    Dash Indicator Light

    Bob Depends on what diodes you get. Probably will have small solid wires to connect. You might be able to use solderless connectors but would be better to solder and then insulate with tape so no chance of shorting to ground. Remember, current will flow one way and not the other way. Important...

    Dash Indicator Light

    OR ...put both t/s lamps in the center (or wherever) right next to each other. You can get LED lamps with two colors in one bulb. That might be cool.

    Dash Indicator Light

    Nothing to be sorry about. We are here to help each other. If you have a switch similar to the one you linked, they have indicators in the switch housing. You can use them or hook up dash mounted lights. If you use the lights on the switch you don't need any in the dash. Just a thought.

    Dash Indicator Light

    OK, the link you sent says it uses one 3 prong flasher. That would be easier since the 3 prong has a terminal for the indicator. If your switch has wires for the indicators, you may have to use two. You might be able to use diodes in line from each indicator wire so they don't back feed and...

    Dash Indicator Light

    It has a 3 prong flasher. Hook your dash light to the "P" terminal on he flasher. It should do what you want.

    Dash Indicator Light

    Hook the indicator light to the load side of the turn signal flasher. (before the TS switch) I would have to know what kind of switch and circuit you have for 4 ways. Might be able to use the same indicator with a diode.

    Where does the main Positive wire from a fuse box connect to?

    Either the starter solenoid stud (assuming a GM or similar starter) as long as it goes to the battery, or from the POS terminal on the battery. Some cable ends have a short wire attached that can be used. Usually 8-10 gauge is OK. The further away from the battery the larger gauge the wire...

    My Bouncing T

    Maybe someone will jump in with a recommended torque. I don't know what they should be. I am much higher than 30PSI. I will put the torque wrench on and see, but I bet closer to 60-70. Anyway, it seems you are on the right track now.

    My Bouncing T

    What Bob said... Mine did that. Tightening the friction shocks took care of it. Give us some more details. What type of front suspension and shocks ? Is this car new to you ? Did the problem just start ? How do the brakes feel ? Any other info that seems relevant can help. There is a lot of...

    Hello From Pgh, PA

    Welcome to the forum. Here is some info on titling in PA. http://www.dmv.org/pa-pennsylvania/custom-built-cars.php Mine was registered in PA before NY. They riveted a VIN plate on the firewall. Keep receipts. Good luck with your project.

    Hi from Newfield NY

    Hi Rbeck Different people I think. I lack some of the skillsets to build one from scratch but wanted an affordable street rod. While I can't say "I built it", I did make some changes and enjoyed driving it immediately. I am also in for under $10K. It would cost twice as much to order all the kit...

    DEATH WOBBLE

    Hi Edski, Welcome to the forum. How about jumping over to "introductions" and tell us about yourself. More people will get to know you there. Tom

    DEATH WOBBLE

    Just my 2 cents. If you're front tires are hopping like a basketball you might try checking the runout and tread deviation by putting the tire on a spin balancer. If they have up-down runout we used to break them down and rotate the tire 180 degrees on the wheel and rebalance. I had the same...

    Nice.....Keep us updated.

    Hello from Texas

    Try tightening them first. It is really the unsprung weight, tire and wheel, that is effected. I didn't torque mine. I pulled them up pretty tight just to see the difference. Worked so good I left it. I hope it works out for you.

    Hello from Texas

    If you have a Total Performance or similar transverse spring front end, you may have a friction pad on each side of the frame with adjustable linkage to the front axle. Tightening the nuts on the friction pads fixed my front wheel hop.

    Candyman

    Welcome Candyman: Sorry for your loss. I got my 1977 Harley FLH the same way. Think good thoughts of your Dad when you drive the Bucket.. Tom
