Howdy from WA
It ain't the Wenatchee [or East Wenatchee] we grew up with. I live an hour plus away now (Mattawa - Desert Aire), but my brother is still off Sunset, near Bob Philes. . . . He has a few late sixties and a few seventies rigs. Just dropped off a new key and tumbler for my brother to give his...- Dejure

Electrical Load Causing Weak Blower Motor?
As I pointed out in the past, not always on the relay thing. Many systems, like mine, do not have and never did have a relay. Schematics and wire diagrams bear this out. Too, there is the absurdity of putting a relay only on the high speed circuit. All three [or four] speeds should have the...- Dejure

Electrical Load Causing Weak Blower Motor?
However, qualify that with, one terminal of the resister plug, essentially, acts as a terminal block. The switch high speed feeds into it, and a second wire from the same terminal feeds on to the motor. Thus, as we noted, bypassing the resistor. But it leaves the rare potential for corrosion...- Dejure

Electrical Load Causing Weak Blower Motor?
That, obviously, won't hurt anything, but blower resistors tend to be all or nothing creatures. That is, they are working or they aren't (they open up). Said another way, resistors don't tend to increase in resistance, instead, they just open [while caps tend to short, then really blow out]...- Dejure

Electrical Load Causing Weak Blower Motor?
If your addtions lowered the power to your blower, it suggests: (1) Everything is running at the same time; (2) You're running too much load for the wire size feeding everything; and, (3) You, likely, are running too big a fuse. You could do some simple tests: (1) Run a power line from the...- Dejure

electric choke/ operating in reverse at start up
When I got my rig home, after it sat for a few days, the battery would be dead. Pulled the negative cable and put a light between the cable and the battery. The light lit, indicating a drain. I isolated the drain to the choke. Someone had tied it straight to the battery. This meant the...- Dejure

I can, the value of my time 3-D drawing it aside. One advantage of printing my own is, I can modify to my want and need. -
Tire Pressure Monitors [TPM's]
The TPM on our Subaru is just above a joke. Kind of like the warning lights that tell you, "you just let your engine be killed." About all it does is, give you a general warning the tire is low, OR all four of your tires are flat. For example, when you swap summer/winter tires and their...- Dejure

What have you done to your square lately??
Hmm. Was wondering what I should do with the ash tray slot. It might be a good place to put a tire pressure readout AND USB ports. . . . Actually a pretty simple 3-D print. SIDE NOTE: May try some ASA filament. Got in the truck yesterday and noted the prototype PLA prints were molding... -
Tachometer 6 cylinder
Had a long post about my tach install, then it dawned on me, you're dealing with the stock dash components and the limited room that comes with that, versus the entire dash I built (mahogany) and was able to modify to do everything I demanded of it. No reasonable way to install most aftermarket...- Dejure

Have you checked your ground?
Best shock I ever woke up from: An RF shock when the two watt bulb I was working with keyed a transmitter I was working on. Never found my aluminum screwdriver, or hints of the roll of electrical tape I'd wrapped it with. We were across the big ponds. They made us take down our antennas during...- Dejure

1977 K30 draining battery
The simple start: (1) Charge the battery. NOTE: Don't let a battery get and stay discharged for long, because that causes what is called sulfation That is material forming on the plate and ending or at least reducing the battery's life. (2) Disconnect the ground. (3) Put a 12 volt test light...- Dejure

We took a vote and decided that's too purty to put tires on, so your plans of driving this when done have been vetoed . . . .
