Tail Pipe Position

Happens even with tube doors. 1976 Chevy 350 conversion BTW

Just to side....

If I fully open my Bestop Tiger Soft Top, a vacuum seems to be created that brings the exhaust into the cabin. My tail pipe is located immediately behind driver's side rear wheel. Interestingly, when I leave the rear flap open I can see it getting sucked into the cabin. Opening windows, side...

No personal knowledge here, but when I was looking at this topic I was somewhat afraid of trying one of my typical MacGyver solutions. Add properly spec'd hand winch or electric winch and you should be good to go. Hoist-A-Top Crank Land Cruiser

Here is what the wiring coming off the sender looks like. The PO apparently used every color in the rainbow, so my search has not been very enlightening . Note the yellow/black wire dead ends to nowhere. Is this the issue?

I suppose it could be the gauge or connections, but it was my understanding that statistically it is more likely to be the sender when the gauge is stuck on empty and the needle never moves. Prior to totally failing the needle would take 5 minutes to rise on fill ups.

PO replaced tub with an aluminum tub so tank is unfortunately not there.

Sorry. '76 Chevota. I believe the gas tank is the original, but not 100% sure.

Short of dropping the tank and replacing, is there anyway to resuscitate it? I tried a Techron bath hoping it was just build up on wires, but so far no luck. Interestingly the gauge was working until my brother used my rig and put in several tanks of low octane gas. Thanks in advance.

My 76 '40 has an awful misfire that can best be described as the sound you hear when you put a baseball card in bike spokes. Frequency increases with speed. In inspecting the engine one spark plug has a very visible repeating electric arc coming off of it. Am I safe to assume that this is not...

Thank You. So helpful at preventing a visit from the screw up fairy. In my case the moderators might want to add a sticky section called "How did you FUBAR your Cruiser this week."

Sorry if this a total noob question. I am about to tackle solving my wiper issues and want to begin with cleaning the switch. Before I inevitably break something, I though it prudent to ask how to safely remove the switch. Is there a locking nut on the other side of the dash that needs to be...

My new to me '76 40 seems to have a strange gremlin in the wipers. They only have one speed which I assume is slow. They work for 5-10 minutes, then I start to hear a thump with each stroke, then they slow down, finally they stop and die. If I let the car sit for a while they are miraculously...
