Morning Guys……. This is exactly what I was looking for. My next question was going to be who makes good drums and you answered that before I asked !! I appreciate the responses. ���� Thx, Mike

Terry…… I had a similar problem this past summer with my ‘40 and got all the great advice as you have. Looked into each one and it came down to worn out wiring in the kidney cluster on the firewall engine compartment. Since I didn’t wish to tackle the complete rewire I elected to run a separate...

Morning……. Looking to replace the rear drums on my ‘40 and was wondering if it’s wish to use the old hubs with the new drums. I understand they are pressed into the drums !! Thx, Mike

Just to update…..I took out the glove box and radio speaker grill in order to get a clearer shot at light switch. I attached an alligator clip to a 25 foot wire used the other end to touch the black wire on switch. Bingo…..all lights came on ! So I now know I have a problem somewhere in the line...

I agree with the guys. I had a friend who went the auction route and remember something…….they could care less about the parts……their interest in is the money. End of that tune !

I’ve got to leave things alone for awhile. I’ve been obsessed with this and all my yard work has gone to hell. At least I’ve got stop lights now and I never drive at night so the taillights will have to wait. Thanks to everyone for the help. I printed everything up so I can refer to it at a...

I bought the same ones as Ken Alabama and they are great. If fact I think he’s the one that recommended them to me. I also pasted some tin foil with the shiny side up and I get good reflection now. I bought from Amazon also. Mike

Understand ! I don’t need anymore mess than what I already have. I’ll check along the harness going back. Thx

Jay…..if I can’t find that black wire in that bundled mess is it possible to run another wire off the light switch where the black wire originates ? Thx

I’ll check the parking lights this morning. The wires near the dimmer switch are a bundled up mess, but will check it out. Thx

Jay……when I turn on the headlights the dash lights also come on. The dimmer switch also works. Does that indicate there’s no problem at the switch ? Thx

Kartrae…….I’m looking into what you suggested. Jay…….I’m going to into our suggestions also. I just hate working on something that I’m not comfortable with ! Damn ! Thx all……Mike

Thx to all. I’ve been in contact with Tyree as I heard he makes a good harness. I did get the stop lights to work. Found a bad wire and bought a new switch so I can at least drive during the day. No taillights when I turn on the headlights though. Rich….. it is intimidating as hell when you...

Man oh man……looked at all the wiring from master cylinder to the rear of car and there are so many different connectors over the years I have no idea what’s what ! I want to try to run new wires from master cylinder but hard don’t know which wires I should connect to in the rear. What a mess !

I’m trying out all this stuff my father in law left me for checking stuff !

Coop thx. He rebuilt the distributor last year I think. I found one clothed wire that was bare at the rear end of frame. I also tried some 1054 bulbs and still nothing except the headlights come on. I’m thinking about running a couple new 14 gauge wires, as the ones I’ve got are spliced in...

PS - does someone make a good wire harness that runs to the taillights ? Thx

Thx guys. I had to go out of town for a couple days. A good buddy passed. I’ll be getting back into this now that I’m home. I’m not an electrical guy so this is new to me ! I’ll struggle through though. I sincerely appreciate all the comments and help and will look into everything mentioned and...

Okay thx I’ll check into it today. What I can say is that when I connected the two wires off the master cylinder there was a little spark and the alligator clip got hot as hell so I think there’s juice going to the brake switch !

Just went to the barn real quick and checked license plate light. Turned on the headlights and the license light “does not” come on. So does that mean I’m not grounded in the back or a bad wire connection somewhere ? I have to leave for the day but will check back later. Thx !
