Did some appreciable searching here about gas gauge gremlins, not coming across my hassle, so posting for some tips in case anyone has encountered what I’m having. Trying to condense here: My gauge has operated intermittingly and seems to be accurate – when working. It seemed that it would work...

Anyone ever have an interior courtesy light go out and upon replacing the bulb it doesn’t work and trying another bulb in case that new one might be bad and still doesn’t work? Ok, no kiddin. Bad socket or wiring connections to it right? It is one of those teeny bulbs inset into a molded...

Thought I'd ask for suggestions or what some might have done tapping their innovative talents to build enclosures and mount speakers in their rides. I have a '63 Fury vert and got a couple of smaller speakers (around 2"x3") for adding some sound. I dropped the speakers that were once in the...

There's a lot of info about bulkheads on our forum I sifted through finding helpful. Thought I'd create a new ask about this as it seems if I could replace the block this might be best as I have a new engine harness in (two years ago). Did try to clean up the female connectors but they're...

Trying to help a buddy find a wiper motor for his '65 Camino. Surprised to find a Chivvy part hard to find. Part of hassle is it's a 2 speed. Have checked several sources, Summit, Classic, Orig Parts, eBay, and none have this friggin motor. Thought I'd toss this out in case anyone knows of a...

I bought a new timing light some recommended; the Innova 5568. Nice and works well; but was surprised that the instructions were for ****. Being old school my old light did one thing check initial timing. With the added features there was more to learn and some sifting on the web helped; but...

I think I might have Christine's cousin with my '63 Fury as I have a couple posts out on weird BS problems! After months of no hassles with my blinkers, developed one when driving...the blinkers are lethargic, super slow, that is until I stop or when it's parked...they work fine! I have LED...

Has anybody used wire glue? This is supposed to be a heatless alternative to soldering. I've done some sifting on wire glue and for the most part, the reviews are positive. The gas and temp gauges are out and finally discovered a broken wire trace on the circuit board. It's the sort a...

This could be one of those occasions where more than one thing decides to go to crap at the same time. Having my dash bezel redone twice, I encountered problems with my gas and temp gauges not working. Figuring a ground I rechecked this and had gauges working for a few minutes. I'm thinking...

I have a friend now retired living in a warmer climate that ran into a hassle after getting a new battery installed. It activated the security system causing the car to not start then after the installer unplugged a 'module' car runs; but will stop inadvertently and will start again until it...

I'm looking to wire in a bank of four indicator lights below my dash for 1 & 2) Left & right turn signals 3) brake lights and 4) headlights. My question for electrical in the know folks is better or best ways to wire these in. What is recommended for location of splice in/connection points and...

I obtained a console (not for this car Ford my guess '80's vintage) I'm working to install in my '63 Plymouth, about 20 things to do to make this work; but giving it a go. The console has four indicator lights originally for low washer fluid, fuel, door ajar, & head lights. I want to convert to...

I installed a Hermosa retro radio last year working fine. Interesting to note for this discussion, two power sources were required one constant hot and 2nd ignition or key activated. As part of my resto decided to install a power antenna. As assume is usual you have three wires for the power...

I'm hunting down some electrical oddities while looking to install a new radio requiring two hot connections; 1 constant and 2 other is when ignition key is on. The common advice is to check all grounding connections or even add some. As I understand less than 1.0 ohms or 0.5 volts indicates a...
