Hooray! You got some good tools and materials for doing your wiring. If everything is set correctly and you do it right, those crimp connections are stronger than the wire itself. The crimp tool won't let you over or under crimp the connections, which is a very good thing. Yes, they are way more expensive than a $15 "kit" from the Mart of Walls, or your local auto parts shop, but they will produce more reliable, safer crimp connections. And using a lighter can actually burn your shrink tubing, as you noted. Then the tubing is brittle, and can crack resulting in shorts or corrosion. SO good to see people using professional tooling to do this important part of the job. It's a wonder we don't see way more people stuck on the side of the road, with some of the things I've seen on the Tube. Thanks for all the great content, you guys rock!
At least you guys have different colored wires ....guy who wired my last race car used 1 color for everything and didn't label any, fun to troubleshoot. And yes it was me!
Emily those of us out of job probably can't contribute but we are grateful to those who can and to you and Aaron for putting content where we can see it too. Hey we like boo boos too! We also learn from you guys!
Emily and Aaron...You two are awesome! You provide so much inspiration to us old guys that haven’t worked on much other than a small block Chevy in an old Impala. Keep up the great content! Cheers 🍻
I’ve got 2 suggestions. 1) run an earth from engine block to Sniper base (terminate on mounting stud), 2) give the wires running to the battery some protection, if the positive shorts there is no fuse until the back of the wheel well...
Quite honestly, an EFI ground needs to be directly to the Battery,and best to have all EFI grounds so connected in series to reduce the "bulk" of multiple grounds. AND 12V power to the ECU (the keep alive circuit for the ECU) should be connected directly to the positive post with the "master fuse" as close as possible to the battery. And considering that their Odessy battery was 2 posts each, the 5/16 / 8mm studs make for a "terminal post" for connections like that. Battery cables to the posts intended for them. Too many "shared" connections on either side can present problems that are self-induced upon assembly or crop up as the vehicle is used over time. Oh, and don't use the same 'terminal / screw threads' to power fuel pump/s; they need to be run thru a relay wired to the ECU and can be powered off the "starter" cable as "motors" like that aren't as sensitive to minor fluctuations in current draw.
Not sure if this is appropriate nor wanting to take away anything from the AWESOME channels you and Aaron have built...Dad didn't want me to say anything to anyone, however...about 3 months ago he called me and gave me news about him being sick. Not knowing for sure, he emailed confirmation on him being stg 4 pancreatic cancer. 5 times at Chemo, he still has good spirits about himself and resurrected a greater belief in God! He remembers meeting you guys (in Columbus Goodguys show with Church Bros.) and how down to earth you both were. He won't be able to finish his own '76 Bronco, but it is going to stay in our family. You are both an inspiring duo and I am glad to see the videos and great content! My request from you and the whole car culture world is say a prayer for my father, Rick and remember to keep working on the great cars and content! Sorry such a long response! Craig Loucks
That was a truly inspirational look up your nose at very close range, sorry had to say something about it. Your video quality and editing are excellent, iswear that dog would sit on top of a volcano if you asked him to as long as you are there Emily. Thanks
As my Dad used to always tell me (more like holler), "Never ever set tools on the battery." It only took one time of arcing it to finally understand why. It destroyed his favorite ratchet and nearly killed his No. 1 son (that would be me, first born).
I was going to ask if anyone else cringed when Emily placed the crimping tool on top of the battery, it gave me the willies. Emily Please use more caution where you place your tools, I don't know if you have ever seen what happens when a battery explodes, lets just say it ain't pretty. Speaking of pretty, if you're standing anywhere near that battery when it goes off it might just be the end of your modeling jobs. Stay safe.
You should have your negative battery cable from battery to engine and engine to frame and frame to body. Just FYI. This is how I look at it- first engine will run without the vehicle so it needs a power source, battery and engine connected will run. Or you can also look at it like for the power circuit you would want the shortest distance in a positive to negative loop to create the least amount of resistance and most efficient charging circuit so then the frame would become the main grounding source for all of the body and in the case of a pickup the bed as well. That's just my thoughts on an electrical system anyway.
I put this kit on my 1957 ford f100 with a 302.it really is pretty simple to do,the hard part is having a clean wire routing.the throttle response is amazing,i have to be careful from a stop light cause I will break the tires loose.
Suggest taking the time to solder and heat shrink tubing all wire connections. I can't begin to count the number of bad crimp splices I have cut out and repaired with a good solder joint in the last 40+ years. Crimp joints develop corrosion over time and the result is a compromised connection. With that said, I haven't used the combination crimp/heat shrink connectors I've seen lately. I believe those should be better as they likely prevent moisture intrusion.
I'm looking at the Holley Sniper EFI for my 79 F250 to make the cold starts a little smoother, and the different altitudes even better when we take it out.
Hopefully that '53 was converted to 12 volts years ago. 55 years ago a friend of mine had a '55 Mercury that the previous did the 6 - 12 volt conversion; Gary had the fastest windows in town, with the 6 volt electric window motors running on 12 volts! New modern radio as of 1965 when Gary owned it and everything else was taken care of; wiper motor had been converted from vacuum to a later 12 volt Ford wiper motor as I recall. about everything else was solved with 12 volt light bulbs to replace the 6 volt bulbs. 6 volt startes sure cranked the engine over a lot faster on 12 volts. LOL Wires were thicker / larger gauge made to handle twice the current that similar 12 volt components required, so not an issue. P(ower) = I x E I am old enough to have worked on cars from the 1950's as the industry slowly went from 6 to 12 volts as compression was increased in V-8 engines and "grew" larger CID-wise.
Hay Emily, when I'm working in a confined spot I put a shenk tube on the paperclip to keep from ground it on stuff. 🎇 Nail polish may work to !!Lmao just something to try !!! Love the video!! Thanks for sharing !!! 👍💯👍🧨
Very tempted to put a holly dominator on me old 215 range rover. Runnig a 390 holly carb at the moment. Which is brilliant, the jury still out on the fuel injection package (mainly cuase of the £2800 price tag)
THANK you for using a heat gun on the shrink tubing, and NOT a cigarette lighter! The lighter will just burn the tubing, and allow it to fail in the future... The heat gun is the correct tool for the job +1
A tip you may already know, but I don't think I've seen you share with your audience. Wire terminals' portions that the bare leads go into are flat metal bent into a closed 'C'. When crimping them, it is better to have the "pointy" part of the crimpers press into the solid metal, and not the closed ends. The terminals are less likely to come off. Does this make sense?
i myself appreciate 20 min. or less cause i watch or subscribe to bout 250 chanells & only allow 3 hrs. a day to computer 4 myself. but ur channel is priveledged if u go longer. luv u guys.
I have one of there batterys in my boat and its going on 4 years old and still fine only issue i have lol its the heaviest battery i have ever seen Peace
Watching Emily under the dash work on wiring I realised what a great choice the Bronco is as a project car. I can barely get under the dash of my hyundai. Also the engine bay is roomy. Emily comfortably sits on the fender with her legs in the engine bay. And I notice the fender well is not curved but is made of flat sheets, making it easy to mount stuff where ever you want. and another btw, "But you are the light of my life." I can see why, once Emily got Aaron in her sights, he didn't stand a chance. LOL (lucky Aaron)
That was in the days long before external sheet metal and inner panels were used for structural integrity for "controlled crush" in the event of a collision. Plus most vehicles of similar size these days support suspension components on the "fender well".
I'm Enamored with you Emily! We both have spouses but I can run to the end of my chain and bark! Lol, I would love you to help me put my 79 chevy crew cab C20 together as I'm no mechanic. Actually it's at a shop for all this work! I'm doing Holley EFI, MSD ignition6AL, MSD ready to run Dist, Blaster2 Coil. all installed along with a Dakota Digital HDX Cluster upgrade. Research has been daunting! You are so attractive Looks, personallity and Talent!!!
Great episode! Every time you mention products from WireCare I go to their website and look for stuff like the kit you show in the beginning of this episode. Never able to find it though. :(
Gary A Here ya go! www.wirecare.com/interest/as-seen-on/as-seen-on-finnegan-s-garage/products-used-by-influencers/ht-shop-k-hillsdale-terminal-shop-kit
Nice job, I ended up replacing the whole wiring harness on my 74. I would invest in a OEM manual for your Bronco, you can get them on CD cheaper than in book form, great thing to have. I see the Holley Sniper sits on a spacer , with the air cleaner on, does the hood clear?
Old wives tale considering how modern batteries are constructed now-a-days. No 'fumes" to ignite via a spark. But as far as safety glasses alone go, laying under anything old that has dust or loose rust is a risk to a person's eyes.
If that was at the ignition switch part of the video, a run of heat shrink tubing over the paper clip could have avoided a "short" there. Homemade tool to use in the future! Usually no problem with 12V supply side power, but with 0 - 5V sensor side wiring it could create a problem with ECU or create a minor fault that is all but impossible to diagnosis "down the road", or when you are ON the road and broke down when headed to Power Tour or another event. I am an ex-Navy Aviation Electronics Technician, VietNam era.
How's the hood clearance with that massive spacer underneath the throttle body? Will you be putting a normal air cleaner on top or something different?
i have the sniper in my bronco and i love it but the only thing i can say is keep all the efi wiring away from the spark plug wires! the signal wires insanely susceptible to interference
I would have removed the ignition switch, im too old to crawl under dashes anymore but i used to every day installing car stereos, the first one i did for a living was in a first gen Bronco like this, it was orange . I want to put a stand alone EFI on my 85 chevy Square body Silverado with a 300 hp GM crate engine, it runs ok but 16 gallons of gas doesnt last very long when your getting 11 mpg,also in NC its very cold in the winter so hard starting is a real issue here .So why did you choose this brand? some people like the Holley Sniper some like the FI TEC and then theres the FAST brand, i even saw where Fi Tec has a LS one style Injection system for LS type motors. I like EFI but its a lot of money to drop especially since i just blew 1500 for a Vintage air/heat system, i only paid 600 bucks for the entire truck lol but its all restored and pretty now.
Completely off topic here. From where you and Erin live, how many drag racing facilities/drag strips are there within about an hour drive? I enjoy you video's and projects. Oh, also, where did the blue Nova go?
edvisme There’s about three or 4 drag strips within an hour! The 72 nova was purchased by a guy in the Netherlands! The blue wagon we LS swapped belongs to our friend Max 🥰
@@flyingsparksgarage Thank you for the reply. So envious! I am in Northern Utah. The only drag strip we had (Rocky Mountain Raceways) was caught up in "greed" and was closed 2 years ago. The closest one now is about 1.5 hours away and it's only an 1/8th mile. The closest full on NHRA type 1/4 mile strip is Boise Idaho's Firebird Raceway. I had feeling that there was quite a number of Drag Strips down in your neck of the woods. Are they open year round? If it wasn't so darn hot there in the summer months I'd probably find a way to move to Texas.
@@edvisme Texas has lost its share of auto racing facilities over the years, but many were gone before Emily and Aaron were even born, and maybe you too. Same here in Northeast Illinois, but is worse for us is the loss of General Aviation fields. 8 were developed within 20 miles of where I have lived on and off since the late 1950's, where I grew up. And I miss the old Glenview Naval Air Station 8 miles away where I served as a Ready Reservist 1967 - 1973; I miss the Weekend Warriors overhead since 'base closure" there in 1995. The old Curtiss-Wright field before WWII; the 41st Pres Bush trained there and did carrier landing drills out in Lake Michigan onto converted iron / ore ships that sailed the Great Lakes before that war.
#1 what happened to the fender flare next to your head at the end? #2 you are way too comfortable under the dash, but since it's a ford I guess that's a selling point lol.
@@flyingsparksgarage You guys are great. Love your vids. I am 64yo and struggling to get to my project car through all the usual trivial life distractions. I get inspiration from you to keep at it. Thank you, very much.
I have been a mechanic for over 40yrs, am impressed. Keep on truvkin

@9:44 NO Emily! Not the YELLOW Wire! It's always the Red Wire!🤣🤣🤣
- You should always wear safety glasses when working over a battery. They can and will blow up. All it takes is a small spark.
Old wives tale considering how modern batteries are constructed now-a-days. No 'fumes" to ignite via a spark. But as far as safety glasses alone go, laying under anything old that has dust or loose rust is a risk to a person's eyes.
Is that's why you call it the channel flying sparks 🤔 because you had some going on there 😂 - lol.

@@flyingsparksgarage Thank you for the reply. So envious! I am in Northern Utah. The only drag strip we had (Rocky Mountain Raceways) was caught up in "greed" and was closed 2 years ago. The closest one now is about 1.5 hours away and it's only an 1/8th mile. The closest full on NHRA type 1/4 mile strip is Boise Idaho's Firebird Raceway. I had feeling that there was quite a number of Drag Strips down in your neck of the woods. Are they open year round? If it wasn't so darn hot there in the summer months I'd probably find a way to move to Texas.
@@edvisme Texas has lost its share of auto racing facilities over the years, but many were gone before Emily and Aaron were even born, and maybe you too. Same here in Northeast Illinois, but is worse for us is the loss of General Aviation fields. 8 were developed within 20 miles of where I have lived on and off since the late 1950's, where I grew up. And I miss the old Glenview Naval Air Station 8 miles away where I served as a Ready Reservist 1967 - 1973; I miss the Weekend Warriors overhead since 'base closure" there in 1995. The old Curtiss-Wright field before WWII; the 41st Pres Bush trained there and did carrier landing drills out in Lake Michigan onto converted iron / ore ships that sailed the Great Lakes before that war.
#1 what happened to the fender flare next to your head at the end? #2 you are way too comfortable under the dash, but since it's a ford I guess that's a selling point lol.
Darlin that's not a big battery. The one in my boat weighs a little over 150lb & is twice that size.
AAAAhhhhh! Hand tools on the battery! Is it charged up? Are you trying to create another kind of flying sparks?
Gary LeLacheur I gotta do something dumb on every episode so y’all have stuff you can give me a hard time about!
@@flyingsparksgarage You guys are great. Love your vids. I am 64yo and struggling to get to my project car through all the usual trivial life distractions. I get inspiration from you to keep at it. Thank you, very much.

For your book of useless information: don't forget to dip the ends of the wire (that go into the barrel of the crimp) in "NO-OX-ID"
Personally I blame squirrels
