If you want a waterproof boot for over the lamp socket, the distributor end of a spark plug wire will fit over it.

I’ve not heard of anyone having a problem with the taillight wiring this way. A split loom taped with electrical tape should be fine. My car just has the tape. The tire is way ahead of it. The tail light has a rubber cup behind it, in the fender well, that the wire passes through. Keeps out the gunk the tire throws up–so far, anyway.

The majority of gauges are installed like this…

So it’s definitely the speedo.  @toller has one that he is sending me an old one he has so I will try to replace it.  Can anyone give a hint of how to go about removing the old one without causing too much damage?  I’ve looked at it but can’t figure it out.  Below is a pic of what it looks like now.…[Read more]

If 16 lbs in front doesn’t do it, make triple sure you have a little toe-in. 1/8 inch is about right. 3/16 is OK too. 1/4 is a lil too much. If you have less than an eighth you might wander a bit on the highway. I like a half degree of negative camber as well in the front. Stock spec is 0, straight up and down, but a little camber does it no harm…[Read more]

Long-time no-post, fellas. Been busy at work & stuff. Today it was mid-50s so I got back after my fenders.

They’re starting to shape-up OK, I think.

Hi Ed,

I checked the path and it looks good.  I think it failed as a result of the beating the car took in the towing down here from PA.  I should have flat towed or shipped but it’s too late now to cry over spilled milk.

Make Posada the second night then!

That should do it.

When you check the cable, check the path from speedometer to hub. Look for kinks or sharp bends. Mine had one and I’m pretty sure that’s why it failed. I re-routed the new one more carefully and it’s been good since.

Thanks, Steve!

That ain’t even bad though. We gotta do it.

It’s 540 miles to La Posada Hotel in Winslow, AZ. If you’re in a hurry, that’s your first overnight stop. It’s worth the stop.
