    Melted wires everywhere… need some help

    Well, found the problem. I started with replacing the the ignition switch on the steering column, and found a power wire that the previous owner used to power the radio. It was spliced together by the switch then ran to the radio. It was loose so I fixed it. Still nothing. Replaced the failing...

    Melted wires everywhere… need some help

    I’m going to pull the purple crank wire tomorrow and see if it gets power with the ignition at the crank position. What I was talking about with the gauges, I can turn the key to the run position and the volt gauge and fuel gauge come on and read correctly but as soon as I try anything...

    Melted wires everywhere… need some help

    Very true, I wonder why it goes dead when I turn the headlight bezel also? I have power at the radio plug with key on also. Battery is over 13 Volts. And alternator positive tests good with a light but I could replace it if necessary.

    Melted wires everywhere… need some help

    For sure a 350. I’m puzzled too. New battery, new cables/calmps, added 2 extra grounds from the battery. I’m going to pull the brand new starter tomorrow and have it tested.

    Melted wires everywhere… need some help

    I’m unsure how long they have been like that, I got the truck about a month ago. Heater doesn’t work and there is no a/c compressor. I’m going to start replacing wiring soon, I’ll probably use a painless kit. I just wanted to drive it some before something major like that.

    Melted wires everywhere… need some help

    I have the diagrams now, and I’ll try and track down the problems. Do you know if any literature that would show resistance between circuits or ohms?

    Melted wires everywhere… need some help

    Long story short, 86 stepside 5.0, 1976 350sbc installed by last owner with an accel distributor, man choke 1405, and a lot of melted wires. Need suggestions on what to do about the cut wires from the firewall (yellow arrow). I’m guessing it goes to the heater box that has badly melted wires. I...

    Hello from Arkansas.

    New square body owner. I just picked up a great rust free 1986 Silverado stepside. I’m going to build it with my son and make some memories. I do need some help decoding the partial vin# stamped into the block. It’s a 3970010 cast 350. Suffix code is TKB so pretty sure it’s a 1976 LS9 I just...
