    Instrument Cluster connector

    Years ago I pimped out my CUCV Blazer with a silverado gauge cluster. All I did was de-pin and re-pin the plug end and follow the path on the circuit board finding the proper gauge.

    You might try removing the glow plugs (10mm deep socket) and try to turn it over first. Don't be surprised If the plugs put up a fight coming out. That will determine step two.

    Broken exhaust flange bolts

    If you are able to drill the old broken studs out, maybe use 1/4" nuts & bolts as replacement?

    What kind of shift lever is this?

    I was focused on the rosewood steering wheel. Someone with welding skills and torches could make one out of round stock.

    Am I Crazy? Lincoln Drive Train Swap

    Nathan's garage on utube puts a crown vic chassis under a C10. I would much rather see a C10 with the Chevy Caprice 9C1 package.

    3 or 4 cylinder engine with a 8 or 6 cylinder Dwell meter.

    Trying to tune up a JDM mini truck with a carb and points distributor. My analog dwell meter is for 6 or 8 cylinders. Would I half the 8 cyl. reading for a 4 banger ? Would that be the same for a 3?

    Reverse light options

    MA antique registered vehicles are exempt from annual inspections, but there are restrictions on their use.

    Reverse light options

    Find a different inspection station. I may know of one in the 508 area code. Read up on Mass. 540CMR 4.04 (10)(d) there is no mention of how they work, only that they must work.

    Down 1 Cylinder

    Are you using a stock type HEI? Have you looked inside the cap for something odd/out of place like a messed up post?
  19. Rickf

    Has anyone done this? Some ideas or tips could help.

    Maybe try to find a mid 80's school bus fiberglass tilt nose and copy the tilt mechanism.

    Side marker led lights dim when marker lights on

    I haven't been able to find out what/who's bulbs I used and I don't have the truck any more. I kinda remember the bulbs had a built in resistor, not sure it was a few years ago. You may try to put the bulbs in 180* and see what happens.

    Side marker led lights dim when marker lights on

    My vote is for the wrong type of LED 194 bulbs. I had a similar issue and solved it with the "correct" LED's. :cheers:

    Electronic Trans Swap

    Did you test fit with a torque converter in place? If so, maybe it wasn't fully seated.
