    Gas gage reads over F when hooked up to the printed ciruit but below E when hard wired to the tank/power/ground

    A couple of years ago I replaced the entire wiring harness (painless wiring) from headlights to tailights and I am very happy with the results except for the gas gage. I also replaced the printed cuircuit. When hooked up normally to the gage cluster/printed curcuit she would always read over...

    5 year old 350 engine, 10 year old 1406 edelbrock I have rebuilt a couple times. Fuel pump is a couple years old.

    SM465 to np205 clack-a-lackin when I get on it

    I am thinking it might be the power sleeve but she is "tight" going on the 10 spline input/output shafts. Sounds like it is coming through the adapter as I have yet to put a shifter boot over the four on the floor lever. It only happens when the driveline is getting full torque. Any ideas...

    Wiper motor has no programmed stop/start position

    Whenever operating the wipers recently, I have to turn them off at the switch at just the right time or they don't return to the stop/start position. I'm thinking it might be a bad ground or connection at the motor and have done zero investigation as of yet. She is an '84 I think. Hope it...
