You must not have read posts 16 & 18 where I diagnosed and solved the problem. :)

I'll keep that in mind, thanks.

I wanted to let everyone know that I have apparently solved the problem. I pulled out the gauge pod, cleaned the copper runs on the board with a gum eraser. Then, I noticed that the studs to the ammeter were 'loose", so I tightened the nuts. I found what would soon be a bad lamp and replaced...

I dug a bit deeper into the issue today on found what I was looking for. Partially removing the right-side pod from the dash, I ran a test wire from the negative terminal of the battery, started the car, turned on the lights, waiting for the gauge to read incorrectly and touched the test wire...

No wonder there's an issue. Time, corrosion, and dirt make for unhappy bed fellows. If I find the problem and a solution, I'll post it.

I appreciate that. Silly questions.... I'm looking at the electrical schematic for the car in the FSM. I don't see any grounds for the dash. How does that work? Does everything ground to the instrument pods and touch the dash frame? I see a ground for the cigar lighter. Actually, the outer...

@Big_John I dunno about broken but that made me chuckle. Some would call it attitude or "character", and this car has that for sure. I followed your suggestions. All the lights and dash lights work. When I got the car, some of the dash lights were burnt out. I pulled the gauge pods and...

I tested the limiter in the car per the FSM and it passed. The limiter isn't a plug and play on a 1966, it's part of the temp gauge. I have thought about the circuit board and corrosion, although I'd attempted to clean all that when I first received the car. I was hoping @Big_John might...

Update: I fabricated new ground wires for the engine to firewall and negative cable and cleaned a ground cable I found in the headlight wiring harness. No change. Next, I conducted an in-vehicle test of the voltage limiter as found in the FSM using the temp sender. The VOM indicated fluctuating...

I've basically bypassed the bulkhead with the jumper from the alternator to the starter relay. The negative cable runs to the intake manifold bolt (stock position) and it's clean. I'm going to add an extra ground to that and try to find the other chassis grounds for the lights and clean them...

My sweet little '66 Polara ragtop has what I consider a typical Mopar electrical system. When you turn on the lights, the temp gauge goes up (goes back down when you turn them off), and the fuel gauge goes up. My sense tells me this is a grounding issue but where would one start? I have an FSM...

Mr. Galen! Still waking up on the right side of the grass. I guess if you see me, you saw me! :) When it's not raining or thinking about it, I'm driving the car.

I sprayed the interior panel and armrest with Herb's spray dye. I love this product! The trim was covered with chrome tape from ebay which doesn't stick as well as I hoped. New cat hair and a little adjustment. It's certainly an improvement.

The is an old photo but I still have the truck. I bought it used in 2001 and shows 173k on the odometer. When I lived in Az it was my weekend toy and my daily. I hardly drive it and am thinking of selling it. It sucks gas and hauls azz for what it is. Smiles per gallon. 5.9 V-8 53mm throttle...

I wanted to replace my springs with OEM Eatons, but ESPO's price and quality got the nod. I've been very happy so far, and even though I left the air shocks on, I have the minimum amount of air in them. The stance is just as I envisioned it!

Everything got a thorough cleaning with fresh grease and a new roller. Even a new cat hair strip.

Today my wife and I removed the widow glass and I proceeded to strip the door I think I found some of the crooked window issue.

Ok. Not sure how you'd do that with the guides holding the glass in the vent frame. I need to get the car home, our weather has too unstable.

Did you take out just the vent frame or the whole assembly which includes the door glass?

I need to remove the passenger door glass on my 66 Polara convertible. The FSM states I have to remove the vent frame and door glass as a unit. I don't have enough hands. Is there any way to remove just the vent frame without the window glass? I need to replace the guide shoes and weatherstrip...
