Junkyard 5.9 for my 72 Van
Long time no post.
I had to stop driving the van as the brake lights and then tail lights stopped working.
I did most if my testing a couple months back before my anemia got in the way. Taking procrit shots for anemia and just got the go ahead for a Kidney Transplant. Today was the first time I felt good enough to look into the van again. I have had to take Lyft to work the last couple months and am sick of it.
I have two "relays" on my firewall that are not labelled clearly on my wiring diagrams in two books as well as the online source so many have provided here on Abody's. I will post a picture below. Yes the wiring is a mess and I want to clean this up and replace the4 old crummy wires and connections when I replace the "relays". I think the "relay" the right is not functioning as no power goes past it. Any idea on part numbers or where to buy replacements?
Before the anemia stopped me I started disassembly on the engine stand and noted that whoever re ringed this thing had not read or listened to instructions. Most of the rings have the gaps in the same location. Ugh, so much for a quick and easy swap. I had no desire at this time to go this deep into this. Perhaps this is why the pistons were so filthy.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Mike
