So Pulled this out of the car to add some wires, fix some bare spots. Stripped the hard old tape off and not thinking carefully coiled it and put in it in a box. Get home and like an hour of untangling. Wish I put some zip ties on the different legs or something....

I KNOW what you mean friend. :hick: Done it a few times myself........like when I built my first 429 powered Pinto wagon. :burnout:
This is why I leave the wires alone :).
I would have but was lots of bare spots, this car sat in a barn for couple years before I got it. I'm the third owner its had which is pretty cool. But between first and third, the second had it completely apart in boxes in his barn. I find all kinds of nasty surprises whenever I open anything.
I have gone through that in a horrible way. I just cry. Makes me feel better.
I'm always glad when I see posts like this one that my T-bird has always been maintained. I don't have to do crazy projects like this because of it ;).
It was a good deal, new motor, fresh interior, and parts car for 800. But wasn't all in one package lol. Guy was doing it as a father son project and his son wasn't into cars.
Wiring and electrical stuff are on the shortlist of car related items I'm afraid to tackle on my own. Automatic transmissions scare me too, lol.
AOD and above scare me, open pan and take off valve body. F*^&(^ 30 check balls just fell out.
^lol so true!
I thought there were only 8 check balls, 1 orange, 7 black... if installing a B&M shift kit, #7 is not used.
