  1. Had the booster and master cylinder replaced on my 72 while it was in the shop. Now the brake light on the dash is on and I have no brake lights when I hit the pedal. I was told by someone else that my parking brake wire was hanging under the car. Would that be my issue? The bulbs are good I know because I have replaced them both and the running lights are working. If the parking brake wire was not plugged up would that be the reason I don’t have brake lights when driving, or is there something else I should be looking for? Seems like every time I let someone else work on my car it comes back with more issues. Any suggestions on what to look for or how to fix it? Thanks folks.
  2. Hello all, Due to an unfortunate series of events (including the death of my best-friend of 37 years), my 1970 Monte Carlo sat in a field for an extended amount of time (years) and has deteriorated badly. One of the issues that needs to be rectified immediately is the wiring that USED to go to the starter. Apparently a mouse (rat or squirrel?) ate this and some other wiring, in several places, under the hood. I have a part of the harness that I believe went to the starter, including the "black-wrapped" harness behind the distributor, but unfortunately, it only has two black wires (that are only a few inches long- outside the wrapping) and the remnants of an orange, a purple (violet?) and maybe a pink or brown wire... I think that most of these go to the starter, right? I bought a Haynes Manual, but it doesn't tell anything about the solenoid wiring, other than to mark them when you remove them- which is already done (only eyelets remaining). Can anyone tell me where to find a diagram (sorry but not a B&W Technical one- I get confused by them) that will help me figure out where these five wires are supposed to go? Or maybe there is a photo of a correctly wired starter available? I appreciate any and all help, as I have finally gotten my car back to my house and want desperately to hear it run again. Thanks John
  3. Ok I am having an issue with my charging system. I have read and tried everypossible remedy I could find and now Im out of resources and asking for the experiences and know how you guys have... Alright I have a 70 and just put a new engine in it (350c.i.) and things seem to be fine until a couple weeks ago I noticed my gauge at about 11.7v while i was driving... I automatically thought Alt. I had to goto work the next morning so I put it on the tender and in the am drove over 20 min with my lights on to work with no problem. I kept doing this and would try to fix it in the eves. with no change... its got a new starter and ex.volt reg. (Autozone $20 about 3 mos ). Alternator (Oreilys Ultima 61 amp) is only a couple days old and I just got back from having them test it again to make sure it was good since the first was bad right out of the box. Battery (Interstate) is 2 days old. Ive checked the wiring and cleaned every connection I could find on the battery Alt, Regulator, horn relay, splice and grounded the block to frame, and cleaned others on the fender and firewall and ended up running a loop from battery to alt neg post to block to Alt bracket.. I checked noltages at the Bat key off -12.5 running 12.31 Alt running post to post is 12.31 Volt reg key on eng off F-0v #2 .01v #3-12.31v #4 .05v Eng running-No changes. From what ive read #2&4 should have voltage running around 3.2 and full v respectively and shouldnt have any when KOEO. I also borrowed a delco Int. reg alt. 12s from a friend and jumped the F-4 and 2-3 at the Volt reg connection with no difference.. I checked my Gen light and forgot I put LEDs in when I got the car but I thought I took them out so I checked them and made sure they were reg bulbs and now the Gen lite is on when keys on and engine is running.. Im stumped I dont understand how I can drive it with barely any drop in voltage (drives at about 11.7-8v) w/lites on. I see that it dips slightly when I hit the brakes though.. Could it be the gauge and the dummy lite? I saw the Alt had wiring diag. for either or. Is it a wiring problem?? Fuse panel??? Sorry so long but i was trying to give as much info as possible... Thanks in advance for any ideas fellas....Let me know if more info is needed Ill test whatever and get right back and I can post pics if necessary too..
  4. Well guys bummer to my weekend. I put my engine back in and went to crank it and nothing happened. I was with my Monte all day from 8:00 am to 11:00 pm and I just said forget about it. I think I connected all the wiring. The only thing I noticed is that my left side headlight plug has been cut off. Someone needed one badly. I also noticed the plug for the transmission spark control switch is broken(What is the TSCS? Will it cause a no start?). My interior lights and radio comes on. No lights on outside of vehicle but I'm thinking it's because of the stolen plug but there are six or so wires that were cut. So I'm going to need the headlight plug for driver side and also the TSCS pigtail. Any help is really appreciated!! Thanks...... Rodney
