They come directly out of the fuse block. The one wire has a "jumper" and all three have the spade connectors.

Is the automobile an automatic in floor? If so, are the shift letters lighted, and do the backup lights work? Just a thought from looking at the wires...

 

[f16fxr4real]

Not a floor shift

The shift letters are lit. The backup lights work correctly. I have a 64 that I just did a V8 and 700R4 swap in. I ordered a new harness for the SS with full gauges and the only thing I can think of is it looks as though the wires would go to the horn relay because of the jumper wire.

If the wires are one brown and the other brown with white stripe and you have an SS harness, they probably are the shunt resistor wires for the battery gauge on a SS dash panel.

Are they for the heater on the whirlpool?

 

[Wogs64SS]

They are for the shunt resistor! They go through the firewall and connect to the resistor up by the horn contact and voltage regulator. You have an SS car?

 

[bigreds1963ss]

do you have to have those wires hooked up, i cut mine since im not using my ss gauges

 

[Wogs64SS]

No you do not have to have those hooked up

 

[bigreds1963ss]

i was told by a member here they were for something called an ahmmeter only for the ss models in the gauge cluster, i cut mine off cause im not using the stock gauges

 

[f16fxr4real]

Not an SS car

However I have the SS gauge cluster. Anyone have a pic of where they would hook up at the shunt resistor?

 

[bigreds1963ss]

well if it helps any mine were really long, like they mounted somwhere up on the core support near the horn relay or the regulator

 

[f16fxr4real]

Big reds thats what I am assuming also

I guess I'll just tie them up and wait and see if they belong somewhere down the road.

Here's some info: http://www.bracketracer.com/nova/shunt/shunt.htm

As noted, the shunt is now being reproduced. Prior to this, I was searching for one so that I could use an SS panel in my wagon.

LOL that was good..
