Rewiring 1755 gas

I am going to do a thorough rewiring. I might think about upgrading the Holly distributor at the same time.

I have 1855 fenders with dual headlights and lights on the grill. I'd like to add flashers and turn signals on the roll bar at the same time. Probably also wire in my external add-on radio. Might add a connector for wagons or other auxiliary lights. Also, might add a cigar lighter type of aux power outlet.

I don't care if it is original, I want it functional.

Any suggestions, especially on the turn signal and aux lights arrangements?

Any other suggestions on wiring or lights, or anything else to do since I'll have the tin off, the gas tank off and so forth?

Anything I should be sure to check out while I have it stripped down?

Next,>Link build new battery cables at least 1/0 gauge. Use solder terminals. Use shrinkable tubing over all connectors. Run all your new wires through nylon cable conduit.

The cigar lighter is a great idea. Makes for a handy place for a work light.

Run all your "add-ons" through a circuit breaker. This is especially important for the lights in case you snag a wire. Be sure to use relays for the lights and lighter. You can get power for them right off the starter solenoid. I "hid" the relays under the dash. This way the lights are as bright at idle as they are at high speed.

I did all this a few years ago on my 1650 and everyone remarks how "professional" it looks. All I did was take my time. The wiring diagram in the manual was very helpful.

No parts beyond tune-up parts are available for the Holley. You AGCO dealer can sell you a $300 Mallory replacement. Or you can hunt for a Delco replacement; again the manual lists the Delco part number(s).
