Chillin' Louie: To Coldly Blow (Part IX: Firing it up, buttoning it up)

Chillin' Louie (Part VIII: Wiring)
With all the major components installed and the hoses made, the next task was wiring the system up. This will be a short one (that's not an electrical joke :^), as in a car like this, the wiring is trivial. Wiring diagram Someone (Conserv, probably) had posted a copy of the Clardy wiring diagram. It is below. More general, and probably more useful, is the diagram I have in my a/c book: Generic wiring diagram from Just Needs a Re
Chillin' Louie (Part VII: Hose Fabrication)
The tool you need Way back in the introduction, I told the story of Ed Ellis ("Ellis The Rim Man" to you Bostonians) making the hoses for my E9 3.0CSi 22 years ago by the curb on Comm Ave. I watched as he crimped on one end, cut the hose longer than it needed to be, put it through whatever holes in the body it needed to pass through, threaded the other fitting onto whatever component it needed to attach to, test-fit the hose into the fitting, trimmed it to length, "clocked" the fitti

My wiring nightmare... where do I go with it?
Back story: 1971 2002 6 fuse This car is new to me, and came with a few issues that need sorting. I've been going through some mechanical and fit & finish issues, but the part that is more of a mess than i anticipated is the wiring, which isn't my strong suit.

Front Subframe Restoration
I took my rusty front subframe over to my brother's house and he welded in the IE subframe reinforcement plate. The front subframe received the same powder coat treatment as the rear, RAL 7043. I had both of them done at Anocote Powder Coating in Mira Mesa. They also did the ST Sway bars and knocked the surface rust off of my rotors and drums for about $300 all in. Assembly was pretty straight forward, new rubber stock bushings, new heavy duty IE control arms, new OEM Idler Arm bushings, DIY
