Thanks, Jeff! I swapped the wiper switch & fuel tank selector, so fuel is now directly under the fuel gauge. I used an 80s intermittent wiper control, but the shaft extends over an inch from dash - makes it easier to adjust!
Thanks Jeff for the video, the links, and all those part #'s.... Going to come in handy, my friend...
thank you I just went out and took all the witches out and removed the nasty wood paneling trim mine had because its a ranger, I have been looking for an explanation for a while on how to do this! thanks!
NICE..! All Great Advise ..!
Looking back, I wish I took this route, instead of rewinding all by hand...
Question off topic, if I may.
Any update on the second part of your video on rebuilding the distributor..
(Setting it up and adjustments after the re built)..
Oooo and thanks for those clips,,, I couldn’t find them anywhere at the time... definitely going to stock up on those,, can use them everywhere..!!!! 👍
We are planning to move the Punisher to points and will do a tuning guide on that. Probably in the next couple of months.
Do you have a detailed video of the wiring on the ignition? The 65 f100 I have, the previous owner has a complete nightmare of mixed up color wiring. I don't know what goes to where, and if it's even supposed to be there in the first place. Or if he added it later. Please help.
Great!!! Too bad they don’t have a complete wire harness for my 79 Ford F-150.
But they DO. 😁

If you were doing a restoration on a vehicle older than 1980 would you replace the harness Just Because?
Only if it were as bad as this one, or I was planning a lot of upgrades. My 1967 Mustang wiring looked like a New Delhi tenement house due to all the "add on" stuff. This can neaten up the situation.
Could you show how you wired up the ignition switch I have the same harness and am having an issue getting it wired
Sorry, we can't really go back and attack that again, we might be installing an American Autowire on the '64 Falcon hardtop we are working on, but I hope this info helps:
From the instructions:
Ignition Feed
(PINK WIRE ON THE HARNESS, I THINK IT IS MARKED "COIL") This is your 12V switched power source for the distributor / coil. This can be connectred directly to the “Bat” terminal on a typical HEI Distributor, to a Ballast Resistor as in a point’s type Distributor, or to be used as the ignition power source for an Aftermarket Ignition Module such as an MSD or “Dura Spark” module. see the installation instructions for the type of Distributor you are using for specific connection requirements. If you are using a GM style HEI distributor, terminal C and connector P have been provided to make that connection
(see page 11 figure A for some examples).
Wire# Wire Color Printing Procedure
3F Pink Ignition Feed Feed for the ignition
The ignition plug on the switch should be a plug and play, thread it on the switch provided and mount accepry wires according to instructions and you should be good to go.
Will the American autowire harness (American Autowire Complete Wiring Kit With Switches F-100 1967-1972) allow me to use LED lighting?
Yes. LED offers less voltage draw than incandescent. LEDs are only an issue in the winter where the bulbs don't create enough heat to melt snow and ice.
questions? is that the original steering column or after market? if its aftermarket where did you get it from? thanks
It is the original column.
I see y'all are about 7 hours away from my location. Do y'all do restomod work for the public? I couldn't precisely tell from the website.
Sorry Brad, we are not taking on new work. I have more than I can do now. I appreciate the vote of confidence.
Does this harness fit a right hand drive f100?
It might could. I would contact AAW and chat with them.
Any info on the harness haggers?
Not sure what that is?
@@AutoRestoMod the clips untape onto the harness to secure it to body. I do not see a link to them
Hey will this Harness fit a 1977 F100 ?
American Autowire makes a kit just like this specificly for 1973 to 78 f100.
How much to do mine?😂
