Yes, I remember when you helped me solve my distributor issue a few years back. I hope all is well. -

Be careful with opinions... I had a visit to my doctor and he said I needed drastic surgery. I doubted it, so I told him I wanted a second opinion. He said, "OK, your're ugly too" That is an old but faithful Rodney line. -

Bummer about this. It has probably happened to a lot of us. I know it happened to me, but the value was under $50. I would definitely raise it to SAAC forum and vintage mustangs forums. I am not sure if it will help, but maybe point out to Fast Fords that you will be taking all actions possible. You might also mention you have contacted your friend in Toronto who is an attorney. You know the guy, I have used him to.

Or you could just buy a complete harness, just like you want, from Midlife. It has real wires and not the flexible circuit card. http://midlifeharness.com/products.html

I wonder if it is quiet because every question that could ever be asked has already happened? All you need to do is a simple search. I cannot get that Gougle thing to work, though. I think it is just me, maybe my browzer?

I looked at these sites, and I am guessing they are using your old car photos as clickbait. They do not really have 99% of the cars on the site, but it creates interest. You might give them a call and inquire about it. i will bet they tell you " that one is sold, but we have this other one..."

I wonder if in a year+ of sitting, some spider or bug got into it? You might take it apart and see if it spins freely? A single drop of oil in the right place could fix it. But that means taking it all apart.

The tach cars had a underhood and underdash wire harness unique for the use of the tach. If the connector to the alternator has 4 pins to connect it to the underhood harness, the odds are it is a harness made for a car with a tach. It it has 3 connectors, then it is definiately not a tach harness. For the underdash harness, there are clues that can be made if you have access to the connector that connects to the back side of the instrument panel. They colors of the wires and where they connect are different between a tach and non tach car. Someone else might be able to tell you what the part number is on them. I do not know. Maybe look at CJ pony parts for the part number and see what it cross references to?

WTB 1969 Bucket Seats, 351W Parts, and Tilt Column
danno replied to indianfiremach's topic in Parts for Sale / Wanted
If you are still looking, I might have all the parts of a 69 tilt and tilt away steering column. -
You gave me the rare opportunity to answer a question first. Now time for my siesta.
-
I am not sure which one pin 4 is, but the ground needs to be 2 black wires going to the same pin on the connector. Do you have a car with a factory tach or not? What year is the car? There should not be any wire from the seat belt warning light or parking brake light in a 69 with a standard dash.
-
The other end either goes to the light in the door, or the 14 pin connector for the instrument panel. There is one pin on the instrument panel connector with 2 black wires, and one of the black wires is probably this one. To check it, open the door so the door light is on. Then unscrew the connection and remove the wire from making contact. If the door light goes out, that is it. If it does not, it goes to the instrument panel connector.
-
I can't imagine answering a question like this before midlife. Maybe he is on a siesta? Anyway, the connector 2 pins is power. The Yellow with black is the +12 volts accessory power feed from the fusebox. The blue with red wire is the illumination light bulb. On the connector with 3 pins, the center pin (violet) is the common one for left and right speakers. The orange with violet is one speaker, and the white with violet is the other speaker. I am not sure which is left and which is right. You are correct, there is not a speaker in the dash with door speakers.

I have run in to an issue with my 70 Mustang Factory tach
danno replied to Rich Ackermann's topic in 1969-70 Technical Forum
Bending the steel rod that connects the fuel float to the potentiometer part is the simplest way to adjust the fuel reading, but draining the fuel to get at the rod is a very difficult process. I have done it on my factory fuel sender. If you adjust your CVR so the gas guage reads correct, then your temperature gauge will be wrong. I am not aware of any method to make adjustments to the needle or gauge that is in the instrument panel. If you took it apart, you might be able to bend the needle, but that is a very delicate process.
