Thank you very much! This is going to be extremely helpful for me. I got a noname wiring system without any instructions and I see now it's the same as the speedway and their instructions will work. 👌👌

[@BadHombreGarage]

I’m glad you found it helpful!

[@IowaMercMan]

Funny. I was throwing out tips and tricks last week, and you were way ahead of me. Nice job!

[@BadHombreGarage]

Oh no, your tip was noted! I did as much as I could while the dash was apart and I didn't have to lay on my back.

The semi-original hack job wiring harness in my 66 Chevy desperately needs replaced. Thanks for the video; a little help goes a long way.

[@BadHombreGarage]

Thanks! I hope this helps make it easy for you.

Hi Joe , very handy information .Sure is a whole lot better than old cloth covered wires , and the worries associated with them .Well thought out Joe . Thanks for posting .

[@BadHombreGarage]

Thanks! I used up too much brain power in this one. I need to finish the car so I can just drive it.

[@JohnMartin-eb7jn]

Watched you video. I have called speedway twice on how to mount the fuse box due to their lack of a mounting bracket. Speedway had no clue that there is no product in their kit to mount the fuse box. After seeing your link for a bracket i ordered one. Thanks for that tip.

[@BadHombreGarage]

Very cool! Thanks to you guys that watch the videos we got it figured out. That’s what it’s all about! But yeah if you want to call Speedway again and let them know how helpful my videos are, I mean that’s cool too… 😎

[@hellraiser1478]

Would like to replace the harness in my '77 Big10, but not sure if I should use the 12 or 22 circuit. Don't have power windows, power locks, AC or CB radio. Not even a dome light, but would like to have the option to add one. The 22 circuit has a lot of extras and is only $10 more than the 12, so I'm leaning towards the 22. I'm totally new to all this and looking for suggestions, questions and answers. Thank you for the great video-tutorial. Cheers

[@BadHombreGarage]

Thanks for watching and for taking the time to ask a question! I think that you can't go wrong with the 12 circuit, but that if you did get the 22 circuit you'd be able to add more accessories later on. I'd probably go with the 22 if I was building that '77.

[@juanbarturen2726]

Very good information. Thank you. I'm going to go Speedway 12 circuit on my O'l Beater 54 Chevy truck. I almost screwed up and ordered a no name harness. Probably nothing but trouble. I will be contacting you. Thanks.jb

[@parkergriffin955]

So I had a question about the flasher/hazard wires.. snd the speedway turn signal set up. Turn signal diagram shows 3 pin flasher but 12 circuit kit comes w/2 pin. So not sure how to wite them, any advice? Thanks

[@BadHombreGarage]

Thanks for checking out the video! You’re right, the setup is kind of a pain with the 2 pin. I used the 3 pin flasher; honestly I can’t remember exactly which wires I used, but I can check it out when I get home and tell you how I did it. There’s also an explanation in part 2 of my wiring video- go check it out and if you have questions shoot me an email at [e-mail].

[@jeffb4388]

@@BadHombreGarage I had the same issue and converted to a 3 pin flasher which also happens to be a headlight pigtail.

[@SuperDirtyred1]

Hello, Great Video. I have a problem maybe you can help. I just bought a Amc Jeep 290 304 360 390 401 Pro-Billet Ready-to-Run Distributor. No Instructions. I don't want to wiring it wrong . Sure I think I know how to do it . But i'd rather be right than wrong. Gray Tach wire . Black ground anywhere I suppose Block . Red positive coil with my hot Ignition wire . Orange must go to the Negative side of coil ? I've looked all over there website No wiring instructions .

[@BadHombreGarage]

That all looks right to me. I agree, orange wire to negative side of the coil. Just make sure you have good grounds… block grounded to the frame, body grounded to the frame, battery grounded to the frame…

[@666banger]

Hombre, on your 12 circuit harness, did the ignition switch power wire branch into two? I can't make sense of that. Where does the extra wire go on the ignition switch?

[@BadHombreGarage]

Well, I just spent the last 30 minutes going through my wiring paperwork and laying under the dash of my car to see if I could help you out. Unfortunately, I can’t see where that wire branches. Does yours branch close to the ignition switch? Is it the wire labeled “33 Ignition Switch Power”?

[@666banger]

Yup that's the one. I think I have everything wired correctly but somehow I am not getting any spark. I'm thinking maybe that black pigtail has to go somewhere. I appreciate all your help. May you be rewarded in hot rod heaven!

[@BadHombreGarage]

@@666banger I will keep thinking about this and trying to come up with a solution.

[@666banger]

Talked to Speedway. You can cut the black pigtail off if you don't need extra accessory power. I am still not getting spark. Time to roll up these sleeves!

[@bryco32]

What did you do for a Reverse light wire? I cannot believe this harness is missing this.

[@BadHombreGarage]

Great question! I do not have one. I believe that if you were connecting to an existing reverse light switch in your factory column or in the transmission, it would be pretty easy. But, yes you are right- they should have one!

[@bryco32]

@@BadHombreGarage Yeah it's crazy. Even the $35 and $50 harness' on amazon include this. I have to have them even on my Old arse Jeep cj5 for safety inspection. I never got a reply from Speedway about this when I found it out last week when I started wiring it up. I guess I'll have to use the 3rd brake light wire they included in the kit and figure out how to wire it. Also What Blinker relay did you use? My 22 circuit kit didn't include it. I don't know if mine was a opend return or what.. Instructions and picture says it was supposed to come with it. I'm really trying to not let the hiccups let me down. But Some other guys on the Early Jeep forums used the bare bones $50 cheapo harness without any issues. I had to go all out and spend $175 more on this thing.... :/

[@BadHombreGarage]

@@bryco32 I had to use a 3 prong flasher to make the turn signals work. I used a cheapie turn signal unit, like the $13 kind you can get on Amazon. It won’t work with the 2, 2 prong flashers that usually come with the kit. In my old Jeep (‘64 CJ5), the turn signal switch looks about the same, so I imagine it would work the same. By the way, I’ve emailed speedway several times and have never heard back from them. I have had good luck with their phone line.

[@ScottRods]

Funny how we start running out of words the later we work, lol. Do you have a link to where I could download that wiring manual?

[@466Kishan]

I have the 22 circuit harness and there isn't an instruction booklet like the one for the 12 circuit 😢

[@BadHombreGarage]

Bummer! I just installed the 22 circuit kit on a truck for my day job and was pretty happy with the information that came with it. Just apply the same principles of drawing out a map of each electrical component and where it is located before you lay out the wires.

[@andrewconrad8751]

Hey awesome video. I have this same kit and only have power on half of the fuse block. Any ideas why this might be? I have double and triple checked everything. It's driving me absolutely crazy.

[@BadHombreGarage]

Hmmm, there’s a chance the fuse block is messed up, like a break in the common bus inside of it. I would just make sure the main power wire (the fusable link wire) is connected right, and if so then I’d bet the fuse block is messed up in the inside.

[@BadHombreGarage]

Did you figure it out? I was messing with my car yesterday and thought of something really simple. Is the key on? With the key turned off only about half of the fuse block has power, and when I turn the key on they all have power. I know, maybe too simple but it had me going for a few minutes while I was checking fuses.

[@juanbarturen2726]

Thank you. Very Helpful. What is the part number for that kit you are using please? And the manual?
