Re: New Member, New Car...



John,

I'd make sure to check the wiring very carefully for cracked insulation and loose terminals. You car does not have any type of protection for the wiring between the battery/alternator and the fuse panel and you can end up with burnt wiring very easily. The wiring harness in my `66 Rebel had a few shorts when I got it and I ended up with a fried wiring harness.

Also, I have 1966 car wiring diagrams on my website (http://www.mattsoldcars.com) in the Technical Information section. I don't know if 1965 and 1966 is exactly the same but AMC was very consistent in their wiring so it should be close enough.

Yup, I figured that the reason I couldn't find online listings  for the
bulbs was age, I was just concerned that availability for them might be a
problem.  Glad to hear that they are commonly available!  The first thing I
have to do is get the lights straightened out, of all the lights only the
right hi-beam and the left blinker is still working.  Following that is
fluid changes, brakes, suspension, and sometime get something done to the
interior which is 99% shot.  I'll leave the engine alone for a whole, since
it seems to be running well.

Thanks for the info, and that link.  That website looks to have lots of
content and good links to even more info.
