  1. Ignore my last post I gave parts numbers for a p15.
  2. I bought wheel cylinders from napa earlier this summer. they were easy to find and i think they may have even been in stock. the part numbers right front top-10581 right front bottom-10583 left front top-10580 left front bottom-10582 both of the rears are the same and the number is-10588 the bolts holding the shoes on were pretty hard to get off, but when in doubt use a bigger hammer. hope this helps
  3. how do you register your car with old plates in MN? I didn't know that it was an option right now my car is registered with collecter plates.
  4. Fuel Gauge. Thanks.
  5. I haven't gotten the package yet, but that is because I haven't been home for awhile so it could be there.The previous owner must have sprayed over surface rust because the paint on the trunk fell off. here is a picture of before and after I painted. The previous owner actually painted the whole car with krylon spray paint about five years ago.
  6. I used spray cans on my trunk. they worked well but gave a grainy texture that I'm not really sure how to get rid of. I got mine at Auto Value and they color matched to my car using a special digital camera that they could take the paint codes from. Good luck with your paint my car will need to be painted soon too, but that is one of the last steps after everything else is fixed.
  7. The chop job looks pretty bad. but at least it still drives on the street.
  8. Central MN. It's the bees kneez except for the cold

    Ammeter

    When i fixed my horn I needed to pull the ammeter, it had not been reading very high amperage and decided to test it and it would not read. Does anyone know where I could find a new ammeter. Or can i buy a universal and then use the face to the one I have. Thanks
  20. Boring! Are you kidding me.
  21. I've done my front brakes too but other then that i repainted the trunk lid and cleaned it up. we have been taking it to shows just for fun and cruise nights just driving the car for fun.
  22. I'm from minnesota so im lucky with the amount of rust on the car. i finished the job this afternoon. the whole project cost me only 59 cents. it will be great to have the horn next summer. thanks for your help. this would have taken me a lot longer without the forum. And thank you for the compliement. what color is your car steve. it looks great in the sun? I need to repaint mine eventually and Im searching for a new color. that is closer to origanal. red was only on the convertibles.
  23. my car is a special deluxe i already pulled the ring apart to run a new wire. the diagram is helpful though thank you
  24. Thank you for your help. Hopefully I will be able to finish it up tommorow, at least without anymore problems. thanks again.
  25. my relay has four prongs: one to the coil, one to the horns, one to the horn ring, and the 4th is supposed to go to the ammeter (or so it shows on the diagram). i do know that my horns work. is there any way to test if the relay is good or bad? I saw a 46 at a car show and that one had a three prong relay directly below the horns but mine is on the right fender.
