Hi guys,
I'll try and be as brief as possible.
About a year ago I bought a 76' Z and it seemed to be everything I could
have wanted. Body was strait, no frame rust, strong engine, etc. I'm no
mechanic, which is half of the problem lol, but like the topic says, I have a
wiring problem. No idea what it may be. I had a friend of the family who is
a certified mechanic look at her and he said the wiring was shot and that
because so many people had messed with it, it would basically need rewired.
Maybe she didn't like him, he DID get shocked.
The car runs great, and I just redid the brakes, swapped the FI for an AZC
intake manifold and Holly carb, and threw on a MSA 6-into-1, running into
a 40 series flowmaster, 82ZX's 5 speed, etc. I honestly didn't know how to
look for major wiring problems and put work into this car thinking it was ok.
The headlights were a little dim and my hazards didn't work, but I didn't
worry too much. Brake lights work fine. Basically, I live in a town home, the
inspection is out, and time is ticking before it's towed. Don't really know
anyone who is willing to help me park her until the problem is solved and it
seems like an expensive and/or painful task. My hopes are basically dashed.
Does anyone know where I can get an aftermarket harness that will be
durable and not completely impossible to install, or am I truly boned?
I know some trustworthy people who could help me, but if it's an expensive
job, I may have to give up, which breaks my heart. I mean, I can BUY
an inspection sticker and give myself time, but if I can't fix her reasonably,
why bother. I have a 1 year old and I was recently laid off from my job at
the telephone company after 5 years. LOL, seems I'm boned on all fronts...
Sorry for the long post, just don't know what to do anymore.
