    Brights pop fuse

    Rick, you're wasting your time.. You can't see what's going on here???? Here, I'll help you.. Some people just like to argue.. And usually they're the ones that know the least about the subject being discussed..

    Brights pop fuse

    Listen Dieslie212, none of this argument is of your doing.. It's obvious you bought that harness in good faith.. Now you have statements from two individuals who just happen to be experts in their field. Both have stated fuses have no place in the headlight circuit. This may not be the help...

    Replacement Cab

    I live in Elkhart, Texas. A little town of 1300 people in East Texas. Vehicles here don't rust and square bodies abound here. There are at least 4 "non-runners" that I know of, probably a lot more on the back roads. I suggest you quit trying to find just a cab and go for a more complete truck...

    Brights pop fuse

    Why do I keep being dragged back into these senseless debates.. Rick pretty much covered the hazards of having the headlights controlled by a fuse.. You bet I get "worked up" when lives (particularly when it could be mine) are at stake. @bloodhound, I'm telling you this to your face.. The OP...

    Busted Alternator Bolt

    Well, Rob, I know how much trouble, we'd be in, and it'd be fed trouble.. If you want some of it, you'll have to come get it..

    Brights pop fuse

    No, you don't have it figured out, and NO they're not working right.. Go back, read, and study my first post and the post made by Ricko1966.. I'll say this one more time.. IF you have the headlights on any fuse at all, regardless if it blows or not, you have wired them wrong.. If the harness is...

    Brights pop fuse

    Let's back up to the beginning.. Headlights are not fed through a fuse.. The switch contains a circuit breaker.. The only fuse would be the fusible link on the main power distribution wire feeding the headlight switch and several other circuits and devices.. If you have the headlights on a fuse...

    This guy's stuff ain't brandy --- it's East Texas 'shine.... Puts it up by the quart, in a Mason jar...

    Busted Alternator Bolt

    Rob, You do realize I was joking about you making house calls.. But if you're intent on coming to Texas, I can hook you up with a guy that makes his own booze.. Black berries ready for pickin' and mayhaws will be ripe next month.. His stuff made from those berries...

    Busted Alternator Bolt

    Yeah, but does that company offer us forum members a discount?? That's what "triggered" my comment.. As for your road trip to Texas -- Forget about bringing any tools.. Between the 3 of us, we got plenty.. Can't you sweet talk some forum member to fill in for you.. How hard is it to run herd...

    head light switch not releasing with button

    Some of those buttons can be pesky.. Hold the button in and push and pull the knob.. It will eventually release..

    I burnt it up didn't I? Take a look HEI got wet.

    Remove the rotor check the bottom for "tracks". The high voltage may have found a "shortcut" and burned a track through some leftover moisture.. I echo what squareroot said.. Why did you take a torch to it????? In any event, replace the module and pickup coil. Like a cat, neither of these...

    Valve Spring Retainers for 305

    Make sure you're installing them correctly. If those keepers are too big, they're probably for a BBC. or another make. All SBC valve keepers (the part in your picture) are the same.. The spring retainers (the part that fits on top of the spring are engine specific according to spring size.. Get...

    87 blower motor

    Several people have already told you where it goes, but I'll chime in one more time before I have to leave here and sort out the wires on my stereo.. Wallace, it plugs onto the little spade connector on the blower motor.. Do you not recognize the blower motor???
