    new manual steering box or tcp manual r&p

    Quote "If you search this forum you will se many complaints regarding the "new" Flaming River boxes." Really? , I don't recall any. Since you have everything new already, I would replace the box. I have the Flaming River box and have had no issues. They include needle bearings where the...

    70 stang won't start

    No power to any lights and no solenoid engagement indicates a problem with the battery/cables. The relay was likely added for auxiliary lights or accessories. It shouldn’t affect your starting issues.

    Flaming River steering box (already used search button)

    So if it's a coupler or U-joint there should be a lock screw or collar bolt in it somewhere.

    Unexpected "Cash For Clunkers" Consequence?

    It sounds like he talked to a Bonehead at the Boneyard. :rlaugh: It's possible at that time a lot of the would be available LS engines were coming in cars that were part of the Cash for Clunkers. Any vehicle that is not CforC, does not have to have its engine destroyed. A salvage yard...

    Flaming River steering box (already used search button)

    I didn't remove one, but I installed one where I used to have the long shaft box. I used a '68 column and a coupler. If it looks like this you should be able to remove the two nuts to uncouple it from the column and remove the box with the coupler attached. Can I ask why you are removing it?

    Quick multimeter question

    You really don't even need a multimeter to find a slow drain. Get a brake light bulb and socket and put it in series with the battery. Make sure the ignition is off and the doors are closed. If it lights up, something is drawing too much current. It takes over 2 amps to light the bulb which...

    Can't start Mustang...strange electrical gremlin?

    You can't redo the ends. You have to replace the cables. The molded end cables are not that expensive and are more sealed from the corrosive out-gassing that occurs during battery re-charging. The cable clamp type battery terminals are ok for a quick fix, but the exposed open end of the cable...

    Restarting the 302 - Should It Sound Like This?

    I'm sure some of the noise are because of the headers. They transmit a lot more exhaust noise than cast iron mainfolds. Check and make sure the header bolts are tight and you can sometimes feel a leak with your hand. Just make sure you do it when it's cold. :( If it was rebuilt a while ago...

    Can't start Mustang...strange electrical gremlin?

    ??? You mean recharge? If just a few clicks is killing the batteries you tried, then there is something wrong with your batteries. A fully charged battery should be smoking the cables, solenoid or starter before its dead. I agree with D.Hearne and 68Blue302Coupe about the cables. Make sure...

    Heater Resistor--1965

    I'm not sure how the early two speeds are wired, but it would have to be one of these diagrams. Check to see where the power is going to. Either the motor like the later three speed or more likely to the switch which would make the black wire at the motor the ground.

    Taurus Fan Wiring Problem

    Cool :nice: It's nice when you can do stuff yourself and when you hit a snag, having a place to get some help to get it going. Since my original Aluminum radiator and Taurus fan install, I've gone from failed homemade controllers to adjustable Hayden Mechanical Tube type, Melted relays...

    Please Help!! Voltage issues or so I think...

    Yes. Dirt and old rust particles are going to float and slosh around but eventually get sucked into the line and clog up the fuel filter or a carb passage. It can be intermittant. You are describing how my car acted when my filter was clogged. It would idle fine, but once in a while it would...

    Please Help!! Voltage issues or so I think...

    How is it grounded now? With your battery is in the trunk, there needs to be a ground cable from the Neg post to the trunk floor. I used the area just inboard of the right frame rail where the frame lip meets the trunk floor. There should also be a ground cable from the engine block to the...

    Summit/Northern Radiator Mounting - Summit 380100 ok?

    Mine sits below the core support lip, but the cap is just above it. I clearanced a "C" into the lip for the neck. It's not noticeable because I have the hood seal mounted on the core support lip. Here is a pic without the hood seal: And one with: Here are the lower brackets I made...

    Please Help!! Voltage issues or so I think...

    The more you describe your fault, the more it sounds like you may have crap in the fuel tank/line/filter/carb. What makes you so sure it's electrical?

    Can't start Mustang...strange electrical gremlin?

    Yes If you have or can borrow a voltmeter, see what the battery voltage is before and during the attempted cranking. A battery that is fully charged doesn't necessarily mean that it is a good battery. If it has just one bad cell, the initial charge can drop down to nothing when a load is...

    Please Help!! Voltage issues or so I think...

    I think you may have found the answer. Even if your stock wiring harness was not torn into, it is over 40 years old. I'm not saying replace the entire harness, but the important circuits like the Ignition should be considered. The battery feed from the solenoid to the Ignition switch and...

    Taurus Fan Wiring Problem

    Things I've found out from research and personally wiring my Taurus fan: 1. The Taurus fan cannot have power applied to the high winding and the low winding at the same time. 2. The high speed will melt a typical 30/40 amp Bosch type relay. A heavy duty relay is required: The heavy...
