    Wiring... any ideas?

    Sadly the van is 40 miles away from me. I head over to it every Saturday to get some stuff done. What sort of photo helps? Fully wired? I'll try and get over there again later - what would you be looking for?

    Wiring... any ideas?

    My 69 Cali Weekender

    So finally got fuses in and most of the wiring dialed up. Started the van on the key and as soon as it's released from position 3, van cut out... So, recheck the wiring, earth's etc etc etc... Got spark, got fuel blah blah. Eventually sipped the ignition and it appears the switch is shot - 48...
