Another welcome from SoCal. We have a 55 with a 302 and AOD. Have fun!
Thanks! Next project on mine is floorboard sections. I've been reading a ton the last few weeks and hadn't seen this one yet.
That's why all your gauges go to zero in some cars when you're cranking, there's no voltage on that C terminal until you release the key from the...
Just another .02, (and agreeing with Rick55,) - sometimes on the factory ignition switches, when you turn the key all the way over to the start...
Thanks B Monster. When I left the house my parents lived in Albany. Don't miss the bugs.
That's funny.
Alright then. I'll give it a try. What do you recommend for the hose?
Thanks for the reply OLM. That's what I was thinking but thought I would throw it out there and see if any consensus one way or another.
Hey guys (and gals), apologies if this has been covered. I've gone through some of the threads and there's a LOT of back and forth, but I can't...
Welcome from San Diego! If you can't find anyone local to rewire Charlotte then PM me and I would be glad to help.
Welcome home! I retired from the Navy in 2002 so I know what it's like to be counting down the days. If you get in before the 22nd, the Big 3's...
Not sure. I noticed this morning that I had a response to the pic we posted on the main site under intro so I figured I'd try this one again and...
Thanks guys, I guess it helps if I use my fingers too, not just my thumbs.
[IMG][IMG] See if this works yet.
For some reason I can see them but they're not posting. I'm seeing a "This Message is Moderated" above each of my pictures in the thread. I sent a...

Okay, see if these worked, before and after pics.
I've got the stock speedo and other parts for the dash if anyone needs them. Big 3 coming up here in San Diego next weekend, was thinking of...
Sorry the pics are squoze up together, I'll figure out how to separate them and add a bit of caption, first time loading in.
I just finished the re-install of my 55 dash. I took it out and smoothed over where the stock speedo goes and put a set of vintage autometers in...
Thank you Jeff.
Welcome, I wish my other half was as helpful, ha. But she keeps the Christmas decorations out of the garage, so I can't complain.
Hi all. Been lurking for a bit, checking in every once in awhile when things slow down at work, figured it was about time to introduce myself and...
I'm running an 88 5.0 HO, and an AOD with the stock rear in my 55 CustomLine. She cruises at 65, 70, 75 with no problem, it's actually a pretty...
That's funny, I didn't know he had the car on there. I should send him a better picture. Oh well, Rick's a nice guy if you get him in person, and...
The jury is still out. I'm still in the process so to speak. I tracked down Rick Wurth and used one of his kits. He installed it, I drove it home,...
Look for clues, you might have a mix of a couple of people working on it. Pull a tail light bulb. 12V are 1157. 6V are 1154. Look at your...
The 1959 version of Motors Auto Repair Manual lists the 55 V8 as a 6v Positive ground for the generator B5S-10002A with Regulator B5A10505C. I...
Hey there, welcome. You know, I think I saw you drive by me the other day. I'm in San Diego as well, live in La Mesa. I've got a pretty good...
