    headlights & brakelights don't work

    It would seem you have two issues. If the headlamps work on high or low the the headlamp switch is ok. It's either the dimmer switch, connector or the wiring from the dimmer to the bulbs. No brakelamps: check for voltage in and out (when pressed) at the brakelamp switch. If good, check the...

    stereo died, fuses?

    If the battery power is good, check the Accessory power to make sure it is getting there too. And also check the ground.

    Can someone tell me which fuse is igntion hot on original fuse box?

    +1 You are not going to put that fuse box back in your car are you? If you are putting a new fuse box in, then I would plan for incorporating the circuits from the old box. That way you can get rid a a potential source of problems.

    Fan Relay

    Some relays are better quality than others. For a 30 amp circuit, you should use 10 ga wire and 8 ga for 40 amps. Cheap, loose or incorrectly crimped connectors are also a source of resistance, which = more current = heat = melted components and wires. If all checks out, maybe the fan motor is...

    Gauge Wiring with pics

    Nice. Where did you get the connectors? Did they come with the gauges or did you aquire them elsewhere? What made you decide to go with a trans temp gauge?

    3G alt conversion questions (w/pictures...)

    I don't know about the bracket. You could get a 3G for cheap at a salvage yard for the test fitting and alignment. I would run V-belts until I have the AC system and power rack items together.

    hELP CHANGING AUTO TRANSMISSION IN MY GARAGE

    I initially installed the AOD in mine with the engine from above, but had to R&R it later (twice) and it came out from underneath with the car up on four jack stands. I removed the saddle from my floor jack and bolted a 12 x 12 piece of wood to it. The jack stands didn't give enough...

    electrical problem with my 65 Mustang convertible

    If you have a digital voltmeter (you can get them now days for less than $10), Check your voltage at the battery after you jump it while it's running. It should be 13-14 volts. If not, it's either the voltage regulator or the alternator. Most Auto Parts places can test your alternator for free...

    Quick late model PMGR starter wiring question

    No, the 20 amp fuse is there to protect the wires and the relay feeding power to the solenoid during cranking, just in case for some reason the solenoid or wires short to ground.

    Ignition Switch

    A battery charger may introduce wierd symptoms. Install a battery with a full charge and see what happens. Troubleshoot one system at a time. The dimmer switch should be easy to troubleshoot. One wire with power going in when the light switch is on, and the other two outputs should alternate...

    tail light problem

    If you have not charged the battery in a while and there is a drain on the battery, (such as your door open and the courtesy lamps are on). The voltage may drop below 11 volts or so, but could still be plenty to crank the starter. For troubleshooting purposes, 10-12 volts would be good. That...

    tail light problem

    The common point is the Headlight switch, but you may have two separate issues. I would start checking for voltage using a test light at the light switch. Here is a diagram
