Hey Jean! Hope you and Dale are doing well. My dad and I are in Joplin right now...trailered the Mav this year. Could you tell me exactly what message you are receiving when you try to go to my website? Also..are you using Internet Explorer, or a different browser like Firefox. I can't seem to duplicate the error...
Hi Mark. I'm glad to see the Grabber is still looking good. I came across the pictures we took of it a few weeks back when we were getting it ready for paint. It seems like such a long time ago. The message I'm getting when I try to get on your website reads: HTTP 500 Internal Server Error The website cannot display the page Possible causes are: Website under maintenance or Programming Error I am running Explorer. I did try to get on your website a few weeks ago to get some vacuum diagrams and I had the same problem then. I didn't think anything of it at the time, but now I see I'm still having the same problem. Have fun in Joplin!
Fyi I am able to get to your site with out any problems. I used the link you posted and it went right there. http://www.maverickcomet.com/Wiring/Maverick.asp I even opened up the 74 wiring diagram. Just thought I'd let you know, might help narrow down the problem. By the way, thanks for the info on your site.
I have something that looks like a high idle circuit in my wiring harness...still connected. Yet I don't see anything in the diagram pertaining to it. I don't know what the wire color is, I'm going to take a closer look tomorrow.
That would be it. I knew it was idle related but it's not in the diagram....or is it? There is also a vacuum switch that is still plugged in but I don't see that on the diagram either.
Second pic is the TAV (Temperature Activated Vacuum) system http://1bad6t.com/Maverick/repair/emission_controls_04.html#D
This link says they were on 1973 Mavericks and Comets using the 250 six-cylinder engine and automatic transmission built before March 15, 1973. Mine is a '72 V8/auto car. Does this still apply?
Do you have the extra emissions garbage that Calif. got before the rest of the world? Where do the wire go to?
I know it had the charcoal canister when I first got it. I have no idea where it went. It also had the t-static air cleaner....not sure if original...but it got pitched too. What else is there and would I have to look up a California emissions wiring diagram? The wires to the curb idle solenoid and the TAV go right into the harness along with the coil, temp and oil sensor wires. Without tracing them back or at least having the correct diagram, I have no idea where they go.
Start here and read up what was used. It could be a TRS instead of a TAV. http://1bad6t.com/Maverick/repair/emission_controls.html
What is the pigtail hanging off the amplifier in the ESC system? It almost looks like it's a little bit of both systems......I'll have to dig it all out and pitch it too.
