...I am all over the map , concerned that everything electrical is o.k. after so long...RADIO is working fine...the gas sending unit is disconnected as I am going to pull the tank and drain it..I may even replace it. I really need to check and make sure its perfect..its 40 plus years old do not want any problems messing up my carb. over the cost of a new tank..the voltmeter you had me concerned PEPI!!..just went out and it reads/works fine..the photo was taken at night, key was on accessory and the dash lights on with the headlight switch in DOME position!!...you can see the drivers side parking light is out (bulb missing!)..I also have one courtesy bulb out..lastly though I am guessing my key ignition buzzer is broken or missing as no buzzing sound (I still need to install the drivers side door jam switch)..I do not think that would have anything to do with it...I need to find the buzzer..do you know where its located?..later I will post under dash wire photos...possible it has been removed?..again I do not know whats all involved in the system..is anything located in the steering hub?..I would like to make it work again...just happy I do not need radio service!!..maybe its just me but the system sounds great!...but again I have a Trac phone and I am very low tech and easily amused!!..thanks for checking it out and if you know anything about the buzzer/key thing..please let me know..thanks!!

Was that one of your post earlier or in a different thread that there was a meta piece when someone was replacing ignition key lock?

I didn't even think the key was in accy position. Didn't mean to get you nervous about the volts gauge.

[transam1972]

yes that was my ignition with those 2 metal strips (photos in steering /ignition thread)...so I need to find out/will take some under dash later pics as to whats involved with the key buzzer..thanks!...I have also installed a new engine wire harness, so that thing working is on my mind..but I am still a bit away till I can turn the key in the other direction!!..plus I have the unitized distributor that is all redone and supposedly ready to go but..you know what I mean...just nice not to have any new issues!!

Windows 8 will drive anyone insane with tile based software made for a cell phone.
Good luck on your mission..

THNX FB...steering wheel installation does not help,,,

[transam1972]

calling all FORMULA wheel installation experts...it is done, no fun...that's what is frustrating,,no collar install thread..now there is...I made a mistake venturing out on other threads...back home again..and I have broken my own rule...not going to do it again I promise myself...Formula collar install for my car is 72, so atleast back to 1969 to 72..I do not know when changes started but a 72 collar/lockplate is this...

[transam1972]

sorry, everything is scrambled..like eggs...I m returning this mess...keyboard sticks..I hope you get the idea...Formula wheel installed and it all checks out..do want to post details regarding turn signal cam...HORN works!!..nearly blew my ear drums!!...I have a 1/8'' gap at th collar to column (see he sticking?!)....is this right?....ACC carpet stinks!!..DO NOT ORDER!!!...don't hate!...unless its ignorance...chec it out!..ignore is a big part o ignorance....damn keyboard!(I hit exclamation 2xs!)

[transam1972]

I broke my original turn signal cam as no thread...cheap $7.00n HELP replacement...you must remove the shipping tape/film..or remove the collar for the 2nd time...O.E.M from AMES is $27.00...so bearing collar secure (fit is secure/loose)...so,spring..then turn signal cam,then lock plate...THEN INSTALL LOCK PLATE CLIP!!...then lock plate tool..then install clip...then Lock Plate Cover.....then HUB,with steering wheel puller tool (Reverse)....then horn activation part...then nut...secure till tight..do not over tighten!...1/8'' gap from collar to column

[transam1972]

not my fault...

[transam1972]
