Question
Is there a place on line that I can get detail for detail on how to install original 6 volt wiring in a 1939 chevy 2 door sedan? The wiring is all original and need to replace it but I am not the best electrician unless I see it in detail.

Answer
Have you purchased a wiring kit or are you going to make your own from scratch? If you are a novice electrician then I would recommend dealing with one of the makers of wiring kits. The kit comes with directions and each wire is labeled. I just finished a wiring job on a 41 Ford and it was a snap as long as you follow the directions.
