Well, #7024 is running again, I installed the MSD distributor, 6A and tach adapter. I took the opportunity and I added a nice little offenhauser intake manifold I picked up on Ebay, I could hardly lift the old cast unit, that'll save some weght if nothing else. I also found out from anotehr DTBB discussion thread I have aftermarket big bore headers! So, I'm learning fast and things are heading in the right direction (
pun intended)However, there are a number of things that are still bugging progress to getting the car roadworthy enough to take down to DMV, most of them associated with the wiring. The only other challenge will be getting a NV smog certificate!
I'll go through and do the diagnostic stuff with a multimeter, but I'm hoping maybe someone can point me in the right direction for a few of them as I'm guessing that there are a number of weak points in the system, so maybe some of you have faced the same issues in the past and I could learn from that.
1. My turn signals don't work, although my hazard warning lights are fine?
2. My ammeter jumps/jitters from +75 to -75 constantly when the motor is running, is there a shunt or a cure for this?
3. My oil pressure gauge shows around 45 psi at idle, but I connected a manual gauge at the block oil pressure sender and it shows around 65 psi at idle. Is there any cure for the Veglia gauge to get it to read correctly, assuming my new manual gauge is correct?
4. Wipers don't function, I rebuilt the switch for now which was falling apart, but still nothing.
5. Headlights, don't raise or lower.
Any and all advice is welcome as always.
