Thank you for your recommendations. I sent an e-mail to Potomac Packard yesterday requesting a quote. I also sent a message to Harnesses Unlimited with the questions you recommended I ask. I will try RI Wiring next. I'll keep you posted.

But he still cannot find the problem. I have checked the coil and it appears to be fine. I tried my spare...

I have a 1937 115c that has developed an electrical problem and it will no longer start. When I purchased the car I changed the battery cables to 0 ga, replaced the plugs, had the starter rebuilt, replaced the points, condenser, spark plug wires. I drove it 4-5 times in a 1 month period. One day I f...

I have a 1937 115c and it has a rigged wiring system. I want to replace with a correct wiring harness. Looking for advice on best vendors to purchase a wiring harness. I have looked at several. Prices range from $600 to $950. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
