I figured it out. (feeling a little stupid) The truck came to me half assembled with a bunch of wires hanging over the rear axle. I used a test...
The 1157 automotive light bulb is commonly used in cars for both low and high beam headlights. It features a BA15D double-contact bayonet base and...
This is also very helpful. Thanks. Your explanation of grounding out through the input wires makes a little sense to me, in that this device is...
That is very helpful! I am not very knowledgeable about electrical but I do have ohm meters and a bunch of various resisters. I will try to...
I am still struggling with this converter. CURT is the manufacturer and they say if more than one doesn't work then it is not their problem and I...
No need to bring in the parking light circuit and I am trying to avoid having to run power to the box, since some are powered and some are not...
Some of these converters are "powered", meaning they probably have relays in them, and some are non-powered. This one only has the three inputs...
Thanks Tim. The flasher on this truck works with just the stop lights and LED front turn signals. They make special flashers for LED lights that...
I have a 52 Chevy truck that has wiring for separate brake and turn signals but only stop lights that do not have dual filament bulbs or sockets....
Thanks for the replies. I have a center engine ski boat and a common problem is rotted stringers. the replacement cost of the stringer job is...
I have a 52 Chevy 5 Window pickup project that came to me partially assembled. I am doing it as time and materials. I have a new bed wood kit and...
I think I am understanding this but have a unique application that complicates it a little. I am converting the ignition on a 1974 Chrysler...
I am not aware of a rubber pad? When I put my 32 together, it just had a welting strap that went along the length of the body. I don't recall...
Agreed. The frame doesn't even touch all long the wheel well either. Not sure what is going on there yet, but I will need to disburse the weight...
Thanks Ray. I have seen demonstrations of metal working with a shrinking hammer and a shot bag and actually won a master metal working set form...
I am in need of repairing the rear lower corners of a 32 Sedan and wondered if anyone had parts or tips on making them? The car for some reason...
I build a motor about every three years, and my 16 year old son is funding this one, so I just need to do everything right the first time. I...
Excellent info. Much appreciated. I have a 5/8" pickup tube to go with the new pump and feel more comfortable using it now.
I agree. The easy answer is to get a stock replacement or better, which would dictate a 3/4" pickup tube. I am hoping someone has some inside...
Okay, I am building a motor for my son's truck and the stock vortec motor had an oil pump with a .75 pickup tube. My machinist just got me a...
I finally got around to putting the rebuild kit in the water pump, and something didn't go right. I took my time and thought I was doing...
Welcome aboard. I hear that the term "Street Rod" is frowned on, but I don't see why. In fact I think that term differentiates a pre 49 modified...
If you are not happy with a DeWalt, you will probably need a Makita. I use Horrible Freight 18V. I have a coupe of them because it is cheaper to...
I was contacted by H2OPUMPMAN1@AOL.COM, and he agreed to sell me a kit. Thanks for possible contacts.
There was a great link on a Corvette board with pictures about doing the rebuild. I was able to use a shop press to easily remove the shaft,...
I am looking for a supplier of a rebuild kit for a water pump. It is a late model LT1 corvette pump in my 32 Ford. Yeah, I know I should have put...
OK, I guess I should have done this the first time, but here are a couple of shots of some custom stuff on my 32 Ford 2-door Sedan. You are...
Okay here is a picture. I have about 650 more, but mostly of details.
No gold chains here. The grease under my finger nails is all the bling I wear aside from my "honey-do" ring.
Central Jersey. More toward the western side. I see a horse farm out my front window. Wish I owned it.
