Dash is in, fuel and temp gauge works after grounding the voltage regulator.
need to fix license lamp, probably a ground. And left side marker red wire.
the lights at night- are big and bright
deep in the heart of Texas!
I just ordered some speedo and tach lights. Suprisingly this is all that doesn't work.
At the multi- ground junction behind the dash I soldered in an extra 14 ga ground wire that was run to the metal radio support.
Need to check reverse switch. With power to the green/ brown wire the reverse lights work, just not in reverse.
Putting in the center dash vents I kept knocking off the rheostat wire- not a lot of slack.
The brown wire junction behind the glove box got redone as a brown wire was frayed from the crimp that would have cooked the entire harness. Just saying- if it's something that you can fix easily now instead of behind a bunch of crap later...well you get the idea.
The steering wheel boss was wire brushed and looks magnificent, and the column cover was screwed back together. Starting to look like a car again...
I used some mag/aluminum polish and a wire wheel on the steering spokes and the came out fairly shiny.
As for the leather that looked like it was left in a field for decades...
I used leather furniture conditioner soaked rags and left them wrapped around it overnight.
The next day there was a distinct subtleness to the leather.
Then 3 coatings of black boot conditioner .
