I put an internally regulated 3 wire alternator on my 62 Parisienne in place of the generator when I swapped the six for a V8. I followed a Chevy wiring diagram for a car without an ammeter. It works - charges 14+ volts under load, but the factory ammeter doesn't read properly, plus I think I'm getting a d...

Since I have the cluster out of my Laurentian, I felt now was a good time to remove that center dash speaker and convert to stereo speakers. Here is the original 40 year old speaker: Utilizing the original bracket for that speaker, I mounted to Audiovox units I picked up at Princess Auto for a whopping $3...

I wanted to put a modern sound system in the Laurentian but didn't want a modern deck in the factory radio hole (the 8 track player is too cool to remove!). I thought about mounting a deck in the glovebox but that would be a pain as these cars are too wide to reach the glove box easily from the drivers seat. Wh...

Tonight I started my latest project: Swapping my idiot light cluster with a gauge cluster. Two hours later I had the cluster out. It was a b**ch to remove! I had to remove the steering column bolts to provide clearance to get the trim bezel out. Even though I protected my column with masking tape, I still...

I was working under dash area of 66 Pontiac, and noticed my gas guage is reading upside down ( again) and if I move the steering column, the interior lights and underdash guages, flicker and get dimmer or brighter, depending on which way I move column.. There doesnt seem to be a ground strap anywhere on c...

I finally got to cleaning out the trunk of the Laurentian tonight. I'm sure the spare was one of the original tires! I installed my "new and improved" redline spare (NOS thanks to Ken Leblanc) and a new rally wheel from Coker. All I need now is a trunk mat and I'm set. There was quite a bit of 1978...

O.K. I have a '66 Grande Parisienne and cannot remove the upper dash panel. I have removed the screws from the instumentation panel and got the padded bit free but the metal part of the panel will not come free. There is some sort of pin that goes through the firewall holding the assembly in place. Is ther...

I am working on a '66 Grande Parisienne and am puzzled about how my courtesy lights are working. When I open the driver's door, the underdash lights come on but not the rear sail panel and console lights. On the other hand, when I open the passenger door, the sail panel and console lights come on but no und...

For those thinking of getting one, here's a lit shot of the 69' Full size optional rally cluster I just got. Looks nice, but I don't think there's any way the ammeter will work with the 115 amp alternator I plan to install. I might just try to get it converted to a voltmeter. No problem with the oil pre...
