I purchased an all (mostly) original 1934 Chevrolet that has been stored for 35 years, had motor rebuilt, runs great but have a dead short, In the steel jacket wire protector (of ignition to coil), I see bare wires, how do you take that off the steel jacket?, so I can replace the wire.

Here is an old post on this topic. It is not specific to your vehicle year but I assume should be similar and point you in the area of removing the ignition switch and fishing the switch through the firewall, then replacing the wire.
1946 1/2 Ton Ignition

Good luck, Mike

Note that the method used on 1933 and 1934 coils is somewhat different than 1935 and up. I have been searching for the Info.

Thanks for the info. That sounds exactly like my problem, and that's kind of what I thought, now I can tackle it knowing there is no other way. Huge help

Thank you all again,
Sincerely, Mike
