Have an XP Falcon wiring loom that needs some modification 

1)  to get rid of a resistance wire so I get a full 12V to the coil

2) to change an Email alternator to a single wire Bosch

3) to change from a Prince of Darkness Starter to a later model

The loom is out of the car and exposed. 

I need recommendations of  a quality Sparkie to do the work. I am NOR but will travel. Who can I trust?

Yes  Alan I am Don's son. I thought your name rang a bell as soon as I saw it. You were an apprentice at Lynford and did a BW35 for me when I wore younger man's clothes  (lived in North Perth if I recall). Dad aways had a bit  of time for you..good kid,  good student and good mechanic. Last time I had any contact was when you were at Borg Warner (Vic Park?) when I was putting a single rail in an XP. Anyway, very little has changed still mucking around with XP's and some other old Fords. (Dad would shake his head if I told him I was putting a Windsor in one). Will follow up your suggestions ...my problem is I know what Dad knew..he didn't know alot about sparkie stuff so I don't either. Seeya Warren.

Hi Warren.

yes, your 100%correct and I clearly remember the Borg Warner single rail 4 speed that I 

delivered to Dons home and the $550 in the washing machine. I thought it was a XL but there you go. Can’t remember the BW35 job but I was in North Perth or Greenwood at that time. I remember Dons blue XK with the XP Futura dash. I had a grey  XL but sold it to a guy at BW when I bought the XY Fairmont (for $1500!). Regret also selling my XP 2 Door Futura in the early 80’s. I have a 66. Mustang Convertible and two Model T’s These days. Still live the XP’s  car of the year in 66

Alan  

Thxs for all the help/suggestions. Got what I wanted done with the sparkie expertise of Kevin from the club. Watching over Kevin's shoulder I now understand how the XP starter, charging and ignition systems did and now work. Thxs again. Hutch
