Ok, we are going backwards. The new wiring harness for the cut out to terminal box and terminal box to dash arrived today. The black and yellow went from the cut out to the drivers side of the terminal box. The solid yellow wire went from the fuse on the starter to the pass side of the...

Good evening all. Had some time yesterday evening and some more tonight, so i decided to go back to basics. Removed the floor boards and began at the battery. Positive terminal (ground) clean and tight. I have a master switch between the battery and frame ground, checked the two connections...

Thanks for all the great suggestions. Family matters are taking over the weekend so the car will have to wait until Monday. I will go over the connections and grounds and report back the the verdict. Thanks for all the help Have a safe and happy weekend!@

Patrick if you look at the diagram in Bob C post that is how the car is wired. I do not understand your post. Do you wire it differently? Shew01 I am under the belief that your are correct. That is why this is so puzzling. How can the amp meter effect the charging of the battery? And if is...

Bob That is true. But there is also a yellow and black wire that comes from the amp meter to the same connection in the terminal box, and the black wire for the coil all connect together. I have check several times and the wiring is exactly how the enclosed diagram indicates. As sensitive as...

Sorry, Both the rebuilt and spare gens are original with nurex cut outs. I have had this car for going on 10 years now. As long as i have had it the amp meter always showed 8 to 10 amps charge. I never witnessed the meter dropping because the battery was charged. Even on a long tour i would...

Also i was showing voltage (7.4) at the gen and the terminal box

The generator was rebuilt two weeks ago. I was thinking along the same lines so i replaced my gen with my spare. Same results with either gen.

This is for all the electrical guru's out there. Sorry this is going to be long. I have read all the threads about the junk amp meters being sold by the venders, and i agree they are of poor quality. But that is not exactly what this post is about. Yes my amp meter quit working yesterday...

Its a bright sunny day here in western Pa. Practicing social distancing I am killing two birds with one stone. First i am getting the A ready for the green light that will allow our club to begin touring again, and second i am passing the time working on the car. Did all the usual preseason...

Well the verdict is in! We pulled the rear end today, removing the shackles using the spring spreader. The rear end / torque tube assembly moved back and down. The universal joint remained attached to the trans. Now in order to explain what happened let me tell you how the universal joint...

jw I have the spedo off the drive shaft and used the starter to turn over the engine in all gears 1,st 2nd 3rd and rev. at no time did the spedo gear turn but the ujoint will turn forward and backwards with the correct gear used. We are planning to pull the entire rear end on Thursday...

Hello again Sorry for not responding but I have been out of town for a couple days. After reading all your comments and having a fresh mind set I went over to the car again this morning. First thing I did was to pull on both axel's to see if they were broke, neither one cam out. Next I...

Joe K If the two other gears are engaged even though the shift forks indicate the trans is in neutral wouldn't the car stall when the clutch is released? Also there was not bang or noise when he shifted from reverse to first. Remember he backed the car out of the garage, shifted gears and...

Purdy, when that happened to you do you check to see if the trans was turning? My though is if the rivets all were stripped the friction material would not connect with the pressure plate. I did not check to see if the Speedo was turning. Good thought!
