I am starting to work on another SS project. It is a 71SS and has a few issues. I just want to get it started and go from there. There was no starter when i got her. The engine harness was also missing ends. I extended the starter wires with correct ends. However they had a heavy wire coming through the firewall. Under the dash it looks like they cut a thick purple with white stripe wire and sent it through the firewall to the starter, but there were no ends to attach to the starter. I also have no power at all in the car, no lights no dash lights, nothing. There is also no power at this purple with white stripe wire. I know there is more than one problem, but if i can get her running then i will attack the other problems.
Question is why did they cut the purple with white stripe wire? Key switch bad, neutral safety switch bad? I don't know why they would of done this?
I will get new harnesses if that's what it would take. Just want to make sure that's what it is first.
Any help on this would be great. Thanks
