Mustang Wiring Harness

Fri Nov 28, 2008 7:16 am

We need to build an engine wiring harness for our P51-H project. The harness is fairly simple but where can I find reference or guidlines for how to tie the bundles of wire, how far apart, what to use to tie with ect?
Advise on how to or where to look appreciated.
Thanks,

Here’s an excerpt on wiring harnesses from NAVAIR 01-60FGB-2.

I've got extras if you need a template. Just give it back when you're done! Jim

Did you know that less than 50 miles away is a grand champion Mustang expert? Call Midwest Aero in Danville for information regarding the Mustang.

Are you talking standard electrical wiring or the ignition wiring for the Spark plugs?
You can get the microfilm for the P-51H from the NASM.
I have all of them and the whole set covers early to the H.
Otherwise the -2 manual should also show circuits and probably references a tech manual for electrical standards.
