It’s a Basic Custimizable Chassis Harness P/N #10308 . The directions/instructions are pretty straight-forward. Mine is a 1970 VW Bug 1600 dual port. Like you, I researched all the available wiring diagrams before going with the Painless Kit, and still had to refer to them a little bit on some circuits.
Boy, does that ever look familiar. Fuse blocks and ground blocks look exactly like MY Daytona MiGi’s when I got her. Only my wires were ALL green, and a tangled bird’s nest. I spent days and days, weeks and weeks, trying to trace circuits down. My son ( pretty versed in VW’s ) talked me into scrapping it all and starting over. I purchased a Painless Wiring kit from Summit Racing. With the patient help of my son, 4 days later it was up and running, all circuits working. The kit isn’t VW specific, but ALL the wires come out of a blade type fuse block, and each wire is colored, numbered, and labeled. Made it “somewhat” Painless.
Thanks for the tip, Mike. That’s basically what I ended up doing, after getting the coil out of the way…fuel pump was already off. I will give you a text. My next move is to make some sense of the “bird’s nest” of wiring I was left with. My VW versed son helped me track the ignition wiring down in December, and we got the beast running, although we had to drip fuel down the carb throat. Dennis
By the way, oldnslow, what size tires did you get for Ol Breezy? I found some 165R15’s, and had them mounted, but if I can find a 135R15, I can get a spare under the Hood/Trunk.
Hey, oldnslow, you’re just up the road from me. I’m in Republic, MO. My MiGi is slowly coming to life… rebuilt front torsion bar, master cyl., wheel cyl’s, floor pans, dash panel, various other neglected items. Spent yesterday rebuiding the Solex carb, got frustrated trying to get front carb/manifold bolt to start. Will try again today. New fuel pump in the plans today, also. There’s a benefit car show in Ebinezer in May, which I’m sure they’d be happy to have yours at. Mine will be there, whether it’s running or not.
