Re: IML: 1965 electricals

[randalpark@xxxxxxx]

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?
