The ground on the headlight switch is not needed. The only use it would have would be for the dome light.

Chinese senders are crap. I have had multiple bad ones. Check with an ohm meter before you install it and after you install it. Should read about 70-80 ohms cold.

Hope they were still there…..haha

I was actually trying to bust Rusty’s chops, but I’ll settle for multiple victims…..haha

Looks good for a ford heretic…..

This thread has largely been focused on “tactical” things rather than “strategic “ things. If we were to back up a little bit and take a wider look, I would ask what your goals are? Short term income? Long term income? Capital appreciation? Exit strategy? If you are going to get what you...

On the plus side, my rental house doubled in value over the past five years. The ~125K house is now 250k. I had a stable tenant through Covid, so it made me a bucket load of money. The lower end of the housing market has got jerked up hard since there has been a housing shortage. Diversification...

I have had rental houses for close to 40 years. The environment has changed a lot. Everybody has bad credit now. It is a hard business, but you can make a lot of money. As said above, picking renters is the key. Go visit where they live before you rent to them.

You can buy kick panels with speakers, or just the panels and buy your own speakers. I think they work better than dash speakers and are much easier to install. I prefer the 4x6 over the round ones

I have used a couple of the Bluetooth amplifiers in post 15. They work great. Hide it somewhere, hook it up to ignition power and speakers. Turn volume all the way up and control everything from your phone.

i think that is the way of cheap Chinese stereos. Some don’t last long. Just luck if you get a good or bad one. I have had a similar experience with computer monitors. The cheap ones last a year or two. The name brands last forever.

Didn’t mean to be a jerk, just been through this power steering hose thing a number of times.

I think you are over thinking this one. Go to O’Reilly & buy one for a Saginaw pump for your year car or earlier. If it doesn’t fit, return it. Just my opinion….

As I recall, your year with the spool motor mounts has a lot of room. Many different ones should work. Just get one and try it.

Prayers!

Get a phenolic spacer under the carb if you think it might be a heat problem. A thin one will do.

Just drill a hole in the metal plate and use an extension spring from the hardware store. It works great and is on the inside where nobody can see it anyway. Your rod is probably bent because your mechanism is binding up. Solve that problem and then straighten out the rod and you will be fine...

Some folks will use Coke to unstick a froze engine. Only costs $5 bucks for a couple of two liters. …..and think about that next time you drink some…..

I don’t remember the specifics, as it had been awhile. I think I bought bolts and cut them off so they stuck out of the water pump about a 1/4 inch on the back and the fan clutch about 1/8 of an inch past the nut. Locktite them into the water pump with red locktite.

I think the crackedback headlight harness is a great idea, but you may want to find your problem first before changing a bunch of stuff. That usually just makes trouble shooting harder.

If you unplug the dimmer foot switch, doesn’t that disconnect power to both the high and the low beam headlights?

A lot of weird things can happen when you lose a ground. Sounds like the power to your headlights is finding a ground through the high beam indicator light. I would check the grounds on your headlights.

The pulleys are much different between the cast and aluminum water pump too. So is power steering pump. The newer aluminum water pumps (70 up) are also about 3/4 inch longer than the cast pumps. This can cause radiator clearance issues. I swapped from the old water pump to the 70 up pump. Lots...

Shop for the lowest price plus shipping. I have bought from Rock Auto and Stock Interiors. Pretty much everyone sells the same ACC carpet. I like the oem style loop carpet. I think the mass backing option is worth it. Buy a Dynamat clone off Amazon and put it on every surface you can. You...

I have never had a Microsoft or google account. We use office clones on on our windows machines now so we don’t have to create a Microsoft account. It works as good as office and is free.

I am going to go all Apple since already have an iPhone and an iPad. Tired of Microsoft. This way I will only have to sell my soul to one evil empire…..

I put a factory ac in my 69 barracuda and I like it. I use R134 and it will freeze you out. 1. Do you still have factory air that works in 67-69 Barracudas? Mine works good, but I have a new expansion valve, condenser, dryer and fan. 2. Are there replacement parts for under the dash available...

The spring breaks on these with some frequency. You can replace it with an extension spring.

How big is the added fuse for the ignition? Could it be to small? The reason I was asking about the regular car fuses is that the ignition power feeds some of them. The radio and heater fan and turn signals are supplied by fuses, so I would think that those fuses would blow if the short was...

If it is popping fuses routinely, then start unhooking things until the fuse stops blowing. The melted ignition module is a good place to start. I also would try the coil and the voltage regulator. Are any of the fuses in the fuse box blowing? Are there other electrical modifications to the car?
