Recently, I added a late model power antenna to my 66 GP. I wanted to keep my stock switch on the dash, and this antenna was wired different than a 66 antenna is.

What happened was that I accidentally shorted the 12v side of the glove box switch to the dash, and the lights went out. The rear turn signals do work as does the cigarette lighter. There is n...

The original tach in my 75 Esprit was very lazy and wouldn't rev past about 1700 rpm. I bought a new reproduction from OER and it behaves exactly the same way.
