Thanks! The 69 (the one with the engine) I've had since 1999. It's got quite a story to it. One day I will have to do a Voice over Slide show as I had started restoring it some 20 years ago. Of course never finished, but it's always been a runner/driver.
Awesome breakdown brotha! Very helpful to see how it’s all laid out!!! I’m jealous e over the perfect looking windshield wiper reservoir Cool video brotha!!!!!
LMAO, dude you gotta keep those AWAY from the headers! HAHAHA!! Think this one was from C&G Ford Parts in California. He sells mostly Dennis Carpenter stuff, no markup. Just ALOT quicker than waiting for the stuff direct from DC. I'm betting LMC Truck carries them too. Gotta GETCHA one! BOOOOOM BROTHA!
@@VinoRatRodbuilds Awwe geeez, that means alot coming from a great and well established You Tuber/Craftsman such as yourself!!! Thank you for the kind words, sir!!!
I actually enjoy wiring. (Its a little less dirty!) But if you haven't seen the '55 Ford, I've been rewiring it from scratch from stem to stern. I'm almost done with it.... just got back burner'd for a bit. you know how it goes! Thanks for watching Bubba!
OLY thanks buddy. I see the wiring I have is a little bit different. I didn't see your ignition module. I pretty much know where most of those were bolted down tho. I have one plug left to figure out and I think it must be for the tail light wiring. . The plug is about 1 1/2 inches wide and maybe 3 inches long. No sure on exact measurements. When I first seen it I thought cab wiring block or something. It's not tho. Thanks for the video. I appreciate it.
No problem! Kept delaying on getting it out to ya with other crap popping up so sorry it was a bit of a delay from your video. They didn't use ignition modules until 1973 (Duraspark I) and trucks didn't see them until '75 I believe, which would have been the more common Duraspark II. Not a huge deal as people do add in the Duraspark into earlier trucks especially on engine swaps. Your '72 would have originally just had a single 'resistor wire' that went straight to the coil. (dropping voltage to 6-7 volts) If you send me a picture of the plug (Email or on Instagram) and even wire colors, I could probably tell ya exactly where it goes or to what for.
Thanks Roy! I sure do like these trucks. Just wanted to help No Parts Garage with his project so he can get it going. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Hey Dano, that was nice of you to show the wiring, you are becoming one of my best Ford friends on TH-cam, lol, oh and I got your stickers, I will do a sticker video pretty soon, have a fantastic week my friend and catch you soon
You very welcome, buddy! Not many of Ford guys in the sea of Chevy dudes, even on TH-cam! But I appreciate them all. 😁 I've been slacking too. Got some mail call stuff to do too aswell! Hit me back with one of yours too! Stay safe out there and if I don't talk to ya sooner, have a Happy Thanksgiving!

It use to be REALLY nice. It has been kinda neglected over the last 10-12 years... but has fared well for not having much maintenance over the last decade! Life has a way of keeping one busy from some projects! Thanks for watching!
You are very right! Lots of little detail differences most may or may not know. Ford is well known for integrating previous year parts to exhaust inventory on new model runs. More Ford idiosyncrasies... lol
That should read , What cool stuff is over the fence? I got sad and distracted when I was writing cause Robert's said " Yeah When Spiders fly" after I asked if I could get a cheeseburger.
Well.... lets just say you could film one heck of an episode of "Hoarders" next door at the neighbors place. He grew up on a rural Idaho farm..... and well, they like to save stuff... all of it. LOL. Super nice guy, and always helpful. His place doesn't bother me, just makes mine look that much better! 🤣
Hey boss just picked up a 67 and im chasing taillight wiring. When I turn on my blinkers a box under the dash makes a high pitch buzzing nise and the blinkers don't blink. They just light up.
That's strange, can you describe what this box might be? There shouldn't be any box. Now if its a very small one, could be a modern replacement flasher. Sometimes those are square rather then round. If that's what it is, try replacing it with a new unit. If that doesn't fit the description, try and describe it to me, maybe figure this out.
Hey Mike!!! Thanks! That was filmed with my GoPro Hero8 Black. And yes quite a difference in quality compared to my older shot videos, which were done with an old GoPro Hero+. Audio is much clearer in the Hero8 too. Not cheap, but worth it for the quality in my opinion! Hope all is well!
So that wire Green w/red stripe should connect to the "I" terminal of your voltage regulator. It comes from the idiot light (charging system warning light) on the dash which is then powered buy the ignition switch through the idiot light. It excites the regulator/alternator. Is or has your charging system been working?
No not at all. Actually rather prefer to have it installed, especially if you're doing custom things with it or adding in more non-factory items. The dash is the area that becomes the hardest, and helps to have much of it removed for access.
question distributor with points. The coil negative wire goes to the distributor where does the positive side wire of the coil go? To a ballast or something then to the key switch? I've been told truck needs 12 volts to the coil to start, after that the coil shouldn't need that much voltage or it could burn {cook} the coil. please reply if you can help
@@cat49deere pos + goes to your 'key on' ignition power source.. On a points system, you will need 8-9v at the coil. Fords up till 1974 using points, used resistor wire as the power wire from the ignition switch to the coil. This wire reduces the voltage to 9v so as not to cook the points and coil and not require a ballast resistor. Take a reading of the voltage at your power wire on the + side and if its 12v, you will just have to install a 12v to 9v ballast resistor, or replace the ignition resistor wire. Hope this helps! You can run your points and coil for short periods of time on 12v but advise reducing that when you can. There are also coils out there that say they require 12v but look the same as any coil. These are for non-points applications. (i.e. Duraspark ignition)
thanks for answering. Here's a little more info. Bought a1979 F600 4x4 {taking it to the hunting shack} it had a Duraspark on it. Someone disconnected that and put a distributor with points in it. I was told it died on them, and they tried repairing, they butchered it up pretty good. So, I'm Just trying to get the old girl running again.
@@cat49deere ahhhh the story unfolds! LOL So they probably freaked out when the Duraspark brain box went out. They do, it's a very common thing. Replace the module (brain box) and 9 out of 10 times its fixed. Probably butchered it up looking for a ign. hot wire to run a simple points system to get it going. So do you want to fix the system to go back to duraspark? Or do you just want to throw in a points, or a points distributor with a pertronix unit in it. I do that sometimes, but really the module is the only thing thats ever given me trouble int he Duraspark system. The distributor never has. I'll include a link to a good thread with some diagrams in case you wanna try to repair what they've done and try to run the Duraspark. www.ranchero.us/forum/index.php?threads/duraspark-2-wiring.26908/ Otherwise, just find the key'd on hot 12v source, add a ballast resistor that drops from 12v to 8v-9v and you'll be good to go with points. Like I said before, you can run the points on 12v for a little while, but they will burn up over time. Especially the cheap junk for parts we are getting today.
Feel like this is a long shot but, on my fuse pannel the emergency/brake lights fuse is completely toasted. Is it possible to just run a 20A fused wire from the red/white wire to the red stop light switch on the brake pedal?
@@samuelgalindo3648 effectively completing the circuit outside the fuse block? I don't see why that wouldn't work. Id have to look up the wire colors, but as long as you have a constant hot thats fused, it will run that circuit.
@@samuelgalindo3648 well I'd look into what that red/wht wire is before tapping into it but i swear the brake wires were green, but I'd have to check. I'd have to pull up a diagram to see where to jump power as I am betting the fuse block is supplying the power via its internal buss bar. Maybe? I think so. But at minimum, all you need is a 12v constant hot source which you could pull from the ign switch or directly off the battery side of the starter solenoid, if you wanna go that far. And just use a 20A inline fuse. 14ga would be safe, 16ga probably be ok too.
Help me please!!!! I have my dad's old 1970 f100. My truck has some electrical issues.over by the starter solenoid. My truck has two plugs ,one is two wires and the second has three. Third has big black wire with a yellow stripe,a small yellow,then a red. No info on any site about the second harness. Also can you tell me what the wiring on the alternator goes? After two weeks this is driving me nuts.
Yes! First, can you take pictures and email them to me. Pics says much more than words in most cases. Should be able to help you sort this out. Email- Olysgarage@gmail.com I'll be home in a few hours to check.
You're gonna have to give me some pictures, or more detailed descriptions of the plugs and wires with their colors and where you can see that they run to or from.
@@roberteast4160 I didn't get any pictures. Check the spam folders and all. Nothing. Would be helpful to see these connectors. So generally speaking, the large gauge black w/yel stripe wire is power for the cab essentially. It powers up the ignition switch, fuse block and turn signal switch. As for the red, does it have a stripe? There's a couple different reds that run down that side, one one is with a blue stripe, That one goes to the "S" terminal on the starter solenoid. What's throwing me off is you're sayin it's a 3 wore plug you're searching for. I only recall 2 prong or 4 prong connectors at that time. Try again with the email: olysgarage@gmail.com
My 72 Ford F-250 missing the wires connecting to brake switch at break pedal.. do you know what wires are connected to brake switch? Is it red and red with black tracer wire?
Yep, those are the colors! Same for all 67-72 and really, pretty much most Fords. Red being hot it should pull from a shared terminal with a Red/white Tracer on the emergency flasher. The Red /Black Tracer should go back to the Turn signal switch. Hope this helps!
