    351W hot and making me crazy.

    I agree you need to get a thermometer on it to see if it is actually running too hot. And like previously stated, pull the #1 piston up to TDC on the compression stroke and see where the timing mark is. Hot starter is another possibility too. You mentioned headers, are they close to the starter...

    AC Evaporator Replacement 68

    You should wait on the AC until you are ready to charge it. AC is a sterile environment, it's best to leave everything sealed until it's time to evacuate and charge it. Just leaving a fitting off will allow moisture to get into the component and start corrosion. Eric

    Speedometer, temp, and fuel gauge issues (fox t5/late 5.8 in classic)

    1) Don't know what your manifold looks like, but the best place for the temp probe is in the intake near the Thermostat housing. 2) IF your speedo doesn't work, pull the cable off the speedo and see if you can turn the core , if you can the trans gear is stripped. If you can't, drive the car...

    73' Hard top shuts off unless you hold the shifter in park.

    OK, I may have misunderstood. Do you have a test light? If you don't buy one, they are cheap. With the key in the run position you just need voltage at the "+" wire on the coil. That power comes from the ignition switch, threw a resistor wire, (I think It's Pink). And if I recall there is a...

    73' Hard top shuts off unless you hold the shifter in park.

    There are 2 small wires on the starter solenoid, one is to jump 12v to the coil during crank, the other is the start wire that puts 12v to the s terminal to crank the starter, they may be switched. Does the engine start to crank as soon as you put the key to the run position? Take both of the...

    1969 AC switch wiring Help

    The microswitch is a single pole double throw switch, in one direction it connects the single terminal to one of the other 2, in the second position it connects the single terminal to the other of the 2 terminals, so your power wire will go to the single terminal and your clutch wire will go to...
