Oh, that's terrible. My tag cost me $35.25, came with a temp til the real thing shows up in the mail, and is good until 2050. That registration will probably outlast me and the truck both.
It was last week, but after a starter and flex plate replacement, after sitting 4 years, it fired right up. Took it for a ride around the farm field, then around the country block, man it was sweet to drive this old beast around again.
Hahahaha Yes! I need a rollback.
Just jealous, that's all.
I do need a flexplate, a starter, and a bracket.
But I need the broken starter bolt out first.
Thanks, though
I didn't take it out, but I unbolted it from the dash and firewall. And put a
new electrical part of the ignition switch in it, so I really angered it. I unhooked
the shift linkage from the column, moved the shifter around, ran the yoke
on the trans through the gears, and hooked everything...
Went to the Zone, picked up the alternator, had to adapt it a little
but it works, 29.3 volts at the positive terminal. What more can I ask
for, you say? My brother in law has been busy patching the holes
left over from taking the red light off the roof,:naner::naner::naner: this truck is really...
So I got the truck to start today, turns out that I really am my own worst enemy.
When I did the Doghead relay, seems that the crimp on terminals I used on the
control side of the wiring, (the small wires), were incorrectly crimped and were
making intermittent connections. Strange, because it...
Tim, thanks for the encouragement. I've had 2 close friends tell me to
convert it to 12v, but I really hate to do that. I see the point, but I think
that the issues I have had so far are 12v Chevy problems, not the alternator
though. I sure wish I had a known good one close to me to do a...
After checking some fusible links, I repaired one, found a burnt wire.
Repaired the burnt wire and discovered that the alternator that I had
rebuilt (Gen 2) wasn't isolated ground cause it made fireworks when
I hooked up the battery cables. Luckily Gen 1 hasn't been messed with,
after swapping...
I have a Power Probe I have been using to check stuff with since
it shows 12v or 24v or ground. But I haven't checked the fusible links
there. I haven't checked any of them because I'm not sure how to, unless
I cut them out.
Well 2 weeks later and I have managed to completely piss it off.
After figuring out there's no signal to the starter,
no signal to the relay under the dash, (the doghead relay), I have
printed off the diagram from the sticky and will be replacing the
electrical part of the ignition switch...
