So thinking that I could take this switch apart and see if anything was wrong with it. 2 tiny little cylinders fell out of it. I can't find...
LOL - Yes, fenders are going on. Just waiting until I get the transmission business figured out. Much easier to work on this way than leaning over...
I'm so glad that this site exists. Everybody's input is really valuable and makes tackling a project like this a lot easier when us newbies can...
Ha, ha. Not an April fools and not BS. I didn't grow up a motor head and am new to all this so bear with my ignorance. I've never owned a hot rod...
Well, that does make me feel a bit better. If it's reading at double of what it actually is, then I'm running about 2000 rpms at 65. I'll have to...
Yeah, that's how I tried setting mine too. I thought that should do the trick like all the videos show, but it still didn't feel like it was...
I had the trans rebuilt and have less than 10 miles on it. Have just taken it down the road a few times to get the TV cable set correctly. It's...
I thought about maybe the tach being off. It idles at about 1,200 which seems normal and maybe if it is off, it's accentuated at higher speed, but...
I did drop the pan and it was completely clean, which is good.
It doesn't feel like it's slipping. The engine is would pretty high so... I'm bringing it into a transmission shop next week. I've reached my...
Maybe what I should do is take a video of what it's doing and post that so you can see.
Yes, it shifts into 2nd at about 17 mph, 3rd at around 30 and then OD in the high 40's. Seems like I have to back off the pedal a bit to get it to...
So I'm running a 700R4 behind a SBC400. The rear end is an 8.8" geared at 3.27. I'm trying to get the TV cable set correctly, which I think it's...
Thanks for the response, Boneyard. I've got another buss bar coming and one I get it, I plan on having someone who's a lot more adept at wiring...
It fried when I turned it to "on".
Mine is a tilt steering wheel.
Oops. Forgot to attach picture.
These are the remote terminals. As you can see they're on the firewall. Where am I going with that starter wire into the fuse panel?
Ok, you'll have to simplify what you mean, Steve. What do you mean by "check if it reads to ground"? Are you saying to simply put an ohm meter on...
While I'd love to blame this on cheap imported parts, I'm guessing that my wiring is at fault here. Can anyone find any fault in how I wired...
That is helpful. Thanks.
I'm guessing this could be part of my issue as well. Instructions aren't great and interweb didn't help much either. Anyone got any experience...
Ok, this is what I've got going on. As you've probably guessed, electrical is not my strong suit. I'd like to keep the remote terminals so I can...
Jalopy Joker - I'm going to draw it out when I get home tonight and post later on. I can't remember what I've got running where so I want to get...
D'oh. I see now that you mentioned 60-80 amp. Thanks.
Unfortunately, I did not have a fuseable link installed. Will be doing that next. Wiring is definitely not my strong suit. What size fuse would...
It fried when I turned on the key.
I installed one of the Speedway 22 circuit wiring harnesses and upon turning on the key for the first time, I fried the bus bar on the back of my...
What is HF polisher? That sounds like the way to go. Like you, throwing them in a sock or at least giving them a good rub down after each use...
Hello All. I'm a newbie member but frequent visitor and have learned a lot here. I have a question that I can't find an answer to anywhere. I've...
