    Enumclaw C10 Show

    @Soundmound, Man, I'll tell you! What a show. Thanks so much for all the great photos! I sure wish somebody would put on a show in my, "two horse burg" town. We used to have all that. Shows, cruise-in's, swap meets, all of it. And slowly one by one it all dried up, and over just a few years...

    Do you need a new windshield washer motor

    Here are some sources of new wiper motors that I've found. Of course these aren't in any way all there are, there are motors from other after market sources but these will get you started. Also, check with these sites for current prices. Eckler's '73-'78 wiper motor/pump p/n 61-285655 $67.00...

    @Matt69olds, Would you know where I could find terminal end boots for a 3/8" nut? I emphasize the "nut" because I found in searching for the boots they measure the ends in different ways and I tried to call them what they were calling them and that led nowhere, to cover those nuts on the back...

    Tired of that worn out windshield washer?

    I recently had to replace the cap on the bottle. I found it on line. I had seen it once before at Advance Auto Parts but they don't carry it anymore so I had to get it on line. The little filter at the end of the hose down inside the bottle, I found that from time to time it would stop up...

    turn signal only on one side

    I just ordered a new (to me) lock plate to go along with my new (actually) lock ring. After looking for two days for a lock plate for prices all over the road everything from $35 to $99 I just kept working the sites. You know when you are on Ebay looking at a thing, down near the bottom will...

    turn signal only on one side

    Well, I drove my truck just a little while ago and lo' and behold my turn signals click off now after I make a turn! Now, that may not sound like such a big deal unless you've seen my pics on rebuilding my whole steering column just to discover my signals wouldn't click off after a turn. I...

    turn signal only on one side

    I fixed my turn signals today. And the choice I made was to use the new turn signal lever part with the new contact spring loaded plates on it, and replaced the old one. And I still haven't figured out why my turn signal cancelling thing won't turn my signal off after a turn. And I hate...

    turn signal only on one side

    The one thing I will look at is whether or not this new plug will join with mine. It might. But I think if it has these two extra wires, it may not, it may be to long. I'll see. It's like 10:52 pm and I worked on my son's Nissan for three hours this afternoon and I will attack this truck...

    @Matt69olds, Thanks loads! Talking about those special tools to install/remove the terminal ends in the connectors, I need to buy the whole set. The terminal ends in the plugs in my '74 are these weird hooked looking things inside the plug. It's impossible to get the end out unless you have...

    turn signal only on one side

    @Turbo4whl Huh. I think what I might try and do first, no harm in tryin' is take a rounded punch and see if I can gently punch those nubs out a bit and see if that solves the problem of lack of contact. Yeah, yeah, "Then if you're going to fix it why did you waste the money on a new switch?"...

    Turn signal.

    @dboydb, Really??! Man, that's weird! What was happening? The two elements together was causing somekind of a short when you turned the headlights on?? And it caused them to blink?? That's even more weird!

    Turn signal.

    @ashadow1, Yeah, all those checks sound good but that doesn't explain why his instrument lights blink when @ashadow1 steps on the brake? Wait a minute, I must have read that wrong or something. Okay, I read it again, they blink when he turns the left signal on. Okay, all those wires in the...

    turn signal only on one side

    My new turn signal switch came in. An actual AC Delco no less! turn signal switch assembly. @Turbo4whl All the wiring is just like mine except for these two wires. And they have these contacts on the back of the switch. Do you know what they go to? I'm sure they are for some other year...

    turn signal only on one side

    @TJ1978, I had to laugh about that. While I was rebuilding my truck I didn't have turn signals, all that was out of the truck as the interior was gutted. I had to use hand signals. Now, I took drivers ed. way back in 1965 and back then drivers ed. was like a regular class you signed up for...

    Tired of that worn out windshield washer?

    All you guys are correct. That is the reason why I said to make sure the pump has one hose that sucks fluid and the other one pumps to the windshield. I guess that would mean what I didn't say was that the later years do not have a pump outside the bottle. And yes, all the ones after those...

    turn signal only on one side

    @Turbo4whl, Now don't get mad at me I'm just trying to understand what you are referring to, in the pic of the Caddie, are the cornering lights those that are above the bumper on the corner there that look like what would be "side marker" lights, but they are actually a light that comes on when...

    turn signal only on one side

    @75gmck25, Well, you know what that sounds like don't you? A Tucker!! It was designed with a headlight in the middle of the grill that was supposed to turn a corner and was supposed to put extra light in that direction. Well, from the documentary I watched said that it was to hard and...

    Tired of that worn out windshield washer?

    After looking at the insides of the factory washer I thought I had a better idea. I took the factory pump out, it's easy and comes right out off the motor assembly. Take the cover off and disengage the pump assembly. I cut a piece of thin aluminum sheet and cut it out the shape of the cover...

    Delay Wiper Module

    The factory maintenance book indicates the reset circuit is in the wiper motor. So if your wipers won't go all the way down when you turn them off it's in the wiper motor circuitry inside. I have the same problem when I turn mine off. And like a dummy I get ready to turn the wipers off and...

    Welcome from Poland!

    @mibars, Man, welcome to the site!!! It looks to me that you've found a good vehicle. Where in the world did you find it?? In Poland no less! And yes, registering it as a "historic vehicle" does present some drawbacks. I know about that sort of thin in that real old houses here in the U.S...

    swapping 1990 grill with 2 side by side headlights to 1985 with 2 stacked headlight per side. Lots of questions?

    @Big Ray, Yeah, I didn't think about a relay. When I was rebuilding my '74 I wanted to do the same thing to confuse people as to what year truck they were looking at, ha, ha, but for the more obvious reason to have more light hit the road. Just think, when I first bought the truck in '81 it...

    @Matt69olds, Okay! That does make sense. I don't know if my gauge has a "fuse", but as I discovered watching a video was the guy was attaching the other wire, not the alt. wire, but the other wire to 12v. And in my situation it is the same as what you were saying that the 12v is coming...

    turn signal only on one side

    @Turbo4whl, Ah yes, I know that for which you speak. My Charger had them. They were up at the top of the fender near the edge of the hood and when you turned your turn signal on those little lights would blink. Some GM's had them like up on a little post of sorts. Hey, I'm having enough...

    @jwgreen, Did you ever hook up your alt. light? Do you have a one wire alternator or a three wire alternator. I just hooked up the light for mine, but I don't have a printed circuit in my truck anymore everything is hard wired. For one thing if you have a three wire alt. it's the #16 brown...

    @Turbo4whl, What's a "cornering light"?
