Quite the collection you got going there. I am envious of the posts where you are working in the driveway in the middle of "winter". Although I suppose that summer is quite "toasty". |

Re: #3 The Sickness Continues
Some work, bad weather, and relaxing got in the way of more progress this weekend but I did fix my dome light by replacing it. Didnt know I had one extra. Also installed new valve cover gaskets as the old ones were leaking. Used Fel-Pro rubber and got rid of the big hold downs. Cleaned the valve covers and used some 1/4''-20 bolts....also pulled out my horn buttons. I'm going with the fancy one as it fits the steering wheel better. The wheel I installed is 1/2'' in diameter larger than the previous wheel. Here are some pics.....

Re: #3 The Sickness Continues
Just for fun I painted my fender emblems; hoefully they match the tastefully dilapidated look of the truck. Cleaning up some wiring and doing my dizzy swap, too.

Re: #3 The Sickness Continues
OK, finished my dizzy swap. I still need to re-do some wiring and fire it up. It fit no problem; dont know why others have issues. I also have an Accel coil on top which is huge and it clears the firewall by 1/4''.
Pulled out my plug wires that came on the 454 in the 'burb.....the pics speak for themselves.

Re: #3 The Sickness Continues
Didn't get it fired. Had no spark and solved that problem. Now it's just a timing issue and I ran out of steam. I need to pull the cap and get everything lined up and I believe it will fire up with no problem.

Re: #3 The Sickness Continues
Timing was off some so I moved the dizzy after setting TDC on #1. Fired up but it needed advance and I was against the firewall so I pulled it back out and moved it one tooth to center my dizzy throw.
How the hell do you put in the horn button???

Re: #3 The Sickness Continues
Repeat of my last question: How do you install the horn button? I greased mine up but it keeps popping out!
Played around today and painted my ms/cyl and made a cover for my shifter base. Drove around the 'hood pumping the brake as it does not have enough pedal. It's the last thing to be done so I can drive this truck.

Re: #3 The Sickness Continues
Well, this will be worth a 100 views and no replies
![]() Drove to a cruise last nite just to go somewhere and ran into 2 Board members, Rob and Erock. Nice seeing you guys. Finally fixed my turn signals after tearing the stuff apart for the 3rd time. The wiring terminates in a block that fits into the turn signal switch assembly. Mine aparently loosened up over time. I figured this out by taking off the steering wheel and staring at the switch while clicking it back and forth. It caused my left turn signals not to operate unless I held down on the lever. (See the pic of a spare switch with the two parts.) I fixed it by slightly bending the small brass leaves that make contact with one another. Simple!! I tore apart a spare column and used the pieces to eliminate my column shifter and put on some parts with original fawn and patina. Finally figured out how to get the horn button in too.

Re: #3 The Sickness Continues
did you get the horn button figured out?
I had the same problem with the the turn signals on the '66 it's nice when you can tear something apart and fix it without having to buy anything ![]()

Re: #3 The Sickness Continues
Thanx bubba! I hate the turn signal stuff, but I figured if it broke or was too messed up I could get a new one ordered. I did learn how they work, too.

Re: #3 The Sickness Continues
I adapted my 64 to a 77 tilt column and spent days with a wiring diagram adapting the old to the new . But I have turn signals and hazard lights that work now!!
I will be passing through Yuma soon to help my In-laws.-Wish Mesa was closer and I had more time, I would love to check out the Dry Desert wrecking yards and meet some of the Arizona members

I wont be in Yuma till the following Tuesday I went to "Moonlight in the Oasis" show in Yuma a few years ago and was bummed to find out that they moved it up to early March and I would miss it this time.

I used to laugh at my In-laws yearly migration but as I get older, being warm all winter is looking better than snow and freezing my butt off . ![]() Thanks for the invite!!
