Thanks John, doing that today!!! Boaf

Hello all, Update: The Oil Pressure and the Fuel Gauge started working again. It's like magic! :bounce: The Temp gauge is still not working, but investigating. Thanks and will keep you posted. Boaf

Going to pull the ignition key and see if there is something going on back there with regard to the Blue Red wire. It just seem so strange that it said "I'm done". Truck still runs and the alt gauge is working. Aghhh, always something. Boaf

Nope, the back of mine is with the Barrel connector. It was "frankensiened" from the PO.

Thanks StediCruiser, Yes I have a multimeter. Just need to track the Red-blue for continuity and where it falls apart. @Coolerman , any thoughts on where to start? I'll pull the wiring diagrams from the Haynes book. I'll do some research, but what is the fuseible link by the battery? It...

Update: Took a test light to the 12V Ignition port (Blue \ Red wire) and have no juice. Is there some sort of in-line fuse? The wiring on this truck is a Frankenstein (pronounced Frankunsteen) from the PO, I just never updated it. I will ask the dumb electrical question: If I take power from...

Thanks JZVii, CruiserKev, Cleaned the Black and white ground pin and connection. will check the power to #3 today. My LC is 1972 (Mnf 10/71) Will add it to my signature if it is not already there. Will keep you posted. Boaf

Fellow LCers, Been a while since I posted, things have been going well and enjoying the top down Florida weather. Came home from soccer the other nigh and next morning, no Fuel, Water or Oil Pressure gauges. Not sure what happened. Symptoms: I have Blinkers, radio, lights. It seems to be...

Someone said use the BFH method and did not do that. The wood block just saved my hand from the Rotor shaft imprint (like the Raiders of the Lost Arc Medallion imprint.:rofl:

Here is a picture of my dizzy. you do need to squeeze that gap closed with some leverage. First pinch with pliers before putting the ring on the Dizzy. Then install as you normally do. Remove the cap and rotor (if not already done) and place a small Block of wood on top for leverage (get a...

No not seated. The washer on the lock nut is under the ring. take out the washer, cut a piece off so it seats fully. if not, it will eventually leak and the shaft will wear early/ Just from experience. Bob

Thanks gents. New my valve cover was not perfectly striaight, it never leaked because, of course there was no oil! Now it leaks but straightened it out and we are solid. Normally most people would be angry with an oil leak. But this was like a ray of sunshine on a piss poor day :). Boaf

Brian, Steamer, Head gasket on, Head on, oil flowing. Thanks gents for all the support. What a fun adventure! Boaf

Thanks brother. ARGHHHHHH feel like a dick head.

I see 4 holes until the oil pass hole. Then I see the bolt hole and a hole next to it in the gasket. Does the "correct gasket need to be an elongated hole? So sounds like I bought an f instead of a 2F head gasket. That would totally SUCK. fricken rookie mistake. All the holes matched up...
