pozdrowienia z PL

Love your episodes, very helpfull man

You could also put shrinking insulation on the metal cable connectors which were not protected before. It prevents them against moisture and getting dirty in future. You are in Canada, much more moisture place than for example California. You have also more salt on the road. Mogłeś pododawać termokurcze na wcześniej nie chronionych metalowych końcówkach przyłączeniowych przewodów. Chroniłoby to je przed wilgocią i brudem w przyszłości. Żyjesz w Kanadzie, o wiele wilgotniejszym miejscu niż np. Kalifornia. Masz też więcej soli na drodze.

Thanks for the info! Looking forward to the rest of the videos!

Your channel is amazing! I love it! :)

Thanks!

Super odcinek, czekam z niecierpliwością na kolejny. Bardzo przyjemnie się ciebie ogląda i mam nadzieję, że kanał z czasem urośnie. Pozdrawiam 😉

I noticed you have an HEI distributor. Mine has the same setup. Mine requires a full 12volts all the time. That wire with the fiberglass insulation is a resistor wire so it gets hot and needs to shed heat. I’m pretty sure you do not want that wire powering that distributor. You don’t need the crossover wire to the starter anymore either. It will run the way you have it but won’t last long and run crappy. Yours might be different but thought I would throw that out there.

Did you ever find out what the orange wire was firy

Enjoying the videos but man, you squished the snot out of that connector. I think your tool didnt seat onto the connector properly.
