On the road again
After about six years of on again off again work, the spark yellow '78 I have had since new is on the road again. I'm actually using it as my daily driver. However, I'm still chasing a few issues listed below. Please feel free to weigh in on any or all topics.

Sounds like corrosion somewhere on the right blinker wiring.. Either front or back blinkers. Excessive resistance will cause a faster blink.
All the other things probably have the same cause (aside from the license plate issue). Seems like you might have a vacuum leak. Probably in the booster. What is bad gas mileage? 15mpg or less? Driving with the choke on will do that. |
Congratulations! If I have it... I’ll dig up my plate frame and get some pictures and measurements over the weekend. It looks like it could be reproduced with a pop rivot gun and some steel stock from Lowe’s. Poor fuel economy is subjective. Numbers would help if you could. |
Way to go Herb!!! It's been a long string of help questions but being back on the road with the ole girlfriend must be very gratifying. Isn't there a threaded plunger btw the brake pedal and the brake master cylinder. Would adjusting it there to make it longer take up some of that excess travel? I also think there may be a bolt on the pedal box, to adjust how far back out the pedal arm travels.
