Please don't be offended and yes I know this is going to come out bad, but after the head gasket fiasco how do you allow this person to continue to work on the motor. At some point you have to be responsible for yourself and the decisions you make and things you allow to happen to you. Once sure...
Fuel gauge is easy,
Temperature add the stock sending unit to the new motor
Oil pressure use the stock sending unit to the new motor
Change the amp gauge to a voltage meter this will require a bit more wiring but is easily do able
Tach use the white wire on the computer control and tap in to it...
I guess I am the only one that feels if its your car and you want it different, well hell its your car. Did the owners smile and are happy about the Foose design? Did the owners know the Foose design was coming? I don't disagree that as a hobby some of these cars really need preservation, but...
Numbers matching is exactly what it sounds like the numbers on the car match... Unfortunately until January of 1968 many motors were not stamped and then it was not mandated by law for another year. If it has a fender tag for 68 you would find the SO number in a few places on the body. For a...
That looks like the rattle canned it and literally painted everything.. You pay 12,500 lets say.. You put 60,000.00 in to it to get it in decent shape and you will have a 50,000.00 car when done.... I myself can think of better things to do with 22,000.00 then throw it out on someone else's...
Modification of a body panel with the VIN is all it takes to break the law.... It is illegal to modify alter remove the VIN number on any vehicle... You can not take it off, alter it, cut off that part of the body, by removing the vin you have knowingly committed fraud if you ever sell it. Now...
Spark plugs also cause noise if you do not have the correct ones.. Gauges if you are running other than stock, fan on the car.. You might try going backwards and eliminate voltage to everything but fuel pump and ignition circuit and see if that helps... Alternator disconnected and all sources...
It is real simple from the Governments position, since 1968. The Vin is stamped in several locations and if any one of those does not have proper stamping then it is considered tampered with vin number. Its not a grey area and that's why in California you go get a new vin assigned to the old one...
I would completely disconnect the alternator and if you have an old one put it in for testing. Alternators can be the single largest noise producer in the engine compartment. Hook up a battery charger with alternator removed from the engine compartment. If you have any loose wires that are not...
It is illegal to modify a vin tag. That said it is legal to do the proper steps in California to remove a vin and place it on a new shell, it is a process. You will also in the end get a blue metal tag that must also be affixed to the new body. Its not impossible but in this world of automotive...
In 1968 title 49 was implemented with new rules and regulations including a anti-theft or theft deterrent code. It included but not limited to all US passenger cars sold in the US beginning 1-1-68 and after. Now is it possible somebody on the line did not strike the numbers hard enough to be...
After ten years the system drop cars that have gone unregistered, but if you have already started the re-registration then it is too late and you would have to wait another ten years. I live near the old High school off 10th and Orchard...
Your going to hate this but two batteries tied together will discharge just sitting there. They have had this problem on diesel engines forever. Get a battery isolator this would help you bunch in the long run. Your right now problem as stated check the alternator if it is working then move to...
