Today i bought a wiring harness that came out of a 99 Explorer.
And I believe it will get me going on getting "grandpa"s hot rod" going.
It's a 57 Ford Fairlane which my wife inherited from her father.
His widow and my wife got crossed up and she wouldn't sign the title over. Fast forward ten years and she finally relented.
So, it looks like we can now proceed with getting this old steamship back on the road.
The plan is a mild 351W OBDII with 4R70w.
