Re: IML: 1965 electricals



If the battery was hooked up backwards, everything would not be dead, but several things would go worng, or be damaged. Be sure that the cable from the block is attached to the negative (-) terminal of the battery, and that the one attached to the relay is connected to the positive (+) terminal of the battery. If they are, then they are properly connected even if they are the wrong color.

If you really mean 1955 instead of 1965. the above information is incorrect. 1955 Imperials are POSITIVE GROUND.

I think you're right.  I think the cables are reversed or, in my case, most of the black hoses have turned red.
 
I don't have a voltage meter or test light now.  I need to get one.
 
As far as the electrical EVERYTHING is dead.

I'm surprised the red one ends up under the a/c.  The negative cable
(usually black) is terminated somewhere around the a/c compressor.  It hooks directly to the engine.  Is this cable connected to the negative terminal on
the battery?

Couple o' questions..
Do you have a Voltage meter or test light?
Is everything in the car dead or just the starting circuit?
