I admit I have always wanted a 64 Comet and so I have a builder. I have the Merc FSM but it does not show the fuse box that my car has. MY Fuse box is also empty/ I also know 64 had some mid season changes. But... The box takes 3 fuses, for the usual circuits if figure, and I have also some...
Its my 64 Comet the wires for tail ltes has plug indeals, which are of no use. I wantto simple run new wries to the sockets I replaced. Each side of housing has 2 sockets with the 1157 bulbs with two filaments. My question is should I cut the wire and run in and out from the socket wire and...
Yes I have taken them out a few times or so, BUT I can mash in the release button and the stem will not come out! I will rotate but not pulll on out. The tiny wire winding in its reastate were coming out, but I doubt that has anything to do with it.
Any ideas, it has to come out!
On this car, the PO just installed a new sender for a oil pressure gauge, so I added under dash electrical gauge. I used the run side of ballast for electrical source, and I have also adding a tach. Where should I splice into for current for the tach? If I use that same ballast source...

I know... I got it from Summit and it was cheap enough. It only works when I wiggle it at the fitting where it goes into the block, ( 225 slant). It has the correct brass fitting.

I guess where the wire goes...
