Hot Rods SOLD the newer Buick wagon , now looking for a new project

Yep, best to always check the simple things first

 

Check and make sure you have power coming to the switch from the fuse box (probably a black wire) If you do, make sure the power is being fed through the switch to the different terminals on the resistor. From there power needs to feed the fan motor. Two wires on the fan motor. One from the resistor, the other to ground. Have you a good ground?

 

Love your setup also Bruce and in general you seem like stand up guy. not lovy dovy shit either ,,ive seen your pic lol.

 

upspirate yes and yes.Thanks Bruce.

 

Galaxie, yes, I even grounded down the spot for the bolt to make sure it had a good ground.Thanks Bruce.

 

Thanks Harpo.Bruce.

 

Guy from the body shop gave me a 15 inch wheel and I needed a 14 inch. Yesterday i drove out in the boonies to see a guy for a wheel, got it from him really nice guy he was in to old cars too. If the center hole isnt right he has another one he says I can come back and get. I couldn't take the wheel from the Plymouth with me because a family member came limping up the drive way with a bad water pump that's in the shop now. You all have a good Sunday! Bruce.

 

Plymouth’s do not have a different grounding system than anything else, get a service manual with a wiring schematic and find out where you run out of power or ground, it should take about ten minutes to figure out why it doesn’t work.

This would take some work https://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/cto/d/red-oak-1960-buick-wagon-barn-find/7051795761.html

 

I'm guessing that this one is not in the budget and there is a bunch of real estate between you and it but IMO it fits the requirement of big and ugly. IIRC that was one of the requirements that the new long roof had to have.

Bruce must be isolating on the mountain...

 

I think that might be a good idea for everyone head for the hills...

 

Bruce, saw in another post you're still looking for a wagon. Don't know how much is in the flour barrel now and I realize that there is a lot of real estate between TN and SoCal but here is a wagon for your consideration. The link is to a Phoenix Craigslist ad but the wagon is in SoCal.

Bruce,
Not sure if you’re still looking, but this showed up on St. Louis Craigslist on the week-end. Looks like a solid car.
