  1. One more nasty reply, and I'll shut the forum down again!!!
  2. I didn't do it! I swear on a stack of Camaro manuals!!!
  3. Being an electrical engineer, you know exactly how randomly the smoke jeannie can escape the wiring: always at the most imoportune time.
  4. Be sure to put black electrical tape on the back side of the TS switch to cover the rivet heads, as they can short out against the steering column, which is chassis ground.
  5. There's a 15 ohm resistor in that circuit, so running it may cause the voltage to drop enough to not work the relay.
  6. That wire brush is the one that sheds metal slivers like nobody's business. Huh...that explains a lot about RPM!
  7. 904 is RUN-only and available in the engine compartment when you have an ammeter. The alternator indicator lamp version o f 904 is routed differently to the voltage regulator and is not suitable for RUN-only relay capability.
  8. The STATOR terminal on the alternator is what Ford used when it installed an electric choke. The STATOR is RUN-only, and somewhat less than 12 Volts, which allows the choke to stay on a wee bit longer.
  9. Height above the floor for the pedal is controlled by the pedal stop on the clutch/brake pedal assembly. I don't believe it is adjustable.
  10. Have you tried 3M Roloc discs? They cut through rust easily and are useful for grinding down welds as well. https://www.amazon.com/Coceca-Inches-Surface-Conditioning-Sanding/dp/B07T1M9KC1/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=roloc+discs&qid=1624843103&sr=8-2
  11. Those sure look like upper arm mounting holes. Don't cover them up!
  12. Means Yes or he really has to take a leak and can't.
  13. It translates as: Welcome to the forum Chris. My grandmother was born in Paris, and my grandfather was born in Gap.
  14. La partie de couleur bois est en bakélite ou quelque chose comme ça, elle peut être remplie d'époxy, puis peinte pour simuler le bois.
  15. With Google translation: Hello everyone I am looking for information to redo my delux 69 steering wheel. Is all the steering wheel in bakelite, even the wood-colored part? Is there anything to just redo the wood part?
  16. Ooooh Ooooh! Can you post pics of the Jaguar and Caddy? The Jaguar is the sexiest car ever designed and is my favorite.
  17. I will resume working on Mustang wiring June 1 with a new address. Please contact me prior to shipping to ensure you have the proper address, now updated on my webpage. Thank you.
  18. You sure this car didn't come from Switzerland? I've seen cheese with fewer holes...
  19. Hurricane Michael hit in Oct. 2018. Had to move everything out into storage in May, 2019 (that's 1). Moved back in Feb 2020 (that's 2). Filed for divorce in June (that's 3). Moved to Tucson in November, 2020 (that's 4) to a rental property as I couldn't find a house on a 3 day visit. Bought a house with a 3 car garage and moved in May, 2021 (that's 5). This should be my final location, excepting for hospice and disposition of ashes sometime in the future. Now I know what military families must go through...
  20. Yeah, except I'm shut down for the month of May while I move across town to my final location. Should be back operational June 1. See the website for new address.
  21. I don't know how a one wire alternator is used/wired for an indicator lamp. Sorry.
