Well i have a couple questions, Yesterday i went to a junk yard and there was a 76 4oor Mav that looked beautiful other than it looked like to Simis ran into the front and back. Well there are some nice door pannels and i was wondering if the 76's would fot in my 73? and would the wind shield fit? im going to probally go measure pretty soon. Next question in the pic below those wires, are they suppose to be like that, the engine came out of a fairlane. and they guy that owned the car before did alot of his own wiring. Last question, in the other pic water is dripping (not to much) out of the plastic by the door, is that a Cowl prob or windshield, I pourded water into both but its such a little trickle i couldnt tell. By the way that purple stuff is rust doctor, this thing works so well, but its kinda spendy.
The water, if both sides may be the cowl rusted. Check the right side where the antenna wire comes in, it may be leaking through there. May want to take the plastic off, kick panel, pour your water only in the cowl, not the windshield, and watch inside for leakage. The wires on engine, looks like oil pressure sending unit wire,,, water temp wire (both round caps) rectangular wire, maybe for carb. solenoid hook up or choke. May also be for a/c. What all works in car?
You have to get underneath an take 7 or near that many nuts off. Not sure on your year, I took my speedo out an wiggled my hand up and around all along the dash to take off all the nuts. You really have to double check an not yank pad off. Always seems to miss a nut, unless you have a replacement there to compare.
yes theres to little bolts on the ends faceing towards the doors(the driver side is really hard its behind the heater control panel) and a bunch of little nuts that hold it down.
Are the wires suppose to be like that? cause when i found them they were all tapped up so your couldnt do any thing with them?
well im missing two fuses, so I dont know if that effects this but my side reflector/blinker lights arent working and niether is my dome light. but my warning lights work some times but my temp gauge doesnt work. and the car does work. Another question my Fuel gauge reads wrong how could i fix that,
Have someone watch your gauges, check all the wires with a multi-meter for current, if no voltage, ground the wires and see what lights or gauges move. That will tell you what wires get hooked where. Get all this squared away, replace your fuses also. We'll go from there.
