    Turn signal indicator on solid...

    update I just ordered a new passenger parking light assembly. I looked at the old one and the old one had a single blue wire again, just like the old one on the driver's side. I guess I'm expecting the replacement to have a single brown wire like the other side does now. If nothing else the...

    Turn signal indicator on solid...

    More info... So I just went out to the garage and checked the connection behind the passenger parking lamp. I was able to get that one lit (!) by bending the black plastic boot behind the light. I guess the contact behind the bulb isn't too tight. So the front parking lamps appear ok now...

    Turn signal indicator on solid...

    Two steps forward, one step back. Thanks! The advice has really helped me out. I just installed the new driver's side parking lamp assembly and immediately noticed that the one I was removing and replacing, which was new, was apparently wired wrong from the factory. The new one had a single...

    Turn signal indicator on solid...

    I want to add that when the car is off, and the parking lights are on, the passenger turn signal indicator is on solid. When I flip the turn signal stalk up as if turning on the flasher for that side, the light goes out and stays out. (The turn signal switch is a new OE one, and it was working...

    Turn signal indicator on solid...

    Thanks Thanks for the pic and help. I noticed the other day that the turn signal fuse was blown too, which I replaced. I just gave the wiring on the driver's side of the car a visual inspection and things appear normal, or the issue isn't obvious to me anyway. The harness colors are the same...

    Turn signal indicator on solid...

    I've replaced the engine harness, headlight harness, tailight harness, added a headlight relay harness, new bulbs everywhere, new headlight switch, new parking lights, new halogen headlights, new turn signal switch, and new fuses and flashers too as part of putting my car back together after...

    PA-Performance 3G Install...

    Yeah I agree, I think I will reinstall the stock alternator tonight and take the car and the kit to the local alternator and starter place next week. I suspect they will still need to know some misc wire colors so this info has really helped me. I thought the PA-Performance kit's directions...

    Electric fan install!!

    I installed the same fan. The probe actually goes pretty far in the fins to be tight. Gotta be lined up right to not mess up the fins too much. Here's a pic, with the silver probe visible in the upper right corner of the shroud: electric+fan.jpg (image)

    PA-Performance 3G Install...

    I talked to PA and they told me I should have had a ground bolt in the kit for the back of the alternator but it was probably just forgotten. So I grabbed one at lunch to use. They also had told me the ammeter should be ok but inaccurate (for the 95amp alternator I bought), but now I think i...

    PA-Performance 3G Install...

    Wow, thanks! Thanks for all the info, this helps! :nice: I have to deviate a bit since the kit I bought includes a modified external regulator that supposedly "completes the circuit", allowing it to be plugged into the stock harness on the radiator core support. (I guess this is the same as...

    PA-Performance 3G Install...

    I'm installing the 95amp 3G in my 66 this weekend... I bought the wiring kit to integrate with the stock stuff. Anyone have a blog or writeup that covers this particular alternator from PA-Performance? I'm not too electrical if you know what I mean, don't want to burn the car to the ground... My...

    Pulley bolt torque spec?

    I'm reinstalling my factory 2-groove pulley on the crank and 3-groove on the water pump. Anyone have the torque spec for these handy? Do they require thread locker or lock washers? The crank pulley did not have lock washers when I removed it (but the water pump pulley did) which surprised me. I...

    65 stang Gas Level Help !

    A new sender should be calibrated already, so I didn't even check but some people do. Make sure your tank is the stock 16 gallon unit before you order the 16 gallon fuel sender though. That combination will matter.

    Need Single-Groove Billet Crank Pulley...

    update March doesn't offer a stock size crank pulley for their 1550 kit, but they do offer the 131 alternator pulley which is 2.1" instead of 2.7" for the 137. I'm thinking of trying that. Also found a local OE 1 groove crank pulley which needs sanding and painting...

    Need Single-Groove Billet Crank Pulley...

    I was concerned about the fan's drain on the electrical. I have it wired to turn off with the engine off, which helps. I think what's mainly causing the issue though is the 22% or larger drop in alternator output due to the small crank pulley. If I can get the crank pulley back to 6.5 inches in...

    65 stang Gas Level Help !

    This is how I did mine... If you are replacing the fuel sender at the bottom of the gas tank, here's how I did mine. First take the *new* unit and dip the brass float in a cup of water for at least 10-15 seconds to make sure there are no pinholes in it. If there are pinholes you will see...

    Need Single-Groove Billet Crank Pulley...

    I'm using a newly rebuilt 61amp alternator that's kinda a ringer I guess, because the testing card that was attached to it shows 68amps at 5000rpm. I have no power anything, no AC, no radio, but do have all lighting, gauges, heater/blower, and a single electric fan from Old Air. This might not...

    Need Single-Groove Billet Crank Pulley...

    I officially give up on the March underdrive crank pulley -- seems to be too small for my application and the charging system doesn't charge enough until 3000rpms... I've been through two batteries, two alternators, and on my third voltage regulator. But I do like the water pump and alternator...

    Courtesy and Glovebox Light Wiring?

    I was replacing the flasher near the glovebox under the dash of my 66 and the courtesy and glovebox lights just turned off. I must have disrupted a wire or something. Can someone point me to a possible culprit? (The wiring appears all stock and original under there so the wire colors should be...

    Shifter rocks side-to-side under hard acceleration...

    Thanks Thanks guys. The shifter moves an inch or perhaps two while in gear and pedal-to-the-metal, side-to-side, which is the trans going back and forth. Just seemed like it should be pretty steady, if things were working or set up correctly. I'll buy the poly trans mount and probably some...
