    5 Speed Transmission

    I have an Alpine with a 2.8L Cologne engine with 4 speed. Is there a specific 5 speed Ford tranny that I have to use? Or will all Ford 5-speeds fit with no issues? Thanks in advance Posi

    Instrument Woes

    You know, our Sunbeam website is a fantastic help. I learned much about the voltage stabilizer, especially how to test it. The article the fellows did on the stabilizer was very helpful. A wealth of knowledge available, all you have to do is ask. THANK YOU all members Cheers Posi

    Instrument Woes

    Went back under the dash tonight. There was a loose power wire to the voltage stabilizer. Secured it and everything started working again. Sorry for the messages but thanks for the help. Posi

    Instrument Woes

    No the gauges do not come on when the flasher is off. They stay off. Is there a way to test the voltage stabilizer?? Thanks in advance Posi

    Instrument Woes

    Sounds legitimate to me. I have a feeling to wire gauges and flasher completely separate. Series IV with 2.8L Ford V6.

    Instrument Woes

    So went for a drive, when I put my flashers on, the gas gauge and water temp gauge both went to zero. After this, flashers did not work, nor gauges. Was told it probably was the instrument voltage stabilizer, bought a new one, installed it, ran a fresh wire to a new fuse box for the stabilizer...

    Radiator

    I have had my current rad (4 row) flushed and cleaned last year. They said she was good. Still heats up more than I would like. Great on highway but minute I get in stop and go traffic she heats up, doesn't boil over but temp is up there.

    Flashers - Gauges

    To explain "previously": I have a 2.8l V6 that was overheating. Installed 2 7" electric fans through a new fuse box that had continuous power. Everything worked fine. Then decided I wanted the fuse box to get power only when ignition switch was on. Hooked up power source from "original" fuse box...
