    Ignition Switch Ground Melted

    Ya the horn incident was about 4 years ago, have learnt since... This is just this first time I've had to look at the ignition switch since.  So any idea where that ground goes? Otherwise I should be able to run a new wire ground wire to the column from any good ground correct?

    Interesting, so the entire red/green wire is resisted? Or is there a section of resisted wire somewhere?

    Ignition Switch Ground Melted

    I had horn problems with my aftermarket steering wheel. It blew the fuse immediately and when I put another fuse in it just honked constantly, could this be that hot wire on the steering column you're talking about? EDIT: Actually now thinking back to it... I did have a spark fly one time with...

    Ignition Switch Ground Melted

    Hey Guys, Took a look under my dash today to check if I still had a resistor wire at the ignition switch and found the ground burnt. Saw another owner also had a similar problem with the ground melting, any common causes for this? Mine looks like the picture below, but it's burnt after the...

    FMX Converter 10" or 12.75" Core?

    Awesome thanks! Will probably end up getting that one than as stall is a little higher. Seems a lot of the other options are 10" which is unfortunate.

    Had a similar problem with my car except would almost seem stuck between gears... Was a weird sensation turned out to be my kickdown rod.

    FMX Converter 10" or 12.75" Core?

    Hello again, This is kind of a continuation of my last post, but wanted to make it a separate thread so hopefully it is easy and clear for people wondering in the future. Ordering a converter for my stock FMX in my '72 Mustang, wondering if it is a 10" core or a 12.75" core (referring to...

    Upgrade Torque Converter with Gears?

    No overheating problems, car happily sits at 185-195 even on the hottest days so hopefully I'll be good! Gotcha, I understand why there is a difference, just hoping the 2500 isn't too mild on my 351c. I would like the stall speed to be 2500, so maybe I should get one rated at 3000 instead? This...

    Upgrade Torque Converter with Gears?

    Okay awesome to know it's 29, yea hopefully someone knows for sure whether 10 or 12". Would like to do the converter over a weekend, so going to have to order the converter before actually taking my old one out! The Hughes converter says it's 12.75in diameter so I hope mine is too  ::thumb::

    Upgrade Torque Converter with Gears?

    Another couple things I forgot to mention:  Is our built-in trans cooler enough for a 2500 converter? I've read people saying there is a need for an aftermarket trans cooler if upgrading the converter, but am hoping that is only the case for applications that don't have one stock? Hughes says...

    Upgrade Torque Converter with Gears?

    Beautiful. Yea sounds like Hughes has a good reputation, but even more reassuring to hear from someone like you that actually runs one, thanks for the response!

    Upgrade Torque Converter with Gears?

    Thank you for the info! How tall are your rear wheels/tires? I'm looking to stroke in the future as well, but for now going to work with what I got for the quickest daily-able setup I can :)  Overdrive would be great, just gotta save some money then pick between the AODe vs a gear vendors unit...

    Upgrade Torque Converter with Gears?

    Fabrice!! Thanks for watching, hopefully I get more videos out soon especially with the new additions of the coronet and el camino :)  Yea after reading the responses to this post sounds like the 2500 Hughes will be a good option. Too many BMWs and Mercedes running around Vancouver, the ol...
