1939 Spec wire harness


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi Greg;

I have a '37 Special that I just finished re-wiring with a new harness.  

The '37 has a 3-prong plug under the dash that connects the dash harness to the trunk harness, but I also re-used my original.

 

I'll share the link to the photos of how I did it, but I learned after that you can unsolder the wires from the "male" side of the plug.  I didn't know that and was hesitant to overheat things.

 

Here's my wiring link to some photos:  (Just click that single arrow on the top right corner)

 

 

Good Luck!

I purchased it from Rhode Island Wiring in March / April this year. 

What I found very helpful was that I went through the wiring diagram "blueprint" and labeled the wires to where they go.

 

That way I didn't have to constantly refer to the instructions for every little wire.... just follow your tags and assemble away!

I need to replace the engine harness this winter for my '39 Century and am dreading working under the dashboard.  Could I remove the steering wheel and then the instrument panel to make it more convenient?  Regards, Gary V

I agree with Billy.  Remove the front seat.

Me too, and I laid a pillow over the 3 pedals.

Drug all the tools I thought I needed in on the first trip.

Got the rest on the second trip and was quite comfortable, once I laid down.

Learned the benefits of a neon trouble light too. No heat !!!
