Any out there have an old Stewart Warner manual or instructions that would show what sending unit I would need for my old 2-5/8 greenline tach. The tach is part number 813929. Its a pedistal mount style and probably used a remote style sending unit. Any one know what era the logo had the orange block an...

I'm trying to wire in a electric fan from a 88 firebird into a 65 fullsize. I know where the big red wire and the big black wire goes. What I need is where the tan/white wire goes as well as the green/white goes.One powers the relay the other is the ground switching wire.

I fixed my instrutment panel problem by installing another ground however I still have a draw that for the life of me I can't nail down. My battery was completely flat the other day. I charged it up and put my volt meter between the neg battery terminal and the neg battery cable - 12 volts! My cable actuall...

This problem started when we were on the road to Hamilton last Sunday. When I turn my headlights on my fuel gauge drops to 1/4 tank and my oil pressure and temp gauges quit working. Also, the turn signal indicators and high beam indicator glow. When I turn off the headlights everything returns to normal...

There's a company that makes GM overdrive transmission adaptors for the flatty 6 I have in my 58 Dodge. The current 2 speed is not my favorite. If I were to do the swap I want to keep my pushbuttons for shifting into gear. I remember a few years ago seeing a kit that converted the shifter from cable actuated...

This is a problem that has plaged me since I bought my Laurentian. It is now worse since I installed halogen headlights. When I turn the headlights on, they flicker. My volt guage fluctuates at the same rate of the flickering between about 13-14 volts. Now when I place the car into gear the system quits c...

I have most everything to add a power seat to my 67. It's a option that I've always wanted and I think I might just do it soon. Questions; I know that power seats in general were a "always on" feature not needing a key to operate. I'm wondering where the system gets fed from? My 67 has power window...

Can you still buy a kit to rebuild your alternator. I remember doing it twice, years ago on a couple of old GM's I owned. It was dead easy to do. The bearings (I think) are making a pretty good rattle. But the belt does look pretty sad. I'll try a new belt on it first with the proper tension, before commit...

I see Canadian Tire has a 1watt solar panel battery charger on sale this weekend. 70% off for a price of $7.99. I've been thinking of putting one of these on my Sea-Doo when I leave it at the cottage. I used to bring it back with me and hook it up to a battery maintainer. But I'd like to leave it up there for the s...

Anyone know where I can buy the Packard type 56/59 connectors used in most 60/70's GM wiring harness plugs? Again... I'm probably dreaming here, but preferably local. Not USA. In rebuilding my harness, I'd like to use new ones rather than try to re-use the originals. Will napa or a GM dealer have the...
