I checked the grounds and everything looked good. Replaced both battery cables with new ones. Used a circuit tester and figured out that the fuse...
I have the IGN wire from the switch running to the ballast resistor on one side, and on the other side it splits with one wire to the coil and one...
The starter solenoid bolts onto the starter. I found the small screw that goes onto the tab on top of the solenoid, the 4th bolt with no wires...
Is the grey wire off the alternator a ground? I thought the alternator grounded through the casing, and the only thing I could find online for the...
I ran the power from the alternator to the second connection on the battery cables (my battery cables had build in fusible link with a second...
I bet that guy behind the wall where it hit needed some new pants after that.
I just finished rewiring my 63 Rambler Ambassador, used an ez2wire kit. Finished it up, checked the connections, circuit tested, etc. The battery...
Do I need a ground wire for an ignition switch? The stock grounded through the body, and I have an aftermarket switch, but the piece the switch...
My alternator has two wires, a red and a silver. I'm assuming the red goes to the starter, but what about the silver?
This is an awesome ride. Such a bad ass looking car.
I don't get why the thread police are all over this. I've seen many slammed pick up trucks on this site, half the c10s or f100s here are as low as...
I understand this is a site for "traditional" hot rods. I always just assumed that meant classic influenced, not all billet and 25 inch wheels....
I'm doing some wiring, and for the wiring guide there are many spots where wires connect to each other at a T. For example, on the headlight...
I didn't realize there were people who started cars without their foot on the brake? It's just one of those things you do so much you done even...
I picked them up and they're pretty wide, 15x8.5, 4" back spacing. Don't know how they will fit, suspect they might rub when turning unless I get...
I somehow imagine these guys ride Harley baggers too.
No one have pictures of these wheels on their rides?
I found a set of slotted mags at a pawn shop near me for $175, but with some stuff to trade and talking them down I could probably get them for...
Nice, love the rambler Americans.
I got a new ignition switch because I figure if I'm taking everything out in going to replace what I can now, got one with a 15amp max. Couldn't...
I have the mechanical pump. It's one piece with the vacuum booster if I remember right. Assuming whoever put in the electric one did so because...
I have a 63 rambler ambassador, someone replaced the fuel pump with an electronic unit, but I don't see a regulator anywhere? Just the pump with 2...
Yup just figures this out, also the done light connects there which was still connected.
So some progress the last week or so. I got the wiring kit, and today have been working at pulling out all the old wiring. Have most of the engine...
It's a 63 Rambler. I have the wire all the way free right up to where it meets on each side of the floor. Think I might try cutting it off and...
I'm removing the old harness from my car, and the part to the trunk runs under the door jambs. I have everything disconnected but it won't pull...
I'd say clean it up, polish the crap out of it, maybe a nice gloss black.
Ty haven't worked up till now and I never had a problem.
It's a 63 rambler. Will be doing a fairly basic wire, power nothing, skipping the door/dome lights, no radio, etc. Just what it needs to run and...
