    Electric fan question- how to reverse motor.

    Never mind, the email link was going to my spam which I just remembered could happen. I tried to delete this thread but for some reason you cannot delete an original post. Now I should be able to figure everything out with the instructions which I can now download.

    Alternator and battery question

    I have the original style alternator for a 66 Satellite. When the car is idling, the ignition and lights are running off of the alternator right? I have almost four year old Die Hard Platinum battery. It has been sitting hooked up to the car in storage for the last two years in Florida. I have...

    66 Satellite Wiring Mysteries

    Picture 1 and 2: There is a wire coming out of the fuse box that is burned up. The burned up wire comes from the fuse labeled heat, and only has a remnant of green colored insulation. I tried hard to find the other end of that wire, but cannot find it anywhere. Please tell me where that wire...
