I have probed with my test light to verify that I have power. Though I think it may be time to install the wiring kit I bought at the tail end of winter. I'm not getting much if any light and I couldn't remember what fuse to look at

I have made a little headway. No power to the windows. Any ideas. Fuse is good and I have 0 power to the switches

I got a new carburetor ordered. Was wondering if any of y'all had a tune I should put. I know that the transfer slots wanna be square, the mixture screws I'm less sure. Currently they are roughly 2.5 turns out

Above the the kick panel. Like a few inches up from the hood release, tucked just out of view

I took it out to see if it was junk, don't hear anything rattling. I put for testing a 30amp. And have found that power isn't getting to the relay. There's this power block thing that could be junk as well. Also my dash light circuit has a short somewhere as the fuse pops. I tried with 5 amp as that's all I had and it went pop immediately.

Ok. Am trying to figure out why I don't seem to have power to the relay. I'm thinking the wires go to a power block is not working. Or the power block is junk.

Update. It's moving stopping and running. Need to get the carburetor work done at some point, got a new relay for the power windows. If I can beat the storm tomorrow I will try to see if it's that 40 amp fuse. As I shoot it and wasn't sure if I could hear anything due to rain hitting the tarp. But it is a handful moving around. I need to look into replacing shocks as it's really bouncy and all that. Am really surprised how far I can see with the stock headlights that are as old as they are. Need to go through my fuse panel, anyone know how it comes off the firewall?

I found it with the gasket for a little cheap. Just under $200. Was wondering if that site is legit.

Will this be a good one? https://guaranteedcarburetors.com/X16-128_p_447.html It lists my carb. 7043066

I'm going to replace the carburetor next. Within a $250 max $300 as my grandma is possibly gonna help me with finding it. What do you guys recommend in the budget for a 2 barrel carburetor?

Once I get the chance I'll trace that red wire? That should be the power wire.

I have replaced almost all of them.

So I should trace the red wire and find out where that relay is and possibly replace it

Feeling better today. Don't have covid which is nice. Also. How hard is it to bleed rear brakes. Cause I don't have any engagement in the rears. Also got to move it today. Gonna stay there till spring or I move out my parents place and in with my bf. Also gas gauge was correct. Now confused where an 1/8th tank goes when it sat. No leaks ATM. Also probed my fuse panel. That little 4 amp seems to be fine. So something in the circuit might be dead. Also gonna test my 40 amp and then see about tracing wiring for the power window relay. See if I have something going on with it. I wanna have working windows by spring so I can air it out. Has a slight rodent smell. They're eating the rear seat and it's not great. Also if any of you come across a front valance for a decent price lmk. Mines not savable.

Sounds like a plan. Though it's gonna be on wait as I'm sick. Might be covid but not confirmed. Gonna be resting awhile. Also if I am not mistaken. The one that looked really rusty broke so I have to redo the clip on it

It stopped working, used to work marker lights and running lights work but not the backlight. It was dim

This should be better

that's not my one, this is. That was a reference. I know that one of the fuses needs a new end clip as it rusted off.

I do think my idle is a little high even when warmed up. Though it is good. Sadly. I think my gas gauge stopped working, it says E when I had an 1/8th tank. Could also be a fuse or something. what fuse is it? As well as backlight for dash?

if I get some more funds I can do that. Can any of you help recommend a kit? preferably linked if possible. As I don't know what's good, what's not. But gonna share it. I'm impressed by how it's running. Let it idle and run for about 20 minutes, no overheating, just steady running, happily, smoothly. Found out that defrost works, heat is working. Can't get my temp selector to move, it's stuck in the middle. but it gets cozy in there. Next thing electrically is getting blinkers, reverse, and then windows. Dash backlights aren't working, they were dim, but doesn't work now at all. Wish to get it brighter and maybe a colors. Like an halogen orange LED color. VID_20220106_150059631.mp4

Oil change done. Should've wrote date/mileage on the filter but that's besides the point. It doesn't start and look like a chainsmoker now. Carb work is next

I got a huge update. IT LIVES. It gave me a heart attack as it had a lot of lifter noise on start up but that cleared up after about 5 minutes as it's been really cold. Need to get a carb kit or a carburetor. Spent the money to change the really gassy oil for my peace of mind as it reeked of fuel.

Had my friend contact the sheriff. Car is clear. Still have to have my local pd write a vin verification form so I can get it registered. Next on the agenda. Getting the thing running so that I can be able to move it. Can someone give me some ideas on suitable carburetors for this thing. Looking at keeping it 2 barrel for now just for pricing and less work vs getting a 4 barrel manifold and running one, or doing the jank thing and getting an adapter plate and running it upside down with a 4 barrel carburetor

I mean. My friend owns and ultrasonic cleaner. So that makes life easier. I've hit most of the passages already with a can of carb clean, but it's more to get anything I missed as well as degrime the exterior of the carburetor body. I am close. Decoded my VIN after getting the numbers cleared. 2N39R3P494825. and I am gonna see if next time I have a chance to talk to local law enforcement if it's fully legal to get the VIN Plate Remade as mine is nearly corroded away. it was a good chunk of time scraping and scrubbing to get to that VS what I shared the other day. but at least it's visible now. But once the carb is on I can try to start it back up Def gonna need some restoring of this.

I got the vin. it was really dirty and the sealant that holds the windshield had crept up. had to push it back and pick at it and clean it as best I could. Now it's getting the carburetor done. my friend is gonna help me find a kit and if a friend of ours agrees we're putting it in an ultrasonic cleaner to be sure it's as close to 100% clean as possible. Then rebuild and reassemble. And hope that once back together it lives. I do think it is also an ignition issue as well as when I had someone help. The strength varied. Might try doing the hot lead trick to the coil to make sure it's running good. if it is then runs like ass when the hot lead is gone. That should tell me that it's a harness issue
