What does this wire go to
I hv two open wires. My pictres dont pick them up in prior photos to were they went.
Its a yellow wire, it was coupled in the old fabrick casing with a green wire [runs to water thermostat sensor] and a black fabric coated wire. For some reason, when i tried starting, the yellow wire got hot and sort of fused with top of valve cover pan were a piece of the yellow coating had broken over time and contacted the valve cover metal.
Anyway, it has or had a use and wondering what it went to. It may have been to distributor before petronix change. If it has no use, i want to remove it ir clip it out of way of things

The yellow wire should be connected to the starter solenoid and Ignition coil +, its hot 12v during cranking to provide full 12v to coil. The resistor wire provides reduced voltage to the coil during normal driving.

Lower Front End Ball Joints

Good Morning all!
I took the 64 into the shop to have some adjustments completed and in the process decided to have the lower ball joints replaced as was recommended the last time I had it in. I ordered the parts and came into the shop. They quoted me nearly $500 to replace those lower ball joints requiring nearly 4hrs of labor. Now this is a reputable shop and they know me by name here and they will continue to get my business. I am just questioning what on earth is…

I'm having my steering sector rebuilt, and considering changing it from 20-1 ratio 4.2 turns lock to lock to 3.5 turns lock to lock @ 16-1 ratio, If i change from a 3 1/4" box to a 3" box i could have a 14-1 Ratio steering response would be faster, shorter distance to turn the wheel to get a response, has anyone done this? and how do you like it? thank you
