Thanks to you all for all your suggestions .Its great to have this forum to help non mechanical people like myself.I do a It looks like I will be looking for the 900 series after Christmas . Thanks again for your patience.

Thank you Plymouthy Mine is a Signal stat 400 I will look on line for the wiring diagram. It is my understanding that I should be using the turn signal bulb side for the brake light. So the Brake light switch has two wires that push on, one from power and one to the centre B/L. I attach the black gray wire to the power side. The black gray is attached to my power source presently. Then I run two more wires back to the tail lights from the centre brake light side of the switch. I do enjoy working on the car but the signal lights was my first stab at wiring. Thanks again

Ok last year I wired in the new old stock signal lights I got my power from the ignition switch and ran new wires ti both front and rear park lights changing the bulbs to dual filament . This year I thought I would add the brake lights .My car is a 1948 dodge sedan with the old wiring harness, Not sure what else you require I do appreciate you taking the time .

Thanks for the reply Yes I am aware that this topic has been discussed before , The reason I ask is because I was confused , I already have the dual element sockets andI thought I was missing some steps . First running a wire from the centre BL to the signal lights isn"t going to work Am I to run a separate wire from the S/L switch to the rear signal light wire You mention a second dedicated wire on the S/L switch one going to the centre brake light which it already does correct.and the other to the T/S switch This is what confuses me . You can tell I am new at this .

Hi I am in the process of going from one brake light to three. Before I cut any wires, I understand I splice the brake light wire and run it over to the right and left signal light bulb wire. This seems quite simple but I have a feeling I am missing something. Thanks

Hi I know this is a topic that has been discussed a few times . I am in the process of wiring my brake light to the signal lights bulb but before I cut any wires .The way I understand things i just splices the centre brake light wire and feed it over to the right and left signal light and presto I will have three brake lights.. This seems quite simple but I feel I am missing something . Thanks

Amazing what a difference.

Welcome to the Forum there are a lot of very knowledgeable people here that are always willing to help. I have had good luck with parts from Andy Bernbaum Auto Parts.

I will try the heat and wax .Does the wax run down the threads and act as a lub? No I have not drained the coolant yet, I thought I would try to move it just a bit first but I see I will have to drain it first and remove the hose . I will do this tomorrow . Thanks for your responses.

Hi again Does anyone have experience removing this tap . I am nervous about too much torque and snapping it off . I have been spraying penetrating oil for a couple of weeks.still will not budge. Thanks
-
I have been spraying the tap on the head for weeks now with penetrating oil to remove the tap that no longer works . I am nervous about putting too much torque on the tap .I don't want it to snap . My point is i may have a reason to use the stop cock.Instead of draining the rad. Another option is just cutting the hose and putting in a inline tap. Problem is I get heat all summer long .

Thank you to everyone . I won't mess with the Petcock and I will put a couple of drops on the cam . Thanks also for the heads up on the speedometer cable . John
-
Yes thank you I had already put a couple of drops in the cap . This was a further instruction to remove the cap and rotor and place a couple of drops on the wick that surrounds the cam.
-
Sorry about that went to correct spelling and away it went . I was going to place the drops on the cam but like I said I wasn't sure . Also i noticed a tap on the block below the oil filler pipe Was wondering what it is for and is there something I need to do or include in my regular maintenance
-
Hi I was doing some maintenance on my Dodge and the manual call for a couple of oil drops on the wick on the top of the cam in the distributor. I removed the rotor and am not sure where to put the drops because the wick isn't visable

My signal lights are a recent add on for safety reasons. A couple of close calls did it for me . I followed the instructions passed on from a member of this forum and got my power from the ignition switch and ran all the necessary wires .Replaced the single elements to double .The signal lights work great now I would like to add the brake lights . I get that i need signal light interruption i just don't understand how to achieve this.
-
I have already added the double contact sockets for signal lights .Could I not run a wire from the centre B/L and splice into the T/S wire ? It seems too simple.
-
Thank you , I have always just tightened till tight ,but thought i should be using a torque wrench . My manual was no help or maybe it was it said to make sure they were tight. Thanks again

I bought mine from Bernbaums and gave it 3 coats of pore 15.
-
I unstuck my engine back in the eighties a mechanic had me pore diesel fuel down the cylinders and try to turn the engine a little at a time maybe a sixteenth of an inch no more .I did this everyday for a month or longer ,and eventually got it free . I removed the rad to get enough room .The engine is still running .
