Update on the Stable

Hey Everyone and Happy New Year. Hope all is well. What a crazy year...

Anyway thought I'd give a brief update.

Did a wire tuck on Cherry. Relocated the coil. Right now in the middle of installing a full set of Autometer Phantom Gauges using the Classic Dash pod and wiring set.

Also replaced the 20 year old master cylinder and 34 year old calipers, hoses, and new pads, bearings, seals, rotors on the 86 T Top

Nice gauges and dash pod.

What bracket did you use for the coil mount?

And a better look at that cover on the left inner fender.

Mike, I pulled it off a Mustang 2 years ago in the junkyard and can't remember 100%... It's square , flat and fits nicely in the strut tower space. I did have to enlarge the mounting holes.

the panel on the inner passenger side where the power pipe goes? I made both sides myself from some sheet metal I bought at Home Depot.

Nope, drivers side.

on the red car? I'll take some pics . Just formed, trimmed, primed and painted some thin gauge sheet metal. Laid it over the existing innder fender panel Used some small rivets to secure and sanded, painted over the heads. Came out decent for a guy who last painted a car in 1980 for good reason. lol

took apart the dash and retaped the wiring with Tessa tape . waiting on the resistor for install

so I came across this piece of bling bling on FB - it's a one off factory coil bracket that was chromed with a custom chrome cover.

I scored the Unicorn of Halo Headrests on Flea Bay. Used some Kiwi Black shoe polish and they are good as new

Trial fitted the autometer dash. all of the gauges work , the high beam indcator work, however two things I need to troubleshoot
1. the LED warning/MIL light remains on constant now
2. The alternator is not charging the battery. I tried it with and without a wire with the 510ohm resistor jumped between #2 and #14 wires on the passenger side plug.

Finally got around to the gauges again. After reviewing the pin outs and taking a test light and jumpering #2 and #14 on the passenger plug- that fixed the non charging issue. Jumpered the two wires and solved that problem. Classic Dash sucks eggs. No mention of this in their instructions and their "tech guy" was worthless.

Did some major trimming on the Dash housing to make it fit and buttoned everything back up. Working with a bad back makes everything take twice as long, but got it done.
