Ya that appears to have the same function.

I ran out of time to look yesterday but once I get a new diode installed I’ll chase down spark and fuel.

Great info. I’m thinking that might be what was happening. I talked to an electrical engineer friend of mine last night and he gave me some good stuff to think about

Thanks…any thoughts on what to replace it with? An in line fuse? I can’t seem to find that part anywhere.

this is where the smoke was coming from. It melted the plastic so I’m thinking that it’s not doing what it’s supposed to be doing anymore. I’m wondering if I had a bad ignition relay that kept my starter engaged and left the circuit open overheating that black piece next to my ignition

Yea the white wire goes into a relay but I’m not sure where the relay goes to. It’s bundled in the main loom and disappears but may go to the solenoid. I ran out of time to look any further and the wiring is a mess under there. If I can find out what the black square is that is attached into the...

The wire on the bottom of the picture circled in blue goes to a 5 prong relay that I’m assuming is for the ignition because the top black wire circled in green goes to a “junction” attached to the column behind the dash. The junction also has a group of wires coming out of it that go way up into...

1964 40 w a V-8 swap This is for the folks that are familiar with 350 swaps. Quick background…I bought this 40 from a guy who didn’t know much about it and didn’t have any details to share that might help. To the best I can find, it’s a 1995 or so Chevy TBI 5.7 that has run great for the last...

Where did you put it?

Ya that may be the way to go. I think I’ll end up with el dorado calipers and figure out the rest of the cables somehow

Rear drive shaft. Does it seem like there’s room back there to add the tcase brake? Do I need a longer yoke to install the disc?

I looked at those several months ago. I’ll revisit the website again.

I’ve looked at those as well. I had to have a custom rear DC drive shaft made and seems like there might not be room to put a disc on the tcase but I could be wrong.

I found this on the housing. I’ll see if google turns up anything

I had a line lock in it until it leaked and I lost brakes on a trail. Luckily I’m geared low enough that I was able to pump the brakes to a stop. A bit unnerving to say the least. We’ll be heading to the rubicon this year or next and wanting a “fail safe” option that doesn’t rely on the hydraulics.
