Thought I would show AF8 tool use, the 4 way crimper, on packard shells. This covers the 'male' end, ill post females later. This seems correct, based on looking at disassembled originals, but if there are errors, please do correct me. The rubber shell goes on the wire first, followed by...

Its Cortez burning his ships time. Got the open questions open regarding what connects to what (which did match the wiring diagram unsurprisingly) but a couple parts like the foot dimmer didn't have markings so I did want to trace things like that. With the last bits mapped out, I was able...

I could try stuffing two cables into a larger ring terminal and crimping two in one maybe

This project is very tedious. Everything is a tremendous pain in the backside. It is worth doing as I am finding corroded, worn, and vulnerable items pretty much everywhere so its good that this system is getting attention. Not electrical, but this has bugged me for awhile. The knock out...

Two large hurdles cleared, cannon plug/connector and battery box The cannon plug is a tremendous pain. The prestolite wire takes alot of heat and time to tin properly and that seemed to be the key in getting good connections with the solder cups. There is little space to work and seeing...

I got the ground connections cleaned up, which actually wasn't straightforward to do. My truck is grounded through master switch, to the frame, then ground strap from frame to engine mount. You can get a wrench on the bolt at the frame, but its much easier with the muffler removed. I suppose...

Can anyone identify this heater blower? There is no part number on this, and it isn't standard to the M37. It works but it sounds like it vibrates or shakes when starting up, it quiets down, but it may need service/replacement? nearing completion on mapping. I got the AF8 tool, so I can...

My apologies, I don't follow the first part of this. Do you mean the SignalStat is undesirable? For the second part, I agree, but its too late now, so many parts are different (eg distributor assembly) it wouldn't be practical to go back to 24, even if I would prefer it. As I am working on...

Me contemplating my wiring looms before cutting them open I may have found the foundational issue: The 2ga wire coming from positive battery to solenoid (then to the rest from there) is worn through in 3 spots, the worst is shown above. It appears burned so this may have been the or a cause...

I am finding corrosion and wire rot in several areas. I disassembled the barrel connector and cleaned it thoroughly, I have seen some types of oils cause electricity jump in communications barrel connectors so getting it cleaned up should help, ill post photos of that process. It isn't easy...

canofworms.gif I am going through the likely suspects, the wire seems rotted in parts which may have been the issue. I may just have to redo it. That does not seem like a straightforward task. At least I got to drive it for a day 🥳

My M37 is done rebuild (engine/transmission) and is running beautifully. I do have an electrical system issue, however. Symptoms include: Turn signal and headlights are intermittent, but mostly not working. I have not found a pattern to what makes it work vs not work, like jiggling a wire...
