thanks Dan ill check that out.

I don't mind adjusting and dialing in a carb I originally was looking at quick fuel but got the edelbrock when I found out that so many guys were running them and they cost less .

time to get another carb I have a edelbrock 600 cfm that I put on another car and im wanting to get a better performance carb any way . I have done some looking around and Holley and quick fuel look like the best performance carbs im not sure what to get so I wanted to see what you guys have.

Thanks I took a good look at every thing those wires are to the windshield wiper switch they had been cut. Thank you for the help ill get that hooked up and that's it for electrical.

yeah mine is also tan in the trunk... I was talking about the fuel gauge and forgot to mention it in that last post theres 3 studs on the back of the fuel gauge I just need to see which wires go to which stud.

The last thing I need to do is hook up the gas gauge but im not sure which wires go where there looks to be two black wires and two blue wires ones a dark blue the others a light blue so if any one has a picture of how that goes I would really appreciate it . or I could always use that as an excuse to go mess with that green machine in my grand dads garage .

got it solved! I cleaned all the grounds replaced a few more fuses and got new flash canisters tried it and the turn signals and brake lights are working great! the last thing to do is hook up the gas gauge but im not sure which wires go where so if any one has a picture of how that goes I would really appreciate it. And thank you all for the tons of help and advice I couldn't have done it with out you guys.

dash lights are now faintly working I turned that headlight switch stem but only a few are working and there all new so got to check that out. what I meant is nothing works when the headlights are off no brake lights or turn signals. so really the turn signals and brake lights not working with out the headlights on are the last big problems sorry for any confusion. im going to check those grounds and see what changes.

Thank you that really means allot coming from guys that I look up to one question every thing except the turn signals and dash lights work but only when the headlights are on. most likely a ground the circuit board is brand new and is for the idiot lights so are the bulbs and the hazard light flashers and turn signal flasher and the brake switch.

thank you lostnfound for the wiring diagram it was a big help

mine is the 7 terminal as well thought is was the eight so ill get that head light switch back ... great idea using the CLR defiantly need do that on those front side marker lights.

The four ways worked I just replaced the tail light bulbs the hazard switch was stuck (the stem just got stuck) so they were flashing away. also the front side marker lights in the lower fender weren't working but the rear ones were so that's most likely a ground problem so need to find that. I replaced a few fuses the ones for the gauges, the little junior fuse, the tail light fuse... no change so im going to take the headlight switch back since they said I could return it with in 90 days if it went bad.

okay got a few things accomplished got new headlights cleaned the grounds really really good and got a new headlight switch... and guess what almost every thing worked the running lights, headlights, brake lights all worked but no gauge lights or turn signals didn't get to test back up lights so not sure on them the front side marker lights worked but no turn signals in the front. the odd thing was that I leave the battery unhooked at night and I went to hook it back up the next day nothing worked rechecked the fuses and the same thing as before 12v but not a things working . How hard is it to replace the turn signal switch ? ?

nope no change in the headlights I got it grounded just like the factory. but the emergency brake warning light works I did some more testing at the fuse block no flashing voltage when the turn signals are on and when you put on the brakes you get 12v at the fuse that has stop on the left side also replaced the tail light bulbs and headlights they were old any way. also the turn signal indicator lights in the gauges aren't working when you put on the turn signal and the front turn signals/side marker lights aren't working.

sweet ill get that ground hooked up might solve my headlights not working.

the bulkhead connecter is the big one that plugs into the gauge cluster if so yes its hooked up.the headlight switch is also hooked up but someone cut the ground wire in my assembly manual it shows it being grounded to the cluster... could it be run through the fire wall and grounded to the frame? or does it have to be there?

okay finally got to hook up my tester and recheck my fuses I was touching the fuse not the tab so that's why there was no reading so I then tried disconnecting the back harness in the trunk and got 12v when I put my tester end in side ways touching the two lower right side tabs but no others had power and when I got a friend to put on the brakes and had no power to any of the other tabs. The single ground in the trunk is clean but some one used a good bit of bulb grease in the tail light sockets that could be a issue there... could you used electrical cleaner to get that stuff out?

great I love getting stuff from Jegs that's some thing I will defiantly be adding to my must get list.

thanks ill defiantly take a look and hopefully get it figured out.

where does the power to the tail lights and turn signals come from?

yes I read another post talking about how theres rubber between separating the body and motor from the frame its just crazy ... where did you get your braided line i will defiantly be doing this to both my cars.

I put the test light on the end of that black wire and it lit up the wiring harness is brand new and i have not crossed any thing on the battery so it should be good. I did replace a few of the fuses on the electrical box could that be a problem?

where is the location of the fusible link or links my car is a 72.

got the car to run using the key it was the neutral safety switch now im trying to get every thing else to work now... no brake lights, tail lights, backup lights, headlights nothing as if we weren't getting power to them. Im hooking up the gauges witch have a new circuit board and the headlight switch worked less than a year ago. I put on the brakes and pulled the taillight bulb to see if were just bad bulbs and got no reading on my tester from the tail light socket. also poked around on the fuse block just touching the ends of the fuses and nothing there either and in advance thank you all for the help

another question the headlights, tail lights, turn signals, backup lights, side marker lights nothing is working. The gauges have a brand new circuit board and the headlight switch worked before the circuit board was replaced. I took my tester and put it in the taillight socket with the brakes on... nothing. any one had problems like this ... its almost like nothings getting any power or bad grounds and are there any color diagrams for the under dash and body wiring im not seeing every thing in my assembly manual?
