1935 Plymouth bis. coupe

[leckscheid]

My father and I are working on a 35 Plymouth that used to be my grandfather's he bought the car in the 60's (because he had one simmular to it in his youth). My dad and grandfather restored the car in the 70's (grandpa even splurged 700 bucks on real mohair interior...grandma...not too pleased) at any rate for the last ten years it's been sitting around. We've done a little clean up work to it, but are now trying to figure out the electrical wireing...it seems grandpa put new wires in, and probably added a few too. Currently the engine is a chevy engine (the original engine is still at grandma's). Does anyone have any tips or good reference books on how to re-wire this car?

We are looking to keep it as original as possible

Added question...when my grandfather owned the car there was a rumble seat...that wasn't standard correct, the car just had a huge trunk.

I have a wiring diagram, but, it is of no use until you put the correct engine in the car. If you want a modified plymouth with a chevy engine (presumably 12 volts instead of 6 volts) you will have to custom wire it. Recommend you see grandma before she gets rid of the engine and transmission.

You could get coupes with rumble seats in 35. The opening was the same size as the trunk lid. If it was originally a rumble seat and not converted, the rear window will roll down.

We do intend on putting the original engine (we're going up to grandma's in two weeks). Where can I find the original wireing diagram...and the chevy engine is a 6 volt.
