Have you verified that your car isn't just running cold? A thermostat stuck open or a missing thermostat could cause a low reading.

No reason to run the old style starter anymore unless you like the looks of it. The modern mini starters are better in every way.

I found this less expensive and better option.

I think it looks stupid.

The factory ones were well known for being inaccurate.

Get a new floor switch.

If Dan says they are junk, they are junk.

Mine too. I replaced the switch and it solved the problem.

If it's completely original, just have yours rebuilt.

Looks like your tail lights and reverse lights are on at the same time? I get a little bleed over from the tail light (center red part) into the white (reverse) but it isn't anything like that.

See if you have power at the sockets. Have you replaced the bulbs?

Did you try cleaning the contact points on the old ones? I would do that before looking for new ones.

One thing you need to watch for with these LEDs is how much light they provide at an angle. I just went through this on a 2006 Mustang last week. The customer had me install LED taillights a couple months ago. They looked great when viewed directly from behind but when viewed from an angle...

I thought you would come along and correct me. I'm glad you did. I only have a rudimentary understanding of how the system works. Why did they do it that way is my question.

Not exactly..... The gauges are not 12v. They are 5v in a 12v system. The IVR (Instrument Voltage Regulator) cycles the 12v to feed the fuel gauge an "average" of 5v. The fuel gauge feeds the other gauges. ....Or al least that's how I understand it.

Problem solved on the left turn indicator. I didn't fully tighten the ground screw next to the bulb and/or unplugging and re-plugging TS switch harness connector solved it.

I just pulled mine out, opened it up and cleaned the contacts. These are extremely basic, RedFish's suggestion is where you should start.

Thanks, that points me in a direction. I have not touched the TS connector. After 40+ years it could probably use some attention.

A few minor electrical questions (68 Barracuda Dash). So over the years my car has sat, allot. After I got it up on it's feet again I decided to touch up the electrical with a good cleaning. I have cleaned grounds, connectors, changed bulbs, replaced the headlight and dimmer switch...

You know.... That's something I had never thought of and it's a very good point.

Some good ideas here. Thanks everyone.

Do they have an HEI system that will make use of the original distributor body and give a stock look under the hood?

Well, maybe not "the most", I should have said, solid and reliable. This is what I am dealing with. I have the stock dual point distributor (68, 340) and want my coil mounted in the factory location. Given this, what would you do? I was thinking something like a Pertronix conversion with...

I would start be pulling the cable and cleaning it inside and out then lightly greasing it. If that doesn't do it, pull the speedo, and clean it. You can use compressed air in a can, I have also used spray electrical cleaner from RadioShack.

What 67Dart273 said.

What Dan will tell you is..... It's not how much light is coming out but where the light is going and how it's focused.

You should do a forum search. We have a member, Slantsixdan that is an automotive lighting engineer. As he says, most of these are junk. Often these products do not meet minimum safety requirements. More often, these cheep products, were are designed by people that don't know the first thing...

Did you check the fuse? Clean and check the connections under the hood?

No, the trays are the same. The battery doesn't fit because the battery you bought is too big.

Missing or incorrectly adjusted switch Bad bulbs
