Poor Ground at cluster?

Thank you! Sent you a message. Curtis

47 Thanks for such a generous offer!

Headlight switch has a rheostat on it to adjust the instrument light brightness. Possibly dirty contact or spring on the rheostat . Might need a new headlight switch.

I have a 73 Mach 1 with avocado plain interior and I believe I have the short consolette also. Let me know if you're interested.

Possibly timing also. Next time if it happens, to confirm it's timing, disconnect the power wire to the coil, or the wire from coil to distributor and see if engine turns over normally. If so, timing is too far advanced and needs to be retarded a few degrees for initial timing.

Smear a little dab of permatex around the tube end and push it home.

I've heard that you need to do that when you replace rod bolts with ARP hardware, to cut and hone the rod caps, but not with mains when you add studs because of the metal thickness.

That pic is next to FUGLY in the dictionary

That looks to be a 2 barrel intake with that port size mismatch on the gaskets, FYI.

The egr valve diagram is bad, not holding vacuum when you apply it. The valve closes off the port between the intake and exhaust. If the valve is stuck open, it can cause an intake vacuum leak.

So sorry for you loss, Ken.

Congrats! With that rear brake, it'll make right turns easy! That car is similarly equipped to our 73 Q code Mach I. Welcome from Texas!

Bad dimmer switch. It routes the headlight power from the main headlight switch, thru the dimmer switch to high or low beam headlights.
