Okay-
So I have a 69 Radio and harness and recently found a 71 am/fm stereo with no radio plug-
1st-Where can I obtain the correct radio plug?
2nd-How do I wire it to the 71 radio using the 69 harness?

Maintenance / Fuel and temp gauge not working in console
« on: July 18, 2009, 12:15:34 AM »


Hello-
My oil and gen gauges work but temp and fuel dont.
when i ordered the wiring harness it was for low fuel warning and I dont have it-do I need it?
also noticed the fuel gauge has 3 pegs 2 for the wiring harness and another one Im assuming should be ground-can someone clarify?

thanks in advance

Maintenance / Brakes dont quite feel right

Almost there......
brakes do work but you have to push the brake pedal hard-
Do I need to bleed them several times in order to get them to feel right?

Thanks in advance

Maintenance / 1969 Camaro idle problem

Okay now that the brakes are done Im having an issue with the idle-Ive adjusted the idle as far down as it will go -so I thought it was a distributer adjustment-however when i adjusted the dist counter clockwise it advanced the idle-Im told  that if I turn the dist counter clockwise its supposed to retard it? Is the Dist off 180 degrees?

Thanks for your patience

locations the same and this is a replacement Delco Moraine Booster and MC from firewheel classics.
The original MC was not the right one and the P Valve was missing, everything worked good though.
it has original front disc and rear drum.

Hi
I am wondering what the proper brake bleeding procedure is for a 69 Camaro with front disc and rear drums-power booster and MC with bleeders?

Thank you
