Wiring cleanup
Hey all
I've got myself into a fun project here, I have two cab and Chassis trucks. One is a 76 with roasted drive line and tired 390. The other is an 86 with a rebuilt 6.9, t19. decent drive line but rotted can. I'm sure you can guess what I'm doing.
So far I've stripped down the 86 and threw that old rusty cab in the garbage. The 76 cab will go into the 86 frame with a flat deck then I'll call it a day.
Now down to my problem. The 6.9 has had a lifetime of people splicing and cutting and ruining the wiring harness I'd like to clean it all up right down to absolute basics.
What all electrical components does this bad girl need aside from power, ignition feed from the cab and ground?
Could get away with the starting charging system, glow plugs and whatever is required for fuel?
Hopefully you all can help.
For you Instagram savy folks I'm posting progress as I can

cold idle and cold advance, depending where you are may not even be needed, never needed GP in a 6.9 in South Texas except 4 or 5 days out of the year.

-Battery + for alternator
-Starter
-Glow plugs
-Fuel shutoff solenoid
-Cold advance and associated switch
-Cold idle and associated switch
-plus whatever the chassis needs for headlights, heater blower, etc.
Cold idle and cold advance are nice to have below 40 degrees F, but you can do without.
This is a good read, if you get the chance: http://www.stanadyne.com/dealerporta...lletin/108.pdf
Basically, you can very easily convert our injection pumps to require no electricity whatsoever, meaning that, theoretically, after starting the engine you could drive from New York to California with no battery, no alternator, no electricity at all.
