Alternator rebuild kit?
(Preview)
Can you still buy a kit to rebuild your alternator. I remember doing it twice, years ago on a couple of old GM's I owned. It was dead easy to do. The bearings (I think) are making a pretty good rattle. But the belt does look pretty sad. I'll try a new belt on it first with the proper tension, before commit...

Solar battery chargers, do they actually work?
(Preview)
I see Canadian Tire has a 1watt solar panel battery charger on sale this weekend. 70% off for a price of $7.99. I've been thinking of putting one of these on my Sea-Doo when I leave it at the cottage. I used to bring it back with me and hook it up to a battery maintainer. But I'd like to leave it up there for the s...

Anyone know a place in Ontario (or Canada for that matter) where I can buy some? The non adhesive stuff. I've only seen it on US websites. Cheers, Mark.

Harness plugs, where to buy new replacement connectors?
(
1 2
)
(Preview)
Anyone know where I can buy the Packard type 56/59 connectors used in most 60/70's GM wiring harness plugs? Again... I'm probably dreaming here, but preferably local. Not USA. In rebuilding my harness, I'd like to use new ones rather than try to re-use the originals. Will napa or a GM dealer have the...

Harness progress.
(Preview)
I've been working on my forward harness when time permits, and this is where I'm at so far. It takes a good bit of time to do this job, and I'm glad the rad support is on my bench. Detail showing from left; horn relay, ground stud, power point junction and 40a headlamp relays. Two "Littlefuse" b...

A third hand for soldering.
(Preview)
When soldering, it's always nice to have somthing to hold the wire steady, I've always seemed to fight with it when doing the smaller work, and I'm trying to do a nice job with these harness connectors. So I threw together this little jig for no real cost. 12G romex, from residential 12/2. Nice a...

Rusty fuse box
(Preview)
Anybody ever have to deal with a really rusty fuse box? The fuse tangs on mine are so rusty the circuits don't work. Are they replaceable? The picture is pretty poor but hopefully it will show you what I have to work with.

Question, what size battery charging wire? Fuse link?
(Preview)
CP electrical guru's, a couple of questions... I still have been unable to figure out a return charging wire size from the new powerpoint to the Battery. I've heard many different theories on this one. In it's stock form, it's a 10G with 14G fuse link completing the circuit back to the battery f...

Forward harness Diagram. Modified slightly.

I made up a colour harness diagram, from the bulkhead plug out to the running and marker lights, illustrating what my harness plan pretty much will look like. I've chosen to up the wire size on the running, signal and markers (20 to 16g), the main body power feed (12 to 10G), but reduce the old highbeam...

Electric choke, wire question.
(Preview)
I have an Edelbrock carb. It has a manual choke (which I prefer), but who knows, I could be adding an electric choke eventually. In building a new engine harness, I'd like to include the power wire just to have it if it's ever needed. Will a fused 14 Gauge wire be heavy enough? Is it just one wire to the cho...
