Yep I am in building C spots 107-109. Its on the long sided wall right next to the large rollup door going outside. I'd say I'll be the only one there with a big red beard and ball cap on. No real list really. Some stuff I've posted here and bunch of other junk that's not worthy of some of the cars or folks on this site.

In the midst of getting together for the swap meet I pulled the column and decided to give it some attention. Nothing major just yet but the turn signal arm and flasher knob turned out ok.

Photos 468 - 471 - After a simple soak in evapo and a little polishing with the buffing wheel.

Now that I have some floor space I decided to pull the harnesses out for their cleanings. First up is the headlight harness. As you can see it was pretty dirty but the results are surprising and I feel the harness is in very good shape. I will need to replace one plug connector and a plastic clip but I should have enough old harnesses to replace the items needed. I hope.


Photos 475 - 480 - Before photos of the engine and you will see the engine harness attached as well.




Cleaning was pretty straight forward. As you can see the black spray bomb in certain areas. I will do a final wipe down with xylene before installing but just want to get the majority off while I have the opportunity. Citrus degreaser, green Scotchbrite pad and a microfiber rag to wipe it down.


Photos 481 - 487 - Current stage of cleaning. I will continue cleaning the bulk head connector and continue on to the engine side of the harness.

Couple more items off the to-do list. Clutch & brake pedal assembly and main interior harness.


Photos 489 - 490 - Before soaking in Evaporust and after cleaning with citrus degreaser and scotchbrite pad.


Photos 491 - 494 - After Evapo but before treating with RPM (Rust Prevention Magic)


Photos 495 - 496 - Wiring harness after cleaning


Photos 497 - 498 - Here's something interesting. The pass side door jamb switch.


Photos 499 - 502 - Last of the wiring harness. I still need to clean the fuse box itself but the harness itself is ready to go. Anyone cracked the coding on the sides of the flashers? One is 7 4 5 and the other is 1 5 3. If I were guessing it'd be 67 - 45th day and 71 53rd day.?. But I hate assuming.

To round out the clutch/brake pedal assembly are the master cylinder pushrod, clevis & return spring.

Photos 503 - 506 - after soaking. Note the manufacturer’s crest and the stamp.

Small updates. Cleaned the fuse box and reinstalled what fuses were in it when pulled from car. Replaced the starter wire from a spare harness I had. Repair was done with interlocking the wire ends and soldering the connection then covering with heat shrink followed by wrapping the wires back with original style tape. The ends were crimped and heat shrinked as well. Also applied a healthy coat of RPM (Rust Prevention Magic) to the pedal assembly and reassembled.


Photo - 503 - Fuse box before

Photo - 504 - Fuse box after with fuses installed

Photos 505 - 506 - starter wires repaired and a comparison to original.

Photos 507 - 509 - Pedal assembly protected and assembled. Note the pedal never had the bracket that goes on the pedal for the brake light switch which I believe was a later addition into production.

Darrell, what was your method for cleaning the fuse block? You've brought that back nicely! - Bill W

Q-tips and rubbing alcohol. Just be careful around the ink printing on the face. As you can see I lost some of it on mine. Then Meguiars rubber & vinyl protectant.
