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 can’t find any specific replacement harness for them. I’m guessing there isn’t one?
Pic 3 is an unused plug than I’m unsure of and pick 4 is also unplugged. What do these go to?
I ran the truck yesterday for about 20 minutes and shut it off. Half an hour later, I went to start it and it clicked once and then now it’s completely dead, no interior lights, headlights etc. with a key in the run position, the battery gauge will come on and show good voltage, but the second you try to start it, gauges shut down. I’m guessing it’s a fusible link? Do to the fact that I have a brand new battery and starter and ground wires. Should I try to make a new fusible link? Or I’m thinking about rewiring all the power wires/ crank wire all the way to the junction block. I plan on LS swapping in a few years but would hate to spend a lot of money on a painless harness that I won’t reuse.
And on the last pic, does anyones shock to frame mount look like a nine-year-old welded it?
What would you do about the cut wires and melted wires to the heater box? Thanks for the input.
