If it were just looking for a bullet-plug that isn't plugged in, that would be easy. I have the bullet plug and a raw wire. I need to know where the plug shown in your photo joins the harness. The wire ending in a raw end is hanging down from the light itself. (I took another look. The big...

What did you use for insulation?

Wow - what a great bunch of answers and possibilities. A few I can answer now: - Yes, I converted to electronic points, the Pertronix 1. - Replaced the coil (not the Flamethrower) at the same time, the yellow top clone. - Both short sections of rubber hose are new, ethanol-resistant hoses. -...

I just took a look to be sure: original metal tube from the pump squirreling it's way up to right before the rubber hose that attaches to the fuel filter; fuel filter attaches to the carb. The metal goes up behind the power steering so it's not easy to trace but I ran my finger along the tube...

And I never had vapor lock in my '71 and yet I put 43,000 miles on that car in one year. I don't think I've ever had it until now, if vapor lock is the problem. Besides "dies like it is out of gas, but let it set two hours and it's like nothing ever happened", how else to I determine what's the...

My underhood light is just a fixture with a wire that goes nowhere. The wire ends about 18" from the fixture as a ragged end and attaches to nothing. Yes, I have a wiring diagram, and I can trace the BK-Y-D wire easily, but underhood, where does it join the wiring? I have searched and...

I'm fairly sure I'm getting vapor lock: just running along normally, sometimes while moving sometimes stopped at a light, it's as if suddenly there is NO gas and the engine dies. One time only while in motion I was able to slip into neutral and restart, but only that once. Turns over real...

Hey Michael: I maybe should have looked closer at your post before responding. The LED lights have been in a lot of discussions and this one doesn’t reflect that I ended up using bulbs from HiPoParts.com. I thought the bulbs from SuperBright were satisfactory until I got to replacing exterior...

In our defense, the car died in the intersection and we were pushing across two lanes of traffic and had to make 3 turns to get into the parking lot. And the lot was pretty much empty at 4 in the afternoon, but, "whatever".

I put LEDs in all the dash lights. For the Brights and Brakes, I used a red bulb and they aren’t at all too bright (I originally got blue for the brights but the color diffuser was red and the combo showed as reddish purple). I went with warm white (has a slightly yellow tint) as the color for...

Could not agree more about that speedo connector! I had the dash pad off so I could go at it from above but still, scarred from the experience. But aren’t the new lights nice? 👍

Me, too (lol)

Progress has been made! If you count getting back to "as good as when you started" progress, that is. Installed the turn-signal canceling contraption in the steering wheel. Two things: 1) make sure you do not overtighten the one-screw-only part that makes contact with the key cylinder. I...

I understand the comments, but from the location of the bracket and the location of the connectors, there’s no way for the turn signal plug to get there (see photos). As long as it isn’t an essential brace for the steering wheel, I’m ignoring it.

It seems to be the retainer in this screenshot from the manual, but I don't understand... what it retains.

Coming off the steering column is this strange metal piece. It does not seem to serve a function as is, so I'm wondering if there is a part missing, or it's oriented incorrectly, or...? Behind it are the two groups of wires coming off the steering wheel that feed into the loom (ignition and...

Ha ha! A few, but not for long at this rate: replaced the turn signal switch in the column and discovered red and green wires coming out of the brake switch that then meet up to a white/white w stripe pair just short of the center console. The profuse amount of black tape alone tells me this...

To all who wrote, thanks... I was hoping the clue "left side lights up when right blinker is on but not vice versa" might inspire y'all to suggest where to start -- location of most likely culprit and maybe it would be the fix and I'd be done and not late to church (ha). I have the manuals...

Thanks for all the leads! But, except for headlights, I'm 100% LEDs. I did swap out the old turn signal flasher for a new electronic version, with a ground wire. You confirmed securing it to the plate holding all the relays and flashers, etc is a valid ground. Also, emergency flasher is...

Thx, Mike - All bulbs are new, and were tested out of the car to make sure they worked and determine polarity (if needed). Cluster printed circuit is also new, and I have no incandescents left anywhere in the dash. Actually, I think the only remaining incandescents on the car are the...
