Originally that is the transfer case vacuum actuator for the front wheel drive (FD), and the light is the indicator that the front drive is engaged. Not sure though what that replacement knob is for unless it’s some makeshift thingy that still operates the vacuum system. The long pull lever...
I don’t think ‘64 came stock with a reverse light, so you’d have to wire in something aftermarket. Still have the 3-on the tree? You’ll have to wire in a switch to that, or go with a dash switch. But if your dash is pretty much untouched, it’s against the law to drill any holes in it, we’ll...
Congrats on the “old” cruiser. The only thing better than a ‘64 is a ‘65 and a ‘63, cuz that’s what I got 😝.
Rear tailights, turn signal lights and brake lights are one unit on your rig. So check the connections and grounds like you said. Also, there should be a floor dimmer switch between...
I got the 2-1/16” tach to fit in an existing PO hole in the dash. I don’t think it came with the bracket like the Autometer one you posted. I have an Autometer mounted on my column in my SBC’d ‘65 40.
Rough running, stalling but eventually wouldn’t start (cranked, no fire). It had maybe 2 ohms resistance on primary (bounced around) and was completely open (no resistance) on secondary.
This is the tach I have, I too didn’t need anything above 4k 😂. Funny, I paid $125 for it brand new from...
My Speedhut tach needed replacement (it was still under warranty), but I honestly can’t say if it caused the death of the coil or the other way around, or the events were completely unrelated. I replaced the coil first (city racer coil), and rig ran fine. Then I replaced the tach with another...
I bet if one of those pieces fell in the hand of a machinist we’d have a repro option fairly readily. Of course as long as John @pardion has his stashes we are good to go 😉.
Push on the “E” pins simultaneously and pull out shift lever “B” (but watch out for flying pins because of spring “F”). Once that’s out you can pull out shaft “G” (and keep track of spring “I”). You’ll have to find a used shaft “G.”
