EZ-Wiring for a 55...Need help!!!!!
If anyone has installed one please help. I have a few questions that I'm not too sure of. Or if anyone has wiring diagrams for the headlight, ignition, dimmer, and etc. Please reply if you can help.
Thanks,

If you have questions try calling EZ Wire. Most manufacturers are glad to help with their kits and they know them better than anyone. I called Ron Francis Wireworks a couple of times when installing mine. 56Fun

Attached is the diagram I just used rewiring my 55. It came with the harness. In uploading the image is big for some reason. If you have a prob resizing let me know and will resend. Good luck. My rewire job nearly had me in the nut house. Still fooling around with the T Signals.

What engine/other upgrades do you have? I've installed 5 of the EZ wire kits; 3 in F100s. If I can help, let me know. Be warned, I am not an electrical genius, just a parts changer who follows instructions.
One of the best booklets you can buy is "How to wire your streetrod...from start to finish". It is a $6 paperback which is sold at all the shows. Lots of basics in it.

Thanks for your replies,
Some mods are 302 from a 87 mustang. Eldelbrock carb, mallory dist., mallory coil with ballast resistor, mallory electric fuel pump, new style Ford alt. internally regulated, electric fan and more. One question I had was the excitor wire. I need a switched wire for my alt. and was wondering if I could use the excitor wire?? Also I found that I had the 6volt headlight switch. I ordered a GM headlight switch today. My biggest problem is not knowing how to wire the coil and ballast right.
thanks 55fordtruck.

its funny when i started tearing mine out i started marking all the wires then i got behind the dash and had a ball of wires all shades and colors spliced together. when i saw that i just said to myself well gee im sure i can figure out a much better way of doing this fine wire job, then i just cut it all out and said heck with it ill wire it on the fly.
