Glad you got it fixed. Steve

Neil, here's the link to the write up I did and posted in the restoration section, in case it helps you at all. http://www.californiaspecial.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10184 Steve

I always connect the positive first and then the negative, same as when I install the battery cables. Since the charger won't be plugged in until after you connect the cables though, it doesn't really matter either way. Steve

Neil, both wires should have the same resistance for the ammeter to even have a chance to work, and the lower it is, the better. Wires, and the connections, build up corrosion after time that increases resistance. All wiring has resistance in it. The longer the length and the smaller the wire...

Happy Birthday Renee'! Hope we can all get together and go out for burgers and fries again soon. Steve

I'm late to the party, but Happy Birthday anyway. Steve

Kind of like a soldering iron. You use it for burning designs in wood. Steve

It mounts to the bumper itself, not the body. Steve

Happy birthday to both of you, and best wishes for the new year. Steve

Hope everyone had a great Christmas and has a wonderful new year. Steve

Yep, that left a mark!

My thoughts are, how much is your car and life worth. I don't skimp on suspension or brake parts. To me, my car and my life are worth an extra hundred or so. TRW and Moog are both excellent choices, and all I use. As for reusing parts, you need to inspect carefully. The rubber boots on the ball...

I bought it as a package deal with my '71 Boss 351. And I have a friend that had one in the 70's/80's. And they're just kind of cool. And you meet the nicest people with one. Steve

I can see it now! (Neil to Peggy) Here, hold my beer while I plug this in. :rofl: Sorry Neil, couldn't resist. Steve

Those do look good, and easier to find tires in 15" than 14". Steve

Rob, you should see the Tiger now! I have the entire interior out, carpet and all. I'm looking for Miata or S2000 seats so I can have something with built in headrests. Steve PS. Thanks once again for storing it during my short lived move to Seattle.

If by "critical" you mean me suggesting you should post pictures and info on the car condition, yep, guilty as charged. I was trying to help you with the sale. Would you send $24K to someone across the country if they didn't want to post pics or a description? Steve

Neil, I'll see what I can find for you on the tach, but Ford used a "two wire" tach, with one wire being power and the other supplying power for the coil (in the run position). I just need to see where the different connections were located. The down side of this kind of setup is, if your tach...

I remember seeing that picture before Marty. Hurts every time! Electricians are taught to stand to the side of a panel when engaging a breaker or disconnect in case of arc flash. Not a bad idea to stand to the side of a car when starting in case it moves. "Sparky"
