Yes. Linear would mean that between the limits of mechanical movement, which correspond with the resistive values for F and E, that a mechanically evenly divided movement would mean an evenly divided increase of resistance, and if the GAUGE response is also linear, then it would...

I'm afraid Steve is pretty much in trouble. If you go to his actual YouTube channel, he is evidently selling his home, and at least some of his cars. I'm assuming lots of medical bills. There for for the Grace of God go some of the rest of us...

An overly long coil secondary wire can cause stuff like RFI/ EMI / radio interference, but unless the wire is actually defective, that length should fire OK. Check the resistance with your ohmeter Then put your meter on coil+ or if you have a ballast, connect to "key side" of...

LOL that is one good thing about LEDs---with all the smoke you can produce by wrongly connecting electronics, LEDs won't fail, they just won't work. I understand that there are some now that ?? must be a pair of LEDs wired one reversed to the other, so that the lamp will work either way.

The VERY first thing we need is the year make model of whatever you are working on Do you have ANY power? dome lights, headlights? PLEASE do yourself a huge favor and get rid of that "scotchloc" connector. Those are JUNK. I do not understand your question, "red wire to battery?"...

60A is very likely to have more field current draw. In the old days with the earlier grounded field, the "big" regulator was what was used, looked like this Don't know why that photo did not show

It would be better to replace those terminals. Some of the supply sources have changed/ dried up so you will have to search. "Packard 56" and various. Be CAREFUL that the terminal has the tension area wrapped around the sides as exactly in your photo. There are some different ones that...

^^Also in addition to above, it is possible to reassemble the steering coupler 1/2 turn off, making you believe the thing is off center, because the wheel will be upside down.^^

You still haven't explained what is allegedly "wrong". WTF is Steve from Staten Island. And you DID threaten me. THIS is a THREAT "Too many of you guys have been allowed to run all over people on this forum for too long, and you think you have the right to adjust the rules to your own...

How valuable is the car to you? Investigate cutting an "access port" in the floor above the pump and then patching it? Hey, it's been done...............(maybe not in one of those.............

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?
