Thank you John.........found the wire was pinched/shorted behind the dash.

mdh157 2 hours 24 minutes ago at 6:34am Edit Quote Reply Yesterday i was working on the car (67 ambassador) and I turned the ignition on to check the reverse lights because i cant get them to activate correctly. When i turned back to the car there was smoke under the dash. Turns out the...

Thanks for the replies all.......considering it as their email did in fact remind me as HWYCRZR said, but my quote for panels is from 2.5 years ago and I question if they will really be identical as the interior color is very rare. OTOH, there is nobody I am aware of that can do this stuff.

Pretty good Matt..........busier than ever. Retired but now have 2 jobs (yes, I am an idiot) and a kid in college, so I am running all the time.

Has anyone here done business with SMS Fabrics? They claim they can make me factory identical door panels for my Ambassador but I also hear the wait time is really long.

Yes, they tore everything down but the main garage. The building behind it was pretty neat too....a large pole barn with one side having a bunch of cubbies where various parts were kept. There were also 2 side room that has part of the old boiler and another piece of equipment that I didn't...

You should have seen this place 19 years ago when I moved here. There were a bunch of 70s-80s cars and trucks sitting alongside and in front of the garage and a huge clock mounted on front of the garage just under that light at top center. Slowly the stuff has disappeared over the years.

It has been sold, to the guy who owns the adjacent car lot (platinum pre-owned). The lady who sold it to him told me as a condition of the sale that he was to restore the garage. That whole intersection is going to be redone so the garage will be almost right on the corner and there will be...

I thought you guys would appreciate this. Just north of Carlisle Boro at the intersection of RT 11 and Wolfs Bridge Road is an old garage with a distinctive design. This garage is part of an old home/dealership complex that sat in this location for many years. The garage was built around...

made some progress today. drained the rad and dropped the lower hose, took out the thermo. thermo was gummed up even though it is brand new and it was stuck open a bit. the heater valve is stuck closed, that explains the lack of heat. flushed the rad and block several times until both were...

I changed the water 3 times yesterday as well. Still muddy. One of those times included a bottle of blue devil. Ran the car for an hour, still running below operating temp but then it got even muddier. There is def some neglect here as the lower hose had a chunk of hardened dirt/rust in it...

Finally got the Ambassador abt done. Project kept growing and growing! Ended up converting to 4 barrel and replacing numerous other things as well. Been running it and noticed two things....it doesnt seem to want to get up to operating temp, and despite changing the water 4 times in the...

I am changing the carb on my Ambassador and trying to figure out where I can hook the elec choke wire up to. My problem is that there does not seem to be an open port on the fuse panel where there is power only when ignition switch is 'on'. The car has been converted to an elec fuel pump that...

Looking for suggestions on how to stop these delivery drivers from turning around on my driveway. A full gate is too expensive and i do not want to stop and get out to open/close it all the time. I would put one of those one way tire flattening devices but then i will end up driving over it...

@cuda hunter Your inbox is full. No worries, I just heard the car sold.

Agreed @livininharrow . After all consideration I have decided to pull it. All loosened up but i am gonna put a factory 4b intake on it so now i am gonna look for one of those. As usual, have found one but nowhere near me. I will repl the intake, prob put an Eddy 4 w/elec choke on it and...

Need eyes on a car.

I broke yet another bit last night.........must be moving toward some sort of record. Am gonna poke a bit more before I succumb to removing the manifold bec there is so much work to put all this back together.

One of the real small bits is still stuck in there. Yes, broken off flush and hole is close to center. Later today I am gonna pick up a carbide tip bit set bec the titanium coated tips will not drill through it. BTW John, I do not like the idea of "take it to the shop" price!!
