STICKY:
1965 CP B Body wiring diagram,
(Preview)
I'm thinking the Electrical section is kind of light on reference material, so I'll try to add what I can. wouldn't it be nice to have something like this over on CT? I can only image the amount of work this took. Anyone know how you produce and store this kind of PDF type document to link to? Kind of wonky, s...

STICKY:
1965/66 B body Fuseblock Detail
(Preview)
Even with a dead simple fuseblock like the 65-66 B body, it can be sometimes a little perplexing as to how and what the fuses actually feed, the power paths, and how they are actually fed. You can't really see what's going on unless you have the block off and can see the back. While the 65-66 chassis manual...

65-68? Column signal switch and harness diagram.

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...

Testing out a 2 speed wiper motor?
(Preview)
I have a couple of wiper motors that I am testing out. I know one is a 2 speed and I thought the other was a single although they look the same. The 2 speed worked great in the car. Question is how do I test for the second speed. Have gotten them to work as a single but not sure on what prongs to be touching to g...

Voltmeter/charger dash trinket
(

(Preview)
I wanted to see my charging state on the 65 as I didn't install a voltmeter. I know Carl has done this before, and it's a good solution that covers both needs in a elegant way. The cigarette lighter is kind of redundant anyways. No idea on the parasitic drain it might put on the battery, but I'm assuming it'...

Electrical gurus... Any thoughts on this phantom signal light issue? (not mine)
(Preview)
From a ongoing post on ChevyTalk, On my bone stock 65 2dr HT. For some reason, the bulb stays on (both filaments of the 1157 bulb are lit) when the car is off and the light switch is off. Replaced the bulb and it did function for a little bit (including the blinking bulb). I did have to jiggle the bulb around i...

8 Volt System??
(Preview)
I was helping a friend get the collection of cars, trucks, tractors and whatever else ready for winter. Lifted the battery cover on a ?49 or ?50 Chev 1 ton to find this: I don?t recall ever even hearing of an 8 Volt system before. Is this a factory system?, or an after market cheater set-up to add a little...

Is there a thermal reset that would cause odd starting problem?

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

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.

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

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? Also I dont currently have an MSD ignition but may conside...

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...

A friend of mine is having all kinds of wiring issues with his Porsche 914. While I might regret this, I offered to have a look at it once we get the all clear from this virus. While I have found companies that offer rebuild harnesses for his car, I also looked at a Painless kit but they want you to convert to F...
