  This site has color coded wiring diagrams that might help: http://www.vanpeltsales.com/FH_web/FH_images/FH_electrical-pics/Flathead_Electrical_wiring1938.jpg

  Thanks for the reply Charlie. I was referring to the outside cloth loom that covers the wires inside of it. I have copies of the wiring diagrams from the Green parts book, service bulletins and other ford publications. I am going to install one and see if I can figure it out.

thanks again,
Bob

  The colors that you gave were used on many years.

The dash harness on my 40 mercury has a black covering with red dashes and the other 3 harnesses have just black covering.

  THANKS, jUST PUT ONE ON THAT I HAD AND IT DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE THE CORRECT ONE. THE HEADLITE WIRES AREN'T LONG ENOUGH TO REACH PASSENGER SIDE. JUST BOUGHT A CORRECT ONE? ON EBAY. RIGHT PART NUMBER FOR A 38 BUT WE WILL SEE. THANKS AGAIN FOR RESPONSE

  Hey Bob - any reason you are typing in ALL CAPS? Noticed it here and on another post of yours - much easier for my eyes anyway to read if in lower case with CAPS used for emphasis only. Fwiw -

  Hi Len47, I've not been using these computers all that much, but as I understand it from the young folk, he is yelling for us who are hard of hearing. . . . smile. 42oink.
