This is nonsense. What exactly does not fit ??

Worth considering: Wire strand size is more important than the gauge to some degree. DC current travels on the exterior of the strand, so many small strands are better than fewer larger strands in the same gauge wire.

Put 12 volts on an LED it'l glow really bright but won't last. That's why most automitve LEDs have weird bases or housings and some have small transformers inline. These are all to drop the voltage. The downside is that its done with resistors and the excess voltage is converted to heat. I...

All that bitching and you solved it! What an ***! That's like of accusing someone of misplacing the remote - meanwhile its dropped down beside your fat ***!

Oh wait, you mean you want somebody else to spend a couple hours tracing wires in the FSM they've bought !!!

I doubt its the column. Maybe get a FSM and trace the wiring out of that indicator light. Could be there are two seperate feeds - for turn signal and fourways - and one is buggered.

Buy them to accept 18ga wire and you can't go wrong.

The problem doing a '68 is the FSM is an absolute bitch to follow. Its fine to trace a single wire but to do them all would be a nightmare. And there are so many splices its ridiculous. My advice would be to buy a complete dash harness and install that "as is". Frome that point the rear end is...

Also keep in mind that there are two amperage ratings for everything. A fan may draw 60 amps at startup (usually 40 or less) but only draw 5 amps when running. Likewise with all the other accessories. Chances are when all the lights are on and everything is running the total draw is around 50...

Its an extra wire and a pointless one at that. A "body ground" is the nearest bolt to whatever you're grounding. The heavy ground to the block is to support the starter draw. The ground to the body doesn't need to be that heavy. Keep in mind that once the car is running all the juice is supplied...

Not something I’d do. But whatever floats yer boat !

I don’t know why people shop ebay for car parts. Rockauto have much better choices, pricing, return options, etc.

That won't solve his issue.

The "contactor" is, in simple terms, a large copper washer. The current going through it is very high and each time it contacts it sparks. When the contactor is new and clean it works flawlessly BUT with age the contacts become pitted and contaminated and will "possibly" fuse together, allowing...

NOT how it works. The lower current engages the solenoid and yes it pushes out the gear. However, it also has a very large high current contactor which engages the actual starter motor. When current to the small terminal is broken the solenoid is retracted by a spring. Since the high current...

HUH ?!?!?

FACT: the mini starter is modern technology. The solenoid in the starter takes SIGNIFICANTLY less current than the old units and is triggered with an 18ga wire as opposed to what - an 8 or 10ga on the old units. It will operate with virtually any run-of-the mill 40a relay - as seen in the...

Not seeing any pertinent info !!!
