Well, I spent a whole $20 on the Pinto. First purchase for it.
Some of you may think I am nuts.
I bought a fuse box for it from a 1989 Toyota truck. Pictures below.
I really prefer this type of fuse, and I need to move the fuse box anyway, the stock location is just too hard for me to get to easily.
I am not sure yet about location. Thinking under the dash maybe, but have it on a plate that is hinged and comes down for easy access. I need to look around and see what will work the best for me.
Wiring is easy to me and I enjoy doing it, so I am going to mainly concentrate on doing that stuff for now. Along with the bumper moves. All I might need to buy for the electrical is maybe some solder, if I can't find mine. And possibly a little wire, depending on how good or bad the harnesses are on the Pinto.
Tonight I need to see if I can find the wiring diagram online for an 89 Toyota truck.
No, I don't know the model. That would be too easy.
And I will likely end up cutting off all of the harness attached to the new box except for about 12 inches, depending on where I am going to mount it. But I will check first just in case any of the connectors on it will work on the Pinto. But I am not expecting any of them to.
So tomorrow I look for a new fuse box location, pull the harness off, and clean off my modeling table in the house so I have a place to work on it. I do not enjoy trying to solder wires while under the dash.
Thanks,
Russ
