The car was running, driving, inspected and on the road. It has been for the last 4 months. And the ammeter that is built into the gauge cluster has never moved since the day I got it. He has another volt meter gauge in a separate cluster under the radio, but that has never worked since day 1...

Koates, I will look at your suggestions today. There is about 90-95% original wiring in this car, but this car was swapped over to a chevy sbc. so will the ammeter be connected if there is a motor swap and a 12 volt conversion? So like I said, the po hacked into the original wiring when he...

I want to thank everyone for their help. Since I can still not figure this out and since the guy before hacked into the stock wiring and I think that is some of the problem, I think it is in my best interest and the cars (safest so it doesn't burn down) I am just going to get a 12 circuit...

I am about to try the light switch. I am going to disconnect it and tape off the bare ends and try it. The new ignition switch is hooked up the exact way the old was, which worked great until the headlight switch problem came into play. I do have a wiring diagram but I am unsure how to remove...

Can anyone explain what is needed electronically to get the car to start. I have 12volts coming to the battery post on the key switch, but as soon as I turn the key on the voltage drops to zero at the battery post on the key switch. and there no other voltage at the key switch. Could this be a...

So that neutral switch could be causing this issue? If I go off this diagram, that switch should be on the driver's side of the gauge cluster correct? and the diagram looks like it is fused?

I did find a fuse block on the passenger side of the speedo and the fuse looks ok, I am going to swap it out just to be safe. Other than that I have not seen anything that looks like a circuit breaker thou, even thou it all looks original under the dash

I will try that once I can get the car running again. Since my last post, now the car will do nothing. Turn the key and nothing. If I put a volt meter to the ignition switch, I have a constant 12 volts on one post until the key gets turned to the on position then it drops to zero- and all the...

I did notice that my negative battery terminal is extremely loose. I got a new that I am about to swap- I am hoping that fixes the problem. If not, I think that since I am powering up the relays from the running lights on the headlight switch that might be why it overloading and shutting...

Good Afternoon Everyone, I just want to say thank you for the vast amount of information that this site has to offer. Question #1: I have a 1950 Ford Custom Sedan that was converted over to 12 volt. The previous owner had regular trailer incandescent turn signals on the front. (It look...

Is this still available? if so how much shipped?

Do you have any turn signal housings? Thank you

Looking for a whole 51 grille for a 51 Ford custom sedan, do you have anything?
