The journey continues with this old 70s Aussie Ford Falcon. I'm starting to sort out the wiring and trying to figure out how everything works. I'm no expert just a bloke having a go and making mistakes along the way. www.instagram....
im in the same boat as you with the fuse panel, i accidently kicked mine with my boot getting in my wagon and like obliterated 3 of the terminals off it, the damn thing was really fragile, so i gotta look at getting a whole new fuse panel.
Hey Jas,,, your just behind my commenst The voltage regulator guy is Chris He also did my tacho conversion, calibrated speedo calibrated my new fuel sender and he will rebuild fuel senders for $120.00 will also completely rebuild the clock for $120.00 On the instruction sheet is his phon enumber,, a really nice guy,, As opposed to you I live about 45mins from him.
Theres a place near me in Newcastle called the gauge shop. They reconditioned my Escort RS2000 clusterfor $400. I was hoping my cluster would be ok. I think the added regulator would be a great idea. I'm yet to know how accurate they currently are
Hi Jas,,,In dash if you put in LED globes be aware they may not be happy with LED globes at the lights brake indicator etc,, Also DON'T put LED globe in the alternator dash light as its part of the charging system, Also worth while putting in a voltage regulator behind dash it taps into the green power wire to the fuel guage saves burning out your guages, Also if your going to run an electronic dizzy your tacho wont be happy you will need to get the tacho adjusted to suit and it will need to be powered easy to do,, I'm going to supacheap now to get 4 red for brake lights and 2 amber for indicators on rear ,,, Your doing well mate PS I'm with your son re Mr Trump,,, Go the donald,
Theres a place near me in Newcastle called the gauge shop. They reconditioned my Escort RS2000 clusterfor $400. I was hoping my cluster would be ok. I think the added regulator would be sweet. No idea how to do it. I forgot to het the tacho changed on the escort.
I read on an old forum post that when that dimmer switch dies it stays dull. You can bridge the terminals to make it brighter but i want to fix it properly 👍
I want a fg ute. Theres one that parks next to me at work. I'm to far down the rabbit hole to sell mine now. Its not worth much and its a risk buying another without issues
Ordered the dash gauge regulator last night asking with the special plug to the headlight switch, which I had no idea was available. Someone cut mine out when I was overseas, took the plug and switch. I did get a new switch but, didn't have the plug. I got the new lenses as well, they look great now. Does anyone know the Speedo cable length for the single rail box behind a Cleveland. Mine seems too long and has a loop in it. While fitting the resistor I'll try to replace the Speedo cable if required, currently either not plugged in properly or stuffed.
