Nice to see someone using the proper bullet connectors and OE style cloth-covered wiring. That's how I have done all my old Fords. I only solder my bullet ends.

[@Maine_A_S]

Thanks. It adds a bit of work and expense but I like the look of them also.

[@mlackey9812]

I haven't watched your complete video yet BUT your link to the Wiring Diagrams has been a LIFE SAVER!!!! Thank you and I'm looking forward to the rest of the Video......THANKS AGAIN!!!!

[@Maine_A_S]

Glad to help.

The white wire on will soon be grey too. Yup, I feel the same way about the “Third Brake Light,” but you’re right there are a lot of dummy drivers out there.

It is best to solder all crimp terminal connectors to copper wire to prevent oxidation of copper stranded wire in the terminals.

[@Maine_A_S]

Solder vs crimp is one of those debates that will go on forever. Thanks for watching.

[@mlackey9812]

One word......OUTSTANDING...!!!!!! Thank You!!

[@Maine_A_S]

Thanks for watching. I hope it was helpful.

Good video, I still haven’t figured my left turn signal. The schematic shows the brake switch hooked up normal.

[@Maine_A_S]

That's odd. What type of turn signal switch are you using?

[@timnewman1172]

I've always been told 6v needs heavier guage wire than 12v not sure why...

[@Maine_A_S]

That is true. The amperage is higher in 6V. I think most of the original and replacement wiring is 14 or 16 ga.

@@Maine_A_S Thanks!

[@deanjernstrom3760]

Absolutely something that I'll be doing down the road. Excellent video will help us that may have issues. Thanks.

[@Maine_A_S]

I'm glad it will help and thanks for watching. I am hoping to have the second part finished up this week.

Wiring for the model A is pretty simple, but you lost me!

[@Maine_A_S]

The turn signal wiring makes it a bit more confusing.
