Wow, where to start……… Didn’t crack the bleeders when compressing pistons, as well as both calipers off when doing this. Didn’t replace clips or lube ends of pads at contact points Didn’t lube caliper pins Always replace rotors in pairs The dirt and debris pushed back into the abs pump is bad juju, maybe ok in the 60’s and 70’s but not ok today, I hope that’s your own car and I hope you’re never behind me in traffic.

The easiest way is to short out the - side of the coil. Connect a wire from the - side of the coil to one side of the switch inside the car then connect a second wire from the other side of the switch to a ground. Use an existing screw that goes through metal under the dash for ground.

@davidlis670915 күн бұрын
No - if I remember correctly your ignition switch is on the dash and does not have a steering wheel lock. Do your head lights come on? battery Check the connection on the negative cable, it may not have a good ground May need to cur back 1 inch on both battery cables and put on new battery connectors, the cable could be green with corrosion.

Until now I assumed that the carb was flooding (with no evidence of gasoline on the outside of the carb) but having seen your video, I am now convinced that it is oil.

Here i am experiencing on my 1970 chevelle. When i turn the key to run the engine nothing works. Only the first click is the gen light . Then i believe the oil light comes on the 2nd click. I took a test light to the 3 terminals on the fuse box #1 "Bat" /#2 "acc" & #3 "ign" all 3 terminals are dead with out electricity. I also took the plugs out of the ignition switch and the red wire is HOt. I dont get it. The only thing i am thinking is the column shifter is in a wrong spot.? I dont have the column shift lever attached just like in this video. I put a jumper wire in the plug that goes to the nutral safety switch so .. i don't think the position of the gear selector on the column makes a difference

@erik9685Ай бұрын
I just took it off to verify the "locked" position on the switch. The key was in the lock position but the switch was in the 1st postion not the 2nd position. I saw your video in detail but neglected to make sure the switch was in the 1st click on lock. For some reason i thought the switch would move to where the rod was position when i put the 2 small screws. I guess thats why the holes are slotted on the switch??? Anyhow i will know if that was it. when i replace the negative battery cable tomarrow. (Long story on that... i needed a cable on my daily driver) thank you for responding
