STICKY:
65-68? Column signal switch and harness diagram.
(Preview)
Having a little bit of trouble with my column switch, the little switch assembly is really fussy. To help troubleshoot I decided to actually figure out how that little mystery switch works, and what is what. Seeing as it's a hit and miss on the web, I created a diagram for us showing how the contact pins a...

(Preview)
Had an odd issue happen with my recently acquired car when I went to change the oil. Ive kept battery reasonably charged (negative cable disconnected) by putting on my little trickle charger occasionally so when I went to start car after 3 months it started fine but I only let it idle long enough to warm...

Gas gauge 65. A little concern.
(Preview)
So when I started up the 65, I had the gas gauge hooked up. No fuel in the tank. So when I fired it up, about 10 seconds in, I see a tiny wisp of smoke come up. Dash top is off, it was coming from the gas gauge. Now when I put the gauge in, I did notice that the little resistance winding board on the back looked a litt...

GM Power Beam Headlamp
(Preview)
I was looking through some spare parts of mine and come across a GM headlamp. Not a T3 but a Power Beam. Were these headlamps the dealer replacement for the T3s? The insignia in the middle looks like the Delco sign. Cant say Ive ever seen one. Always Sylvania or General Electric. When did Delco quit makin...

Radio issues ? I may have a high quality cost effective solution for you.
(Preview)
Have you ever wanted to wring the neck of a friend? How about someone who stuffed a CD in your Corvette Delco Bose Gold series as his quick method for fixing your radio, oh there already was a CD in there? This rendered the radio, CD and cassette completely unusable. Luckily this "friend" was also a reti...

Standard or advance timing light purchase suggestions
(Preview)
Hi all, If I'm investing in a timing light light is it best I buy an advancing one? Will probably use very rarely but Wasnt sure if I should still spend the extra for the advancing feature especially as it would seem to benefit a novice mechanic?

65 B Body fuseblock. Questions and rusted terminal repair.
(

(Preview)
Does anyone make replacement fuse contact terminals for the 60's style block? Mine are in tough shape. Rusted up pretty good, probably beyond redemption. No point in messing around with bad contacts at this point. The block is out now, so time to make it right. I think I have a 69 B Block that has very goo...

Wiring Question
(Preview)
Feel as though I should know this but, Ive got the original wiring harness installed in my Nova (mostly plugged in) and before connecting the wires to my alternator, I put an ohm meter between the battery lead and ground. It read 140 ohms. Was I wrong to expect an infinity reading?

If you are looking for correct, old spring type battery cables for your 60's GM. Here they are. These are pricey for sure, but are as close as you'll probably get to being correct for our cars. I bought a Positive, Negative and a ground strap kit for my 65. I hate ugly wiring. Especially ugly battery cabl...

Anyone run a CS130 alternator on a 60's SBC?
(Preview)
Just wondering if it's possible to run a CS type alternator on a 67 short water pump 327..without bracket modification? I'm looking at the CS130. I like the idea that the CS series has much better output at idle than the SI series alternators. If I can't do a CS, I'll run a 95 amp 12SI. Anyone done it? Chee...

What would be the common issue here? Just digging in right now. Lamps test fine. Tails, running and all signals work. Headlamp switch is brand new today. Ground, wiring, high beam switch or circuit breaker? Where is this breaker? Any ideas? Thanks, Mark
