Ok Guy's.... All try to explain. I'm using the proportioning valve from the Mustang II system...there are two wires comming off of it...not sure how to hook that up yet. As for the red light...I'll run a ground to it.
I'm using the Chevy harness from CR. The pigtails for the Chevette steering column is hooked up. The two fairly large flat plugs that come off the dash harness plug into the fuse box...Ok I got that. I've had the engine turn over...so i know the ignition works. In the manual...on page 3-76 (Assembly of Chassis) number 8) Bottom Branch Bundle #2
# 112 Headlight switch power.
# 141 Light switch position 2.
# 171 Light switch position 1.

I have no idea what to do with these wires...if I'm using the Chevette steering column....everything must be usable threw the steering column...right? Are these wires for people that would rather use dash switches instead of the steering column, if so should I just heat shrink them? For the wiper system...there is a seperate cable for that...so I think this will be farly easy to hook up.

For DV..I have no idea what your talking about here? You've lost me...big time!

If you aren't using the Ford brake bias block, you don't need the red light. (My opinion, eliminate the OEM brake "block" and install one of the aftermarket bias valves, Baer, Wildwood, Tilton, etc., available from Jegs, Summit, etc.

You are so right!!!
I wish they would re-write their manual. Absolutely one of the best in the business, but almost 20 years later it's time for a full update!
It is an excilent manual....with it's share of errors...I had called Andy at CR at the time to open his mind to some of them...hope they fix them in there newer issues...if there is any!

DV ...My body sit's about a half inch off the side rails, where the doors are...is that normal....the back part where the adjusting bolts are for the rear shocks is fine and the body sit's nice,...but having it up this half inch...does affect the line up for the door hinges. Top bolt on the bracket on the cowl bar is off about a quarter inch...and if I in large the hole....I will be off of the bracket...what do I do?

Thanks alot DV and Jim. Your help is VERY WELCOME!!
