    HELP!!!! My tach is reading too high

    The reluctor is a gear inside distributor cap, has 8 teeth, one for every cylinder. It spins and once it lines up with the Coil, it causes the magnetic pick up coil to send signal to ECU box. Check if the spacing is correct.

    Tail Lights Not Turning on

    Clean the sockets to ensure you have a clean ground is your first step. If all is well, there's a bulk connector in the trunk, find which wire is which and check for voltage (test light). You can also check if you have 12volt constant in the socket when your driving lights are on, if you do, its...

    Fuse box mounting locations

    You can mount where ever your heart desires, just make sure the wiring is long enough for the back end, or you can always butt splice to ensure proper length.

    Should there be a grounding strap from the engine to the body?

    No, it's all bonded from the battery to the engine from engine to body, nothing wrong with adding a ground strap.

    Dome Light's Dim(On) With Door Closed

    The dome lights should have constant 12v going to them, the door jam switch is a spring switch, that operates ground (open door closes the ground contact thus lighting up the dom light, closed door opens the ground contacts, thus kills power). check to see if its your ground, you shouldn't have...

    dash wiring harness 69 barracuda where to buy

    You can add a glass fuse on your fuse block, tap in from your ignition 12v line to power up the fuse and run another line out the other end of the fuse to power up your AC. That's what I did for a buddy of mine on his chevelle, he had to buy the ac controls and the whole chabang, works great!

The negative side will go to the frame, the positive side will be your 12 volt source. Make sure you identify which one is your light bulb pin. Since...
