Old Noobie

Post by davelj »

Hello All!

I'm an old hot rodder. I have owned 5 Ford trucks and 4 Mustangs over the last 50 years, mostly classics. My first career was as an ASE certified tech so I have a bit of experience with older vehicles that may be a help to others. In the early 90's I switched over to IT and have over 20 years experience in IT/networking/security.

I just recently bought a 70 F100 flare side that the previous owner sunk a bunch of money and time into before getting in over his head. I am in the process of correcting some things and fixing some overlooked stuff as well as adapting the truck to my own tastes. It will be on the restomod side, having been converted from an I6/manual to a 351W/C6. Power steering and power brakes have also been added.

I found this site while looking for wiring info. The wiring diagrams have already pointed me in the right direction for getting the neutral switch hooked up.
