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.

A description of the cranking system, including the wires and connections, is located in this Help Page topic:

Ok, think i got that all sorted out. Thanks for the help

Lower Front End Ball Joints

Posted by Logan Robb on May 11, 2023 at 9:04am 7 Comments

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…

1964 power steering sector rebuild

Posted by CHRIS CARLSON on March 20, 2023 at 11:32pm 3 Comments

 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
