IGNITION WIRE

On a percentage of truck production, a small leather boot is placed over the ignition wire terminal on the back of the instrument panel as shown in Fig. 921.

The boot was placed at that point simply to prevent any possibility of the ignition wire grounding against the gas gauge flange as the clearance was a trifle close. With the leather boot installed, there is no possibility of the wire grounding.

A change is being made which will provide additional clearance at that point and when this is in production the use of a boot will be discontinued.

In the meantime if you should have any occasion to disconnect the ignition wire on the back of the instrument panel, be sure to replace the boot.
