The Duster is coming back together and we did the "smoke test" on the new wiring last night. No smoke. The only wiring that was not replaced in the car is what is in the steering column and that may be next.
When the key is in the run position, there is an intermittent clicking that is going on. The dash was out of the car and the frame was powder coated. All of the terminals were polished up and I put a little dielectric grease on them. A new instrument cluster voltage regulator was installed. There is about 3 gallons of fuel in the tank, but the fuel gauge still reads zero. I should have tested the "new" looking sending unit, but I forgot.
Since the frame was powder coated, I was planning to run a ground wire from the dash to the lower A pillar but that hasn't been done yet either.
We don't have the fenders on so the lights and turn signals are not hooked up yet.
Here's a video
