Thanks, very helpful. Mine has been desmogged and carb switched from OEM to Weber. I'll hold on in case I ever switch back to OEM. I'll add to the box with pedal and linkage along with the hog wire and sharkbite parts the PO left for me!
My January '76 has it too. Removing it now since can't figure out what it is for. My truck has a weber 38 and the PO rigged the throttle linkage to work on it using wire twisted around the booster and even added some sharkbite parts (I'm not kidding). Converting it to the weber/TPI pedal kit...
Thank you all. Especially the part about the potential of it filling with gas if using the block-off. I think that answers my question and will pull it to have it done more permanent. While I'm at it might as well pull everything off and replace the manifold gasket while it is half off...
While chasing a vacuum leak at the base of the carb I removed it to find a crack in the center of the intake manifold. Looks like it was repaired at some point with an epoxy which partially flaked off. No telling how long ago. I'm looking for an intake manifold but started thinking... is it...
Hi All - looking for a Con-Ferr or similarly sized grab bar for the dash that works with a dash pad and still allows access to the glovebox. Preferably one with the single bolt on each side to minimize footprint on the dash (and new holes). Anyone have one available for sale and shipping to...
I would really love a parts car if I had space - and a wife who likes old dirty rusty cars taking up garage space.
Are the defrost tubes (ducts from heater to windshield) available and the fan pull knob? I only need the knob but understand if trying to keep it together with the switch.
I’ve...
Hi All - Chasing all the wiring and had the cluster out. I've looked at almost every thread about ammeter connections and clusters and looks like my connections are reversed. Before I switch them is it correct that the + connection is the all white 10ga and the - is the white-blue 10ga? On...
My wiring barely resembles the wiring diagram since it has been hacked what feels like a thousand times over it's life. But somehow it works - well most of it. I've had it a year almost to the day now and am finally starting to tackle the spaghetti which leads me to the first question - how...
Wow - that is cruel to hide it there. Confirmed that the ground screw to frame is in the same place on a 1/76. I've got a feeling this will require some scrubbing. Will update in the morning. I love mud!
Thanks. Yes, it has a dedicated ring connector to one of the sender screws. Cleaned it off with contact cleaner and a wire pad just to make certain it is all good. Still no signal to the cluster so working my way up the harness and back through the dash.
I didn't see any burned or broken...
Hi All. I've had my '76 40 since February and the gas gauge has never worked. Been ticking through a list and started tracing wires since I'm waiting on parts. I replaced the sender this week even though it tested right with 3ohms resistance. Connections in the dash look tight and I pulled...
