Gino,
you have a 40 year
old wiring harness that has been hacked up, modified, and is causing you
problems left and right. I highly recommend a new wiring harness and complete
rewiring of the car. The original wire was barely good enough at the time.
Much better wire and insulation is available today, and if you start putting in
accessories, higher output alternators and additional demands on the system
you will need a good quality wiring system to handle it.
It
doesn't sound like electrical systems is your strongest talent, and that's ok,
everyone has things they are good at and things they aren't. But with very
little wiring experience and electrical knowledge I'd go for a plug and play
harness like M&H.
If you
were more into doing some things yourself you can save a lot of money and still
get quality wiring, you just have to put more work into it. Special Muscle Car
wiring harnesses are looking pretty good to me from places like EZ wiring and
Centech. They have a ton of options available such as circuits for power
windows, power seats, and much more. But like I say, they will require some work
with putting on connectors and such.
Just
my opinion, but I wouldn't want to see my classic go up in flames due to bad
wiring.
Steve

Subject: [Chevelle-List] More electrical problems!Well, my electrical situation is getting worse. My brake lights are no longer working! They have been ok and all of a sudden they stopped working. What should I check first.
Also, through further inspection, I just realized that the ribbon cable that goes throught the interior and out through the back has been cut and bypassed. This is why my wiring is all screwed up. Is there any companies that will sell me this ribbon cable? I really need some help.
Thanks,
