Seems like all I do lately is ask questions. My 65 Vette has been in storage for a million years with no engine in it. Now that I have it back home and trying to get it running again I see things about it that I have forgotten where they go.
Case in point; Stock wiring harness... I have two black and purple wires joined together with a spade connector in the engine compartment wiring harness near the distributor. I also have another single spade black and purple wire coming out of the harness near the brake cylinder. Neither of these wires have voltage either with the ignition off or when in the run position. So....where are they supposed to go? The assembly manual says a black and purple wire perhaps goes to the positive side of the distributor resistor. But there is no voltage on it. I have a pink wire going to the resistor which is activated when in run position.
I also have a black plastic capped spade ground wire near the distributor that I don't remember where its connected....perhaps it goes back through the firewall to ground the instrument panel??
I should have done a better job with preparing this car for storage. I am paying the price for a bad memory.
Thanks
