Centeck Wiring Harness (Naples, FL)

[cgbexec]

It sucks that there are very few Bronco guys in or near Naples, FL. I could really use some help with a Centech wiring harness this weekend. Mechanically I am very good, electrical wiring however is not my strong suit.

I can supply beer, pizza, rum, vodka, burgers, whatever you want! ;D

It is a long shot, but I figured I'd ask.

Whatever I want huh, how about a plane ticket? I happen to be an electrical engineer... ;D Nice rig!

 

[cgbexec]

Damn! If you think you could wire the whole thing in a weekend, I might take you up on that plane ticket, although from Washington, that could be a pretty penny.

the only thing i ever hooked up was a car stereo, I hooked up my centech without any big problems, even wired in a delay wiper switch with help from this site. If you don' have the ignition switch adapter GET IT . Take your time and good luck

I am 95% finished with the dash. I have all of the switches in, the fuse panel installed, I am trying to figure out how to light up the two switch indicator panels. The centech harness does not have plugs for it, so I am going to have to figure out what wire to attach and daisy chain it to the next one and then ground it. I also have to install my two push button momentary programming switches for my Dakota digital gauge panel. Last but not lease is I have to drill a hole for my new Bronco lighter (cell phone charger).

Then I will be ready to install the dash and start pulling the harness where it needs to go.

The Centech directions are poor at best, but the harness seems very well constructed.

I did a full wiring harness from centech almost eight years ago. I was very pleased and everything is still in good shape. I too am not an electrician but as long as you take your time it should be pretty easy. Good luck! I wish I lived closer, not only would I like to help I would also enjoy the warmer weather.

I'm not to far away but I'm sicker than a dog right now and don't plan on going out unless I have to. I may end up not making the get together tomorrow if I don't feel better soon. SWMBO is sick and the little guy is catching it now. 3 out of 4 are sick in the house.

I'm not the best electrical guy around but not afraid of it either. Nice bronco!

Stay away, far away!

I love to have you down for the day one weekend when you are feeling much better. My problem most of my friends are not mechanically inclined at all. They can do little more than hand me a screw driver when I ask for it and sometimes I have to crawl out from under the truck to show them what I am talking about. It would be nice to have someone around that at the very least underdstands Broncos to bounce things off of.

I hope you feel better real soon.

Sincerely,

Chris B.

Thank you very much. After 2 1/2 years of work, it is almost done. I can't wait to drive it. I layed in bed last night until 2 AM thinking of what I have to do next to get her running.

I'll make it down one weekend to vist or help out and maybe I will have an EB soon to work on for myself. I would be glad to help if you still need it, when I'm feeling better.

too bad I am not closer....I would love to help.

I would love to help but I probably know less about electrical work than you. I am not looking forward to when I have to install a new wiring harness.

I am very good at fabricating stuff and all the mechanicals, but electrical is not my forte. I do have all the tools to do it, it is just I have never rewired an entire vehicle. The one wire altenator is confusing to me as the kits are designed for the original external wire altenator. the Starter I am using is also solenoid on the starter and eliminates the seperate ford solenoid. That is going to get a little complicated in my mind at least. I will work on it this weekend and if I get completely lost, I will have to call in proffesional help.

The offer is still open if anyone is close by.

which centech wiring did buy? is it the one the Tom's Bronco is selling for Carb engines?

 

[cgbexec]

It is the Centek kit that Jeff's Bronco Graveyard sells and it is set up for a stock carburated Bronco. It of course can be modified to work with other combinations.

I am almost done with the wiring. I should be ready to start her in about 2 weeks.

Stay with it! ;D

I just started the re-wire of my 77, my 2nd Bronco with a Centech harness. I learned alot from the 1st re-wire and I am making a few mods to make the EFI conversion easier this summer.

Too bad you live on the East side, or I would take you up on the food and Drinks

I'll be down in Estero over thanksgiving weekend if you still need a hand. Installed a Centech harness in my EB 2 summers ago (glass tub so I'm used to tracing funky grounds).

 

[Silverhorse]

Let me know what you need, i have the same set-up
