UPDATE emergency help 1964 commander v8 3 on tree

[Russk]

I took my time repairing it, i even made sure the wires rubbed at the same spot on the inner fender. see pics
I believe some of the best repairs are when you cant tell it was repaired.

My F-I-L said thanks to all that helped.
he was surprised by how quickly you all responded. and now wants to get internet at his house to join the forum
at 72 years young, he hasn't embraced the internet yet, But he stayed on this forum at my house for over three hours reading different posts.
being born in Southbend he has always had a soft spot on Studebaker. he never worked for SB but his father and brother did until closing

I got to my father in-laws car, it wasn't as bad as I had feared.
the wires for the alternator had indeed got caught up in the belt, when they were pulled they shorted out where they ran in front of the radiator
I only had to replace the wires from the L/F corner to the alternator. even though it was a emergency type thing I still did it correctly so no one can tell it ever happened.
I didn't want to be redoing it again down the road later.
I would love to thank every one of you for your help, it allowed me to get him back on the road .
the hotel was very nice they allowed me to get on the internet with there computer and print out the wiring diagrams they were most helpful.
Its all done now and looks like OE still under the hood, so my FIL is happy, my wife is happy,
Thanks again Russk,
can post pics if any body wants

Anybody know if this has been resolved? Hope all is well. Just wondering...

Jessica,

Check with grandpa's hotel. Maybe the person at the front desk can open and print out a file. I did it several times in my days working behind the front desk. It's sure a lot easier to work with than a computer. Butter them up and tell em it's needed for an emergency repair. That will grease the gears of progress at the hotel. They don't call the hotel industry "hospitality" for no reason

That color diagram has made the rounds a few times around here. It's one of the best diagrams there is for tracing where everything goes. Here's the link again.

Maybe a club member in that neck of the woods in Alabama cold be found to offer help if needed. jimmijim, how far away are you from Tuscaloosa tonight?

im Jessica, my dad Russell has told me to get on here and tell every one thanks
he also had me fix the 46 to a 64

John or grandpa to me, has got a hotel room and when dad gets there he wants me to email them to him so I am downloading them all to send to him
he has a laptop with him but no printer I will post more when he calls me back
He said they were almost in Birmingham

Hey Bob...I wasn't directing the comments to you. Just happens by the time I had posted...my comments fell in after your post. You did the right thing. Actually, more help than my comments did. I was just concerned that while he was needing information, folks were concentrating on the mistake in the title. Ironically...the title mistake might have gotten more attention than if he had typed it in correctly. Anyway, I hope everything works out OK.

Actually I started typing before wolfies comment appeared. when I hit the "post" button, both are post's appeared at the same time, otherwise I wouldn't have said anything. I didn't know if he had noticed yet and wanted to tip him off so more people who know would see it and not be confused. I definitely wasn't trying to pick at his thread., I the exact same thing all the time.

P.S Wow Jim willing to derail a thread just to be a prick to me, you impress me sometimes!

Probably excited me more than it should have. In any case, it looks like a couple of sources are available so hopefully he's in good shape.

I'm going to climb back on my soapbox just a little. Bob Johnstone has spent considerable time and effort to assemble a site that contains a plethora, a lot too, of information that is germane to solving a lot of questions asked on this site. I think we should show Bob a bit more thanks by using and referencing his site more often.


No harm, no foul from here, Bob
