Dash Lights, ON when pushed in, OFF when pulled out

Question for you. Can you disconnect the head and remove it from the dash? Are you willing to send it somewhere to have it fixed, or looking to have it repaired locally nearby? There are probably lots of barners here that can help you do it yourself or fix it for you.

The hose goes through a hole in the cowl beside the windshield post.

My take: Dwell angle is defined as the amount of time the contact breaker points are closed (current flowing through the primary ignition circuit) and it is measured in degrees of distributor shaft rotation. Dwell Percentage (or Dwell Time) is the amount of time the points are closed (time to...

Rest in peace Ol 'Ron, So sorry to know you are not with us anymore. Bless you Ruth for keeping us updated.

The original poster asked: Why does polarity matter to some Volt meters/testers? Answer: Because that is how some of them are designed. I believe specifically the probe he was using. Also, positive voltage is not the same as negative voltage. 34Fordy stated: My Fluke 78 meter reads DC...

Please don't feel bad about asking questions, that's how we learn. Yes, very simply put, flow is flow. We don't care if river water flows from mountain to ocean or ocean to mountain, it's still just flow. The problem is that some instruments have been designed to measure the flow in one...

Also, Meters and Probes come in all kinds of varieties and capabilities. Most modern "Multi-meters" have internal circuitry designed to work on either positive or negative polarity. Old Vacuum tube meters (VTVM) required you to physically turn a switch to change the probe polarity. It all...

Unfortunately, Volts are not Volts. If you reverse the polarity, you go from Positive 6.3 volts to negative 6.3 volts. This causes the current to flow in the opposite direction. (Positive current flow to negative current flow). Digital circuitry does not like that.

Without knowing what probe you have, I'll guess: Your probe is polarity sensitive, and since you said it has a digital display, when polarity is reversed it stays blank. Since it is single wire, there is no internal "switch" to allow the solid-state electronics to work on reverse polarity.

Looking at the photo it appears your bumper is too straight, should have more curve in it. As said above, bolt brackets to body first then bolt bumper to brackets.

Quote from Goodyear website: The straight-side tire (1901) In 1901, Goodyear created the first straight-side tire. The major innovation in this new tire design was the addition of a braided piano wire to the tire's bead. The wire was cured into the bead, which held the tire onto the rim with a...
