Re: "Papa Smurf" - 1966 GMC 1500 Custom
My truck did a very good toaster impression today. Lots of smoke coming out of the air vents.
Long story short, something in the original harness was shorted and melted almost every electrical wire inside the cab. And it only took a few seconds. I saw smoke, I unhooked the battery, everything was burnt and melted.
All the wiring I did is fine. It isn't melted, it didnt even get warm. The only thing I did with wiring was remove/replace the resistor wire, remove the alternator external regulator, and repair wires that were spliced for accessories that no longer exist in my truck. Everything is wired up according to my 65-66 GMC FSM.
I don't even know if my truck runs with the new distributor because I never got the chance to crank it over.
