    Great Deal alert…Grille and Headlight Bezels

    @FireTruck1984,@AyWoSch Motors, Guys, please call these people and ask them if these bezels are plastic. That may be the reason for the cheap price. When I was parts shopping before I started rebuilding my truck there was a custom parts place in town. So I went over there and looked at their...

    grill hanging loose?

    Those square nut things would work for license plates screws to, I think. My truck doesn't have those but my wife's Subaru does. I know I've got another set of these around somewhere. I really didn't see these in the pic in the catalog. When I got the package is when I spotted them in the...

    Studying the schematic

    @Turbo4whl, Yeah, isn't it a triangle shaped symbol? I've seen those, I think. So, what's the diode symbol? That's interesting about the coil voltage even though I know nothing about electronics enough to comment on what you said, that explains why the tech guy said to put the diode in that...

    Studying the schematic

    @SquareRoot, Boy, you ain't kiddin'. I'm getting loopy talking about the same thing over and over. I think it's past the point of being educational. It's still informative and fun though. And I would never resist talking about anything on these trucks. They will forever be interesting...

    Praise for the Delco 2700

    I've been into "DX"ing, searching for stations, since I was about 4yrs. old. When my uncle graduyated from high school and got married I got his room at my grandmothers. He had a red plastic Motarola sitting in the shelf, that was made into the headboard. It was a "portable", which meant it...

    Studying the schematic

    @Ellie Niner, I looked up that diode and it says that it's a"silicone high current rectifier diode", "Schottky type" whatever any of that means. I've seen the "Schottky" site but it was so alien I couldn't even figure out what to do on it. And Ebay was no help either. It didn't show any that...

    Studying the schematic

    @EllieNiner, Man you're specking Greek to me. So is what the Autometer guy, or maybe it was the MSD tech guy told me about it's protection of my electrical system, so is it doing what he said it would do, not letting juice left over from the power of the mini starter come back up the wire and...

    Can’t get these gauges to work…

    @ohaggdahl, Welcome to the forum from Louisiana first of all. well, I've been working with my gauges, Autometer, and studying the schematic for a couple of weeks now while I puit in a new Amp gauge and running wires for it and double checking all the wires for correct placement and whatnot...

    84 c20 gauge pin out

    @seniorbear69, You need another "box" that the printed circuit lays onto. The plastic "box" has the places for the bulbs, and metal clips for all the gauges to "plug" into. There are pins on the back of the gauges that you push into those metal clips and the clips make contact with the...

    Which wiring harness

    @AKguy, So what was your experience with American Autowire? Compare what @ak4life said and were your experiences about the same, different, better, what?

    Dually Fender Clearance Light Wiring

    @stpeteblue, Are the lights you're talking about those lights on the front of your dually fenders, I see in your little picture of your name? What is that truck?

    Studying the schematic

    @Bextreme04, Here's what was up on the junction block that I replaced with that modern type fuse holder. Now, isn't this gaudy? I wouldn't want that thing sticking out in every bodies face when I was showing my truck. To me, that looks cheap!

    Studying the schematic

    @Bextreme0The pic above is of the fan relay box that is usually on the side of the evaporator box of the A/C. You can see that there is a #10 purple wire to the blower motor, and that #10 orange wire, I guess is the power for the fan in the A/C configuration. That schematic I drew shows it...

    Studying the schematic

    @Bextreme04, No, I'm the second owner, but I was the one who put that 20 amp fuse holder on there but it replaced one of those big twist together fuse holders and I didn't like the looks of it so I put the one you see in there. The big twist together fuse holder that was originally there had a...

    Studying the schematic

    @Ellie Niner, You know what I just realized??? You know that nasty looking wire that was attached to the Alt. wire? If you read what me and @SquareRoot have been talking about where I need another fusible link up on the junction block because the schematic shows two fusible links, one on the...

    Studying the schematic

    @SquareRoot, NAPA has one. A reference said the wire gauge is supposed to be 4 sizes smaller than the wire it's protecting. NAPA has a #16 gauge with the fusible link in the middle. I'll go get that tomorrow, but I have to start on my Christmas cards I send out every year. I send out over...

    Studying the schematic

    @SquareRoot, Looking at the schematic you are correct in that the #10 red wire on the solenoid on mine does have a fusible link on it. On the schematic the other fusible link shown is on the Alt. wire, and it goes to the junction block which mine does, but doesn't have the fusible link on it...

    I don't know about ya'll, but I'm sick of seeing all this wiring. I'm ready for some different wires to look at!

    Studying the schematic

    @Ellie Niner Here's what I was referring to in the above post.This is a closeup of the number on it. I'm sure I have the info on this little thing, but it's in my rebuild notes and stuff and I'd have to do some digging to find it. It's not a "shunt" I don't think. I don't recall names of...

    Studying the schematic

    @Ellie Niner, This should interest you. When I was putting in the Autometer ignition system stuff, the tech guy said to put this in line with the one of the starter wires, and he said which one, I don't remember what he called it. He said it would keep stray over voltage from the starter...

    The above pic is of the other end of the #10 red wire that goes to the solenoid.The above pic is of where the end of that wire goes to the junction block.The above pic is the Alternator wire.The above pic is just showing the #10 red wire that goes to the starter is just running for a short...

    Studying the schematic

    The above pic is of the #10 purple wire down on the starter solenoid. It goes from there into the harness and into the cab and goes to the ignition switch.The above pic is of the #10 red wire on the solenoid. From here it goes up to the junction block.The above pic is of the #16 orange wire on...

    Studying the schematic

    I got this schematic from "73-87 Chevy Trucks.com Parts, Restoration, Community". One thing about how I left the truck from when it had air, is, when I put the slider on the heater/A/C control where you can open the door more on the heater core, and make it hotter in the truck without turning...

    Studying the schematic

    @Bextreme04, That's exactly the same schematic I'm using! That's the factory schematic, but the wiring changes for trucks with A/C. That's what messed me up. I kept looking for this wiring that had different colors than what I was looking at in my truck. Here's the schematic I found on...

    Studying the schematic

    @Bextreme04, I have two down there on the starter. But my schematic only shows one should be in the starter wiring. Like I said if it was on the truck when I cut all that extra wire out of the factory starter wiring, I left everything just like it was and just cut it in half and put it all up...
