A coupla more, Make a Wire Run List. Like spread sheet, wire one is drivers headlite plus, wire two etc.. You'll soon discover the car won't have...
My trick is to map it all out, connect one end with wires identified with numbers or colors, and make all the loose ends come to a connector, the...
The alternator should not be an electrical load. One wire has some continuity, If it's the big wire going to the battery that's bad, if the little...
You have to divide the voltage in two. For starters use a flashlite battery or two to make the circuit test voltage. You have to put two resistors...
There's no chance he's family to the little slurpee jocky at the gas station?
It's worse than you think, up till 1964 GM used whale oil for gearcase lubricants.
Try your 6v motors on 12v they will probably be ok. If not ie they get hot you'll need to insert a resistor to divide voltage. Now the fun part,...
22 ten thousanths.
Carefull there, one wire is not switched on ignition but 12 vdc felt thru a bulb, when the switch is on current flows into the alternator and...
Maybe the engine is totally dry of oil. Try pulling the dist., and spinning the oil pump with a drill untill the oil pressure lamp goes out for a...
And does the increased voltage switch twards source in a negative direction? On days like this I alligator clip the red wire of my meter to the...
Try going way lighter first. The more pressure the more heat the coolant is allowed to hold all in all.
What he said, you need a lower wattage "can of blinkers" or hide a lamp under the dash unseen to load the one you have, and blink the led.
Thats LeJune, or as we used to say., Lee Eee Jay you n eee. I remember. Gods hands are the safest place for your son, and the help of a few marines.
That stuff always happens to me and then I get to rediscover which way everything turns and why and how simple it was all supposed to be, like...
I'm goin back to "points"
Pick a good spot for a sticky block, but first: Mash a little baking soda into the spot, spit works. Put a little coupla drops of super glue on...
Save your money, oil doesn't do much and what the gauges read don't tell you much except when they read zero. Oil is a fluid, and this fluid...
The coil should have two wires, but could have three. One is switched battery on for ignition, the same terminal could be two wires, one battery...
The meter is a good way to make the problem smaller. From the sounds of it you either lost a fuse/no power or something isn't right or got knocked...
I make money do'ing this stuff, the problem is the crimping tool always necessary for those lab coat hi tech harness'es always seem to run over...
I know this is totally OT but I remember the models as a kid, and recently built these, which I could Not do as a kid. I'm hoping a couple of...
As long as the engine wasn't running while you sandblasted that's not the cause of your troubles. Inconsistant spark? New points cap etc? Maybe...
Your fears are only irrational because I agree. I had an '86 towncar/wagon I disabled the back window closed always.
There's a company called "Carlington" and their switch's are sold thru Grainger and Newark. Forget they're 600 volt insulation class, use amp...
Start with a thermstat, but "blowing bubbles" means either the block is making steam, or process gasses/pressure is leaking into the water...
Save the fireworks for John Curtain day. Take the valve out of the stem. Make sure you're nailing the tire with a big helping of air. Slop some...
I searched around amazon doesn't have one it's probably gone. I was impressed by the story then because the record had been like 146 they broke...
I'm searching my mind, there was one of those "hard bound magazine" type books is the '70's about 2 guys building a car, 4 cyl. destroked, that...
