Don't you threaten me. Redfish is probably THE expert on clusters and dashes. JUST EXACTLY what did he say that was "wrong?" INSTEAD OF EXPLAINING YOURSELF you just turned into a >>>> If you are going to go around here announcing "wrong" you'd BETTER be able to factually prove...

You still have my phone no?

These guys are likely on the right track with polarity but you cannot just "turn it around" This is an 1891, single contact, bayonet base. So, I do not know how the socket is wired. It is above ground, as the switch grounds the circuit, but it may be factory wired with power to...

Is it possible he has mixed and matched hydraulic vs solid lifters and push rods? I forget, anymore, which ones are longer.

WHAT IS the year/ make model of the vehicle you are working on? Is it American? Does it have stock or nearly stock wiring? What is the alternator you are using?

I don't have any idea of the specs on that regulator, a few comments 12 something is not proper charging voltage. Depending termperature, voltage varies, but on a warm day, normal engine temps, charging/ running voltage after the battery has recovered from starting. should be...

The "Oh SH*T moment.......................

THIS IS NOT a "for sale" thread, it will only cost you postage and I don't make a penny on this. I have done this previously. I was given a 1974 service manual, both volumes in digital form. But it is BIG. If any of you can either point me to an easy to access host site (and I...

THIS they are free and you don't have to jump through hoops. Not only that but that manual, and a few others, GOT over there because a few of the guys right here. I don't remember for certain, but there might be also some info about the heater AC wiring in the body manual Certainly...

I was under the impression that the headlight/ parking light harness was pretty much one piece, plugged into the bulkhead, ran up front and across the rad support, with branches for headlights and parking. What are the colors (or better a photo) of the mystery connector? Is this a...

Redfish generally knows WTF he is talking about. He at one time made a business of restoring these gauge components. The Big Red Print does not impress me, nor does your response.

I agree. It does not sound like you have excessive current through there, so this points more to "the usual" bad terminals/ connections or in the switch itself

Yes find out if you have a full current ammeter or the later "external shunt" type. So far as I know the easy way to find out is to examine the ammeter, stick your head up in there. The full current ammeter will have stud/ nut connections and large gauge (no10) red and black...

I would replace the outlet from what you describe and it might not be a bad idea to replace the plug on the appliance. The only kinds of plugs (cord caps) I use anymore are the big plastic 2 piece kind that tighten the wire like set screws (not wrap around the screw) They cost...

Is this eth/ meth infected gas or the "real thing?" The more alky, the worse the mileage

THAT'S RETARDED!!! LOLOLOL MFAO!!!!

Two caveats. If a bolt is leaking from the threads into the block, it may be possible that it is leaking into the oil pan. Keep a watch on oil for water/ coolant Also there is one bolt (forget which one) that if you accidently get one in there that is too long, you can break through the...

THIS actually makes sense

A true and enraging story about "back stab" outlets When I was doing the 911 telco/ radio work for the Motorola outfit in the '90s we had to add some stuff to a place called "Deer Lake Mountain" up by Deer Park, N of Spokane. We had bought what were SUPPOSED to be good quality, all...

^^^I was just going to mention this. I have NO understanding as to why these damn things are SOLD If it is only the plug/ outlet area getting hot it could be as simple as a worn / corroded/ or poor QUALITY outlet or plug What is your "feel" for how tight the plug fits the outlet?

Are you ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN you did not screw up on the plug wiring, or timing light cylinder selection? Do you have a light that is NOT "dial up?"

Will not install. The reluctor does not flip, you use a different hole/ slot. The reluctor always goes "right side up" and is offset different, top to bottom

It will not run at all

So this leads to "let's go astray............." What Fords had those similar independent throttles/ throttle bodies? I had no idea any 'Murican stuff used them

Looks to me like it's time to pull the dist and inspect the drive gear. If that is OK time to evaluate the cam timing Any idea of the miles on the engine or work that has been done?

LOL you are doin a LOT better than some of the rest of us

THIS is why we cannot have nice things..............

Bad. Hope he has good insurance

Have you DONE anything to it immediately previous? EG the dist looks might clean is it new? Did you change the timing? If you have not moved the timing I would attempt to check it. Sometimes you can pull the coil wire and leave it "lying" near the top tower so it has to jump...

I would do further digging. You are doing what, finishing up a new harness? Are you aware of the ammeter wires? Big black and big red under the dash, they go to the ammeter and the black is NOT ground, it continues to the alternator. If you do not have an ammeter they must be bolted...
