'65 Wire Harness Routing

[Michael H.]

Hello Again - does the wire harness on the pass. inner fender go inboard of the hood prop rod? I know the expansion tank to radiator hose goes outboard. Do the hose and wire harness get tied together or are they separate? Which one would get secured to the inner fender? This is a '65, SBC, no A/C. Thanks very much.

Re: '65 Wire Harness Routing

Outboard, with the hose - check out Section 12, Sheet A8 in the Assembly Manual.

Re: '65 Wire Harness Routing

Thank you for your non-answer. Yes, I know outboard with the hose, my question is about the wire harness if it too is outboard of the hood prop and if the wire harness and hose are looped together and plugged to the inner fender. If I had an assembly manual I wouldn't be posting here. Regards.

Re: '65 Wire Harness Routing

Hey Mike, Read John's answer closer. He told you the harness goes outside, along with the hose. I guess his answer wasn't a "non-answer" after all.

Re: '65 Wire Harness Routing

No, I looked at his response very carefully, his answer was the hose goes outboard, something I already knew as stated in the original post. If he went to the time and trouble to refer me to the section and page number in the Assembly Manual for the answer to my query, why not just answer the simple question I posed or don't bother with a response. Nowhere does he state anything referring that the wire harness also goes outboard of the hood prop rod. This is your statement, not his. Nor is there any reference as to how these systems are attached to the inner fender. I still have no idea what is correct. I will find the information on my own elsewhere. What is so difficult about responding to a direct question if you have the information? If you don't know don't respond, if you do, please, enlighten us all and make it easy. Once again, ego prevails over commen sense or knowledge. Regards.

Re: '65 Wire Harness Routing

Actually, John said "Outboard, with the hose ", which means, the wiring harness goes "Outboard, with the hose". The operative word here is "with". And as to your demeanor toward the poster (John), you obviously don't know who he is or what you are talking about. Your response definitely echos your own statement: "Once again, ego prevails over commen sense or knowledge." Regards.

Re: '65 Wire Harness Routing

Before you go gettin you panites in a twist, consider the fact that the answer you got not only told you what you wanted to know (wire harness goes "with" the hose, and it is outboard of the prop - sorry if you got lost, it's pretty easy to follow) but you also got a kind reference to the actual AIM page, which is bonus material. (Here's the answer, and if you want to see a picture, here is the page in the AIM). Would you have been happier with a simple "Outboard, with the hose" response absent the AIM reference?

I won't even get into the disrespect you have shown a member who took the time to type out an accurate and informative answer to your question, a voluntary act (you paid nothing for the information, right?) and for nothing more than to hear/read you kindly-worded responding post, which should have said "Thanks John".

PS - John has personally posted more "answers" to my own silly posts than I could ever repay him for.

Re: '65 Wire Harness Routing

Mike,

I read your original question and John Hinckleys reply twice, just to make sure I wasn't missing something and I thought John's response was accurate and to the point. "Outboard, with the hose", covered everything that you asked. I don't know what else he could have added that would have made it less complicated for you.

Now read this

Maybe if you can't read that "outboard, with hose" means that you run the wire with the hose, then try reading the link below.

I read yours also, and in 28 years of having Corvettes, I would have thought you would have acquired a few Corvette books on your cars. The usual ones are Noland Adams' big technical reference, The Vette Vues Fact Books, The NCRS Spec Guides, and the Assembly Manual.

Those four usually have enough information and pictures to answer most questions.

Maybe John's answer was short, but it was accurate. And maybe it was short because he was tired, he felt that was all that was needed, or maybe he and you have had some previous contact.

Maybe it could have used a little more detail, like how the hose and harness was connected or where they were connected. But answering like you did is not likely to get more information.

There are many with egoes here, but I don't think John is one of them.




Who John is

AMEN! *NM*

Re: '65 Wire Harness Routing

Mike, Go the Corvette Forum, there is a great poster there and he will give you a straight answer, he goes by John Z.
Regards, Rick

ROFL -

That JohnZ guy doesn't know half as much as a guy that goes by snake488.

John Hinckley, I'm sorry

John - I owe you an apology and I hope you accept it. My response was out of line and inappropiate, a result of frustration and anger and I vented on you. It was also out of character for me and I felt bad the next day. Then all of the emails I've received prompts me to respond.

Mike Corbin - I had every publication you mentioned and more. I sold them. I sold parts I had and I sold a twenty-five year collection of memorabilia. When my car is assembled I will sell it. When it is gone I will sell my tools, lift etc., anything to keep treatments going.

The rest of you, Mondays are chemo days for my wife. She's had a rough go for a couple years now. I try to be upbeat and positive in front of her but I'm faking it, she probably knows it but puts on a good face. She is young.

I thought I had posed a pretty straight forward question and it seemed to me like I received a glib response, I guess it wasn't. After pacing a waiting room all afternoon, when I got on this site I was tired and I lashed out, that is wrong and I regret it.

Rick Smith - thank you, I will check that out.
