Finally soldered up my voltage converter for the new cluster. I swapped out the 50 amp ammeter for an oil pressure gauge then made this circuit to convert the battery voltage (10-18V) to the gauge voltage range (0-6V).
The mounting angle looks correct but that looks like a heat shield for a manual box. I believe this is a PS box heat shield which are hard to find. May give you some bargaining power. The heat shield mounting brackets are probably wrong too.
I daily drive my 73 with AC, 5 speed, 3FE, front disc brakes and power steering, 32" tires, It'll go 70-75 no problem. 80 is my limit, the tops of the doors start to peel out about there. Carb and points start to take away reliability unless you know how to take care of them (I found I did not).
I had an interesting problem last Saturday. I locked the Tuffy center console to go into the store, when I got home I could not unlock it. Apparently my haphazard stuffing of the winch controller in there resulted in the cable getting in the way of the lock. Luckily I was able to get one of...
I have a non rebuilt 1975 2f head in Southport, not too far from High Point. (60030, I need to double check). If interested. let me know and I'll pull it.
I've been looking at this 85940-89101 module. There has been some work on this that can be found in the 60 section and other places. I think it can be easily modified to be used with the negative switched wiper motors. This is the module and schematics.
I think connecting the NO contact of...
Mat, If you have a spare 84652-60330, I'm trying to find one. I like my modified ford intermittent wipers but am thinking of using one of those switches with a 85940-89101 wiper relay. I will have to modify my motor to switch on the hot side.
2fe or 3fe with the h55f is a good combination for most driving. If you are mostly just driving around town then the 5 speed is not worth the cost/effort. I drive my 3fe/5speed 60 - 70 mph on the highway all the time with 31" tires. The Toyota EFI is simple and reliable but the timing and...
You are correct there is something wrong with that schematic. The motor has three brushes, high speed brush, low speed brush, and a common brush. On the 40 ( I believe all) the common brush was connected to +12V. To go slow the low speed brush was grounded, to go fast the high speed brush is...
