Does anyone out there have any interest in an adapter to plug a later ignition switch (1 3/8" diameter) into an early series 1 ignition lock assembly (1 1/8" diameter)? In my struggles with a bad switch I talked to a machinist about building an adapter. He figures he could build such a device for about $50 or $60 each -if he was fabricating a dozen or so. So are there 11 people out there that might be interested? Let me know if you are interested and I'll follow up on the idea. Thanks, Randy

Sometime ago I bought new door plungers for my '71, I just recently went to install them and I cannot locate the passenger side wiring. The drivers side is easy two spade connectors up under the dash,but I can find nothing simular on the passenger side. The switches for both sides are equiped with spade connectors but I can locate no crresponding spade connectors on the passenger side only a couple of bullet connectors. Are the replacement plungers diffrent from the originals? Any help appreciated. Best, H Houghton

Well, another problem is happening. I can't get the blower to work for me. I replaced every fuse in the fuse box behind the center dash with new fuses, all correct. But, it just won't work. I was hoping someone here might have some ideas of where to start to figure this out. The AC comp is still on the car, and the heater seems to have been replaced. So, any ideas?

I have a series 1 (8/70) with some starting problems. The start position does not provide any spark! The starter motor is healthy, but the car will not start until I drop the key back to the run position. A couple attempts and it zooms to life. I have tried a second ignition switch (junkyard replacement) to no avail. It's possible both switches are bad. Does anyone have a reliable test method for these? I ran the switches through their positions and got the following closed circuits. Switch 1) ACC: WR LR __ __ __ RUN: WR LR __ BW __ START: WR __ BY BW GW Switch 2) ACC: WR LR __ __ __ RUN: WR LR __ BW __ START: WR…

Hey guys, I have checked all the grounds i could find in the engine bay, and everything seems to be ok. But here's my problem . . When i start up the car its fine. Engine is running and no noise. When i move it into gear Drive, Reverse, or anything else in gear, It makes this EXTREMLY LOUD WHINE noise. I think it is coming from the dash or the actual shifter. If i put it into park or neutral, the noise goes away. I don't know if anyone else has ever had this happen, I'm just hoping someone can help me pinpoint the problem. -Matt

Hi, I was wondering if someone could post me a picture of the proper connector for the fuel sending unit. The previous owner had some thing hacked together that failed pretty quickly. I was looking at CT today and couldnt see anything that seemed to fit it right. Thanks Adam

My choke warning light is not going out. Anytime I have the keys in the ignition and turn it to the first click and after start up the light says on. Sometimes when I turn the headlights on it will go off... but not always. It's a 73. Anyone have any ideas? Where is the sensor for the choke warning light at anyway?

Does anyone know where I can find a series one NOS defroster switch or a replacement that will fit and work? The one I have is shot and I dont think it is repairable in any case. Any ideas appreciated. HH

Here'z another situation... I need to work on my car this weekend probably on the street in front of the house. The headlights/markers are disconnected from the main harness. All dash connections are in place, will the car start (the car is being towed home)? I just need to be able to move it off the street to beat the parking police... :stupid:
