Sorry guys, I was off work last week and have been rewiring a 67 VW Single Cab while I was off. The power for 8 of those fuses come from the...
This one checked in spec so far, well, what I did was use my resistance box to find out what it wanted for Cold and Hot and just found a sender in...
Hey guys, Jeremy @ Rebel Wire here again. Just wanted to post about another thing I've ran into lately. So again, this is on a customer's 55 Chevy...
Hey guys, I posted this in another thread, but that one is getting kinda long and I thought this would be easier to find. I'll try to add more to...
This was when I was checking out the fuel gauge. Tested the stock fuel sender with my meter and it checks out at 0-30ohm like it should. At first...
Here's some of the horn wiring I was getting into. The owner had a short in the column somewhere that blew the horn continuously. So my way of...
Nice! I’ve wanted to come up with a universal type of insert where people could use an old body of a switch and put new guts in it, but like most...
Been wiring a guys 55 Chevy on the side after work, actually I was supposed to “clean up the wiring” but I ripped about 90% of it out and put it...
If it's a one wire alternator, a lot of them don't have a provision for a charge light at all. The reason you can't use an LED and need an...
Thanks man, I appreciate you guys that answer some of this stuff from your experience. I'll take all the help I can get, haha
Good talking to you earlier. I get behind on the forums sometimes (all times, haha) I'm always building kits and doing tech. Answering questions...
It's a 30/40 amp relay, should be good. 30 amp continuous/40 intermittent
I got him! Frank knows he can call me whenever he needs something
The typical Ford colors around that year are: both yellows need to be hot (power into the switch), the black/green comes out as a keyed hot (acc)...
Looks great! Glad I could help you get it going again! If you need anything just let me know. Thanks, Jeremy
Really nice looking car! Glad I could help out. Thanks again, Jeremy
You're right, that blue dimmer power wire is just meant to run from the headlight switch to the dimmer (dip) switch. For your switch with it built...
Sorry Abe, I haven't been able to check this thread for a while. Got a new computer to transfer my diagrams and pictures to and haven't done much...
They used that light blue flasher wire for a while in the early 60's. I usually bench test them starting with that. Put power to the flasher wire,...
[ATTACH] What about this?
It's looking good man! Here's the link that I found. I'm sure there's a ton of other controllers, I just saw this when I was looking at a...
I just recently saw a rheostat that could dim down LED's, on a Halloween prop site of all places, I was looking at some Wiper motor wiring and a...
You can also tie together the Pilot and Load wires and put them both to the load terminal of a 2 pin flasher. Trouble with that is, since the...
You can still use the 10ga alternator wire for your charge wire from the B post on the regulator if you want to. The white alternator exciter wire...
I don't have as much experience with the 700r4 lockup as I'd like, but how you've got it is how I've seen it done before. 30 would be power into...
It's possible, but I wouldn't really think so. To get no power anywhere on the relay, it would almost have to be disconnected, or a really bad...
There should be power on 30 and 86 (depending on how they wired the relay) I always us 86 as the hot trigger and 85 as the ground trigger, but...
Looks like you guys got it. That's what I usually do, is measure the hole size, then just search for a bulb socket for that hole size. Make sure...
Probably a ground triggered solenoid. They both look pretty much the same. I've got one on my Studebaker, using the floor button to send a ground...
Phil, You'll have to combine some of the wires on the ignition switch. When you turn on the key, you'll need to hot the orange ignition, pink...
