Ignition woes

The big splice can be fixed by removing the cluster. just start at the black ammeter wire and untape the wrap and follow it down. I've forgotten "how many inches" but I'd guess 6? Maybe a bit more?

The first one of these that actually failed--and I fixed--was about 1971 or 72 in a friend's apartment parking lot in his 68 RR. The ammeter would jump and flutter like crazy. I new nothing about them, then, but had a 69 RR and had bought a factory service manual at the dealer. I had the dash harness pulled partway out and the cluster out, and my friend was beginning to wonder if his 68 would ever run again. "So did I!!!"

Since then I've been privy to maybe 6 or 8 that have failed. Failures are rare, but it DOES happen.
