    Studying the schematic

    Okay, I just got through switching the starter power wire over to the small screw on the junction block along with returning the fan motor wire with the 20 amp. fuse on it to that screw as well. It's such a little change but as far as complying with the schematic layout, it's how I believe it...

    Studying the schematic

    @Ellie Niner, WOW! Yeah, I wanted an Amp gauge in the truck ever since I bought this truck and saw that it had both, volts and amp. from the factory. Although I couldn't figure out what had happened to the Amp gauge, it never worked. And like a dummy I hooked up my Autometer Amp gauge to...

    Studying the schematic

    @SquareRoot, And last night after I wrote about that junction block I went on line to try to find a schematic on my year truck with A/C. I found one on another forum. I did go to our library to find one first, but it wasn't there. After looking at the schematic I found, and the way the...

    wiring to glove compartment

    @AuroraGirl, I've never had any stickers like those inside my door jam. The only thing I have had is that metal plate with all that kind of info on it. That I took off and after the doors were done being painted I put it back on the drivers side door opening where it came off. I pop riveted...

    wiring to glove compartment

    @AuroraGirl, @Bextreme04, THAT'S IT!! Well I'll be. Man, there's a lot of it missing on mine. There is no sign of anything ever being inside the glove compartment the size of the SPID sticker though. I wonder if I could find another one, blank, that I could type in the info. I have an old...

    Studying the schematic

    @Scott91370, It's a block I made in order to split the starter wiring so I could use a hand held remote start switch so I could turn the engine over and adjust the lifters from time to time, and do other tuning and or whatever I may need to do with a remote start switch. Otherwise I would have...

    Studying the schematic

    @SquareRoot, Did your truck ever have A/C? The one of the pic showing the fried wire? Because the junction block is turned like mine with the 1/4" screw on the right. I'm going strictly by the schematic that shows non A/C, the 1/4" screw on the left. Does any of this make any difference...

    Studying the schematic

    Hold your horses! Stop the presses! You know what I realized today??!! The reason why some of these blower fan wires, relay wiring, fan speed switch wiring, resistor box wiring, and why that big orange wire is up there on the junction block, and why none of these wires seem to make sense as...

    Studying the schematic

    @SquareRoot, What the schematic is calling the "fusible link" is up on the junction block there is a thin plate thing that connects between the 1/4" screw and the #10 little screw. That thin "plate" connector, or some other description of it, is placed over the two screws. The ring terminals...

    Studying the schematic

    I'm including what I did to correct the wiring so I could safely wire the Amp gauge then you'll get to see what I found better.In the pic above, up on the junction box you'll see one #10 red wire, the one that's just below the #10 red wire with the ring terminal right now unattached, on it...

    Studying the schematic

    Wow, thanks everyone!! Like I tried to indicate this is the "virgin" condition before I moved some wires around for the new Amp gauge rewire. Ya'll were hitting right around it, and yeah you'd need to look at the schematic to see how it's supposed to be. But, @Ellie Niner when we were...

    What is the sticker in the glove compartment?

    I thought I'd move this over to "Interior" in hopes of drawing more responses.What is this called? Somekind of "Plate"? Mine has always looked like this. I can't remember it looking better than this. I probably would have kept better care of it if it had been in better shape. But you can...

    wiring to glove compartment

    I don't ever remember it being more than what you see. Otherwise I would have kept it protected better. It's always been like this. There may have been more but I don't know what happened to it. I do know I didn't tear any of it off years ago. I really don't use the glove comp't that much...

    wiring to glove compartment

    @AuroraGirl, Yeah. But I saw images of what you're talking about on the internet and this is not that big.In the pic above you can see that the vin number is on there and I looked very closely at what I could see and it says something about "cargo weight" and it has the year of mfg., 1973 (the...

    wiring to glove compartment

    @Goldie Driver, I found out what it was, over on the "'73-'87" (something about Chevy trucks) forum I stumbled across while Googling it. It's called a "SPID" sticker. It tells the stuff on the truck. What do ya'll call it, a "plastic plate" or something like that?? Does that name sound...

    Studying the schematic

    @Ellie Niner, here's the "picture". Look closely at the "junction block" and, I don't want to give it away, but you can look at the wires below the junction block, on that wiring block I made below it, kinda take all that in and let's see if you can figure out what's wrong. Tell me if you see...

    Studying the schematic

    Since I've been messing with the wiring for various and sundri electrical jobs on my truck, I've had to do a lot of studying of the schematic on the truck, a lot. I was studying the schematic tonight and I made a startling discovery. I've got something very wrong with my primary wiring in the...

    wiring to glove compartment

    @Goldie Driver, @AuroraGirl, @Bextreme04, Look at that old decal on the back of the glove compartment door in the above picture. Just in front of my spiral note pads, not the one that's on that space on top of that open flat place, that talks about the fuel requirements, no, the door part...

    wiring to glove compartment

    Pictures of glove compartment light.In the above pic it looks blue but it is white. I have a couple of work lights on in the truck and I turned them off so you can see how bright it is. I've got so much stuff in my glove compartment, as I'm sure many here do, but that light is plenty bright to...

    wiring to glove compartment

    I cleaned up that nasty looking orange wire today and did some more testing and found that the LED that was in there was a bad LED. I threw it away, and boy does that urk me to have to do that. I'm always trying to resurrect things that are hopelessly gone. I do it to plants I find people...

    After the indicator install

    So, as soon as I put the new indicator in my truck, even after all I did to it to hopefully make it work better, and smoother, the dang thing hung up anyway!!! I had mentioned in another post that I was holding out on just putting in one of my old ones just in case, well this is the "just in...

    Aftermarket gear indicator fit

    @AuroraGirl, Thanks, but no thanks. I just had the suspension overhauled a couple of years ago, new shocks to. I bought a complete set of shocks, McPherson strut kind for less than $400 shipped off the internet!! That's something, huh? We took the car to this place that does good cheap...

    And more.This is what it looks like when your soldering iron gets out of control! Ha, ha, ha, ha! I did not mean to do this, I promise you. It's the soldering iron's fault, it was trying to burn the heck out of me and we had a wrestling match going on. And then to, every time I tried to...

    wiring to glove compartment

    At least here are some pics to look at while you're reading that book above.These are the LED lights I found at Advance Auto Parts. They're good lights. Made by "Alten". Whoever. I originally bought these to put in computer cases I was modding. You know there was this craze back in the '90's...

    wiring to glove compartment

    Bring your lunch and a pillow to, this is long. Sorry. I had put a mini LED in my glove comp't because my truck didn't come with one, and I got tired of having to find my flashlight to look for something in my glove comp't at night. I found these mini LED lights years ago wandering around in...
