    Help with brake lights and wipers '72 Duster

    Here's the pics I promised. As I said the switch bracket goes in a SLOT not a hole. It is the slot above your bracket as shown in your pic. I have the switch & bracket if you'd rather not have to makeup parts to fit.

    Help with brake lights and wipers '72 Duster

    Brake wires are almost always pink and white. It's not a hole or holes that the switch mounts in. It's a long slide slot to adjust the switch. The switch has one bolt and a tab at the end that also goes into the slot. I'll post pics tomorrow. The quickest way to test the ground on the wiper...

    TURN SIGNALS NOT WORKING

    The turn signal switch has contacts to isolate the brake light function from the turn signal. It basically turns off the brake light on the side that you are activating the turn signal. Usually a problem like you describe is turn signal switch contact related

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

    My Dad had a 90's Ford truck that burnt out three heater cores (VERY hard and expensive install) due to electrolosis grounding through the coolant.

    Car Quits At Speed :( stressed

    X3 on fuel delivery. Vapor locked fuel line? Steel line too close to engine block or exhaust pipe? It will "boil" the fuel into vapor. The real time to diagnose is exactly when it stops. Immediately pull the air cleaner and pull back on the carb linkage and see if fuel "squirts" into the carb...

    Instrument cluster question.

    I am holding it in my hands now and what it looks like to me is a round wheel with slots cut in it...do you need a special tool for this ? I use a standard screwdriver and a hammer.

    Instrument cluster question.

    The headlight switch is a PITA if you don't know the trick. There is a small release button on the back that you push in to allow the entire shaft to pull out of the switch housing. Then you can remove the front nut that holds the switch housing to the dash. The wiper switch is usually just...

    Electrical problem at steering column

    I pull a lot of wiring harnesses and I see that often, both in the column and in the firewall connector. Something puts a heavy load on the power supply feed. It can be a number of things.

It's not original...
