'32 BB wire routing

[Seabees]

Howdy boys, looking for a wire routing picture of the firewall on a '32 BB. Where does the coil mount, inside under the dash? Trying to figure this out on a rig that was a mess when I got it. Thanks guys!

Assuming yours is a four-cylinder, the coil is attached on the inside of the firewall with its 'snout' facing the right side of the cab. The main wiring harness depends on when your truck was produced. Early and mid-year fours had starter switches mounted on the starter motor. Late fours had starter switches mounted on the steering box at the bottom end of the steering column. Which is yours? Do you have an owners manual with the wiring diagrams? Those were reprinted previously and remain readily available as do originals.


The photos below show the early/mid-year version of the firewall with the routing various wires.

Perfect! Just what I wanted! What is the wire to the left of the column? Amp gauge? Thanks guys! I'll send pix!

If you mean the fairly heavy looking one that is more or less horizontal, that's the vacuum line for the windshield wiper motor.
