    I just checked one last nite.The blue and red wire is the power supply The blue and white is the signal.I have a old manual switch that i cut off to expose the three wires Solid blue is the hot i spliced the solid blue and the blue and red together then i just touched the two hots the blue and white to send a signal to the antenna.This was done in the car but i suppose you could test one on a bench by hooking up the B/R and the ground to a battery and touch the B/W to the hot.WORKED FOR ME good luck.
  2. What about hooking a switch to the nuetral safety switch.Can it still be hot wired?

    I own a early 74 260 .Im in the final stages of a almost complete restoration not quite frame up but close.I want to keep the car as stock as possible "done good so far".But now im down to the bumpers ,emblems and such.The problem is the finding the rubber packing that goes between the bumpers and the body I need the front and back left and right ,centers good .I have looked the usual sources msa ,vb, zedd, ebay no luck.Im thinking that these are hard to find with the short production of the early bumpers with the dampers.Does anybody have any good ideas on how to deal with this problem i know somebody out there has run into this before.Im open to any ideas thinking of tryng to make something out of rubber or sheet metal to fill voids .Also i have read some posts about letting the oil out of the shocks To bring the bumpers closer to the body.Dont know if it is a good idea or not i kind of like the idea of the added protection the dampers provide. I've spent alot of time on the body work .It would kill me if someone hit me @ 5 miles per hour and trashed my 1/4 panel. Any help at all would be GREAT. thanks for looking. Thanks alot if you reply MIKE

    Hopefully you read this post? There some cities in CA. that are smog exempt You have to have it smogged if it was just bought"after 1975" I know this to be true because i did the song and dance last month.Get on the dmv website and follow the links you can find the zip codes if you look.i was lucky i have a relative that lives in a smog free zone. Good luck IMHOPPY
