    1968 Complete Electrical Failure

    Success! I don't know if it's complete success yet but at least it's a start. Who knows what will happen when I put the dash back together. Steve, I think I did what you recommended but in my own funky way. I ran a wire from the battery directly to the main hot terminal on the ignition...

    1968 Complete Electrical Failure

    It keeps getting more and more interesting. I now have power to all the fuses, except the center one for the dash lights. But as soon as I plug in anything I lose all the power to all the fuses. For example, as soon as I plug in the wiper switch connector I get zero volts to all fuses...

    1968 Complete Electrical Failure

    Steve, I didn't know there was a main line going to the fuse block. I thought they were individual lines. I'll pull the block tonight. Fun, fun, fun. Did I say cheap? Tomorrow it may be real cheap!

    1968 Complete Electrical Failure

    Nothing works. The bottom fuse socket is hot and the socket above that one is hot, (I learned that the hard way) but they are not part of the accessory circuit, and since they are hot I figured the flashers would work since one of them is the flasher circuit, but no, they don't even work...

    1968 Complete Electrical Failure

    Ok, that wasn't the problem. I must have moved something or touched something and now everything is dead again, even with that circuit breaker unhooded. Damn, this is fun!!! Anyone want to buy a car.......cheap?

    1968 All new book updates posted on saac ?

    We also have a registry on this site. So the question becomes whether the official registry should be the one that can be accessed and updated real-time, or the one that is updated and accessible every 10 years?

    1968 Complete Electrical Failure

    Just came in from the garage. Pulled the ignition switch and jumpered from the main power terminal to the accessory terminal. Dead short to ground. Great, that lead only goes to a hundred different items! With the jumper in place I removed all the fuses and still had a short. I then...

    . Paul M. Newitt has a new article in the Shelby American magazine.

    Is that a request or a demand? I agree that Paul bashing is not healthy for the site, but I assume your mother also taught you about "please" and "thank you".

    1968 Complete Electrical Failure

    Yesterday I was at a stop light, waiting for it to turn green, and the car just died. I have nothing. No lights, flashers, horn, gauges, starter. Absolutely nothing. The battery is good because it will turn over the starter when jumped across the solenoid. I have power to the ignition...

    . Paul M. Newitt has a new article in the Shelby American magazine.

    Dave, You know that many of the members here are quite upset with Paul for the numerous delays in publishing his book so do you think they will be thrilled to hear about the wonderful article he spent time away from his book to post on the SAAC site? Then we find out that the article can only...

    Gas Mileage: Who's CS drinks fuel the quickest/slowest?

    Resurrecting an old thread. My aqua car is FINALLY back on the road after its engine and transmission rebuild. I've taken a couple highway trips so far and I am amazed at the fuel mileage. In fact, I keep double checking it to make sure it's correct. Here are the general engine and...
