    Ignition Switch Wiring Pertronix Type Question (from a newbie)

    I just did this mod the other day. Like everyone says, unplug the pink one, put a new wire in. I used a 14 gauge I think since it looks a bit thicker, and just wired it straight to the coil. Remove the old one out. Not sure on yours but my wiring at the coil is a red and green stripe.

    bad turn signal switch

    Does sound like the flasher. I replaced mine because it was smoking whenever my turn signal was on. Indication showed there it was short circuiting. The switch does control the brake lights and signals but if it's your signals not working, I'd definitely lean towards replacing your flasher.

    bad turn signal switch

    I just installed mine today. Everything works on it. The only TINY issue I really have is the bar to turn the signals on. It jiggles lightly where the rivet holds it in. So that's the only small issue I have.

    bad turn signal switch

    Ugh! Don't scare me right now. I just bought a turn signal switch from NPD but haven't installed it. Like junkie said, tell EXACTLY what's wrong with it.

    Car is back from bodyshop finally

    Think I might bondo my rear end caps. I was just talking to my dad the other day about that, and said Why did they make it that way?? Looks good smooth and definitely love that paint color.

    Retro vs Custom

    True about the radio not what makes the quality of sound 100%. I kept the factory radio in the dash where it from day one, but I installed a Kenwood in the glove box. But what's connected, I hooked up a pair of Alpines custom made in the rear, and a pair of Pioneers in the front. The thing is...

    3g alternator install... walk through?

    I don't know what to tell you. Mine was able to swap. Maybe someone else had an experience like you did.

    3g alternator install... walk through?

    I've never heard of the pulley not fitting. My pulley was able to fit to my 3g alternator with no issues. I ended up having to change the belt to a 1 inch longer belt to reach the pulley.

    Body and paint triage

    I know for the floor boards, I had lots of surface rust, but nothing too major to where I can sand it down. I ended up smoothing it out, and then putting some rustoleum rust protectant on it, and then painting it with a regular satin black paint on it from rustoleum to even give it more...

    Rear End Ratio?

    I've been interested in a T-5 lately, and from what I hear, 3.73 is pretty good for both if it comes for a 8.8. I'm running a C4 3.40 Ford 8 and it's not THAT bad.

    Custom Hood Scoop

    Think the only problem with hood tachs if you park it at a store or somewhere not covered such as a garage, you got some idiot who would damage it. Well, at least in Cali we have tons of those people around. Looks nice though IMO.

    65-66 front fender replacements- Do they fit?

    Thanks Dennis. I needed that feedback for sure!! Dynacorn or OG Tooling are the last 2 to look for.

    65-66 front fender replacements- Do they fit?

    That's the thing. If you try to fit it, they won't take it back, or you'll have to pay to ship it back. I've read that Dynacorn is probably the best repro you can buy. Do some googling. You'd be surprised what you can find about them. I've got tons of recommendation if you don't go with...

    65-66 front fender replacements- Do they fit?

    I'm in the same boat as well, just like you. I mean my fender COULD be fixed, but I'd rather replace it and I found some places in LA who are selling an original, but I just don't want to drive 2 hours just to get a fender.

    65-66 front fender replacements- Do they fit?

    Ahh Gotcha. I base it off the description. Sometimes you can just go buy the pricing. For example. Some moron emailed me about buying a new fender as stated above in a couple post ago. how do I know it's not OEM? The website says aftermarket and for $139.00. it's DEFINITELY not an OEM. It may...

    65-66 front fender replacements- Do they fit?

    How do you know a fender is NOT a Goodmark? I don't know what you're asking. Can you be a little more detailed with your question.

    65-66 front fender replacements- Do they fit?

    How'd you like those Goodmarks? I'm looking at a Goodmark Fender right now if I can't find an original, but I heard they're fitment is pretty good. Some guy emailed me to go to this Collision Parts Warehouse which I know of, and said why buy used fenders if you can buy a brand new OEM fender...

    15" tire size question again!

    I'm running 15x7's on all 4. It's a 66, front end 1" drop, and the rear are a 1 inch lowering, but I installed 1 inch longer shackles so it's basically a 2 finger gap between wheel/wheel-well.

    15" tire size question again!

    No doubt. I'm running on the BFGs with the 225/60 and they're great! Just did a tire roatation because my front isn't aligned yet but overall, still an even wear on all 4.
