Got an update on this and it turns out to have been wishful thinking. It started to wreak havoc with my
fuel gauge which was off by as much as a 1/4 tank. They provided a 10 ohm resistor for bench testing that I thought might make it compatible with the sending unit but checking that with a...
Not sure if I'm jumping but I tried this when upgraded to a 100A alt. since the battery feed side of the bulkhead was starting to burn. Theory was that more amps would charge faster lessening heat issues with a slow charge. The opposite has happened. Takes longer to charge and when I turn the...
Just a tip if your gauges are acting up. I reconnected the temp gauge on a rally dash and it would
intermittently swing all the way up and down. Explains why there was an gauge installed under the dash.
Since I had the radio out to re-wire the alt. past the bulkhead I threw one of the RT...
Turns out is not even fiberglass just styrofoam but the screws hold.
I just don't get the habit of taking it off anymore than necessary....
Any extra material was cut away....
Make sure the vent lever on the front pass side is working.

This guy does some nice work too. He's the only one I've seen who figured out how to
redo the green teflon on the...
The ones in the back do most of the work holding it in place. Mine dash is fiberglass and
the front screws hold the front edge sufficiently tight enough
One problem I've read about and is the case with a New Yorker I have they don't fit tight up against the rim, so you end up unnecessarily pounding on them and even they have some dents. Back
in the day you would use a rubber mallet but wouldn't think of using one today...
My car came with the 3" and have no idea who made them but there brushed and
I only noticed after I had them off a couple times that every time I put them back on
with the palm of my hand I was denting them.... =(
I've been hoping to get the ignition and switch pnl lights to work off the timer relay. I replaced the one
that was missing and have power to the lights but it won't time out unless I unplug the 'left switch'
connector. At the same time that provides the power to energize it whether the door is...
I just dropped the valve body and replaced the shifter seal and adjusted the bands for the first time.
I was apprehensive at first but there's not a lot to it and it gave me a good excuse to buy a inch pound
torque wrench I should have bought a long time ago and the FSM says to use Dexron. If...
I had a Edelbrock 1411 that I hated so much just for spite I wanted to see what a TQ would be like and it's much better. Runs more like a factory carb should rather than an aftermarket, if that makes sense.
I know of one on a '77 New Yorker and it's never been off the car in all these years even...
