On 2 different occasions, I blew the ignition fuse at the fuse panel that powers the coil when ignition is in running position. Both times have been when taking off from a stop at a red light. Is there anything else on this circuit other than the coil that could be shorting or causing this fuse...
1973 FJ40 was running great, then let me down roadside. Originally I was seeing only 10v at +coil side with ignition in run, but the truck ran. I figured I had a detiorating ignition switch. Then during the break down I had 0v with key on run. Figured my ignition switch was failed completely. I...
I had same issue and my problem was that the new light assembly had the wrong bulbs in. The flasher requires certain resistance to create the flash. There's enough of that when the hazards are on and both bulbs are illuminated. Not enough when just one turn signal is activated. Replace the turn...
Since last fall my 40 has been reliable and trouble free - until last weekend. While cruising about 40-mph it suddenly shut down. No sputtering at all, just died. I coasted to the side of the road turned the ignition off, then went to re-start and it fired right back up. I ran it a couple more...
I guess it depends on what the intent is...some states don't title vehicles older than 15 years old. I bought a non titled vehicle and got it registered in my name no problem.
I'm a little embarressed to say - Velcro. I cut out the inner flange on the hubcaps and they fit nicely around the profile of the steelie wheels. So far so good, a couple hundred miles and I haven't lost one and they haven't shifted. Admittedly, I haven't done any wheeling. I went with the...
It's been a great ride and I couldn't have done it without all the informative people in this community! I have to say thanks to all those that take the time to post such great build threads that prove to be such a resource for info. I apologize that I couldn't keep up with all my lessons...
Well, it's been a 3 year process, but I actually got mine out and took it for a spin! Couldn't of done it without all the help and things I've read on here!
Does anyone know if the resistance is different between the two water temp sending units? When I plug my cluster gauge into the sending unit closest to the firewall the temp gauge barely moves from the left. When I plug the cluster gauge into the foreword sending unit (the unit I believe...
I went with Omni ppg. Overall very happy. If I had to do it again I'd paint the rims something other than smoke gray to provide moreover contrast. Pics below.
