I have a 1977 280z but my Black fusible link keeps on getting hot as the revs go higher. Could this method solve that issue, or do you have any other suggestions ? thanks

I am replacing the existing CFL can lights in my kitchen. If I use the remodel can, once I insert it into the ceiling opening, I will not have access to the junction box because this is a two story house and the fixtures I am replacing are on the bottom floor and I have no attic. Can I wire it up before I stick the can into the ceiling, otherwise, the junction box will be inaccessible.

I work building OFF RIDGE VENTS and I can't tell you how many times people come in bitching about those tiny ridge vents. Get yourself the OFF RIDGE VENTS. They circulate more air than those tiny ridge vents.

Excellent video. Finally I understand grounding on the car. Cheers.

You did quite well... just repaired my '85 driver side vent window lock, but without a single new or replacement part... simply because they are hard to get here and if then very expensive here in the European communist Union superstate!! I re-designed and re-created the outer and inner seal and added a piece of thin tubing over the center of the outer bolt, so that no metal comes in direct contact with the glass plate. The seals are now made of inner tube rubber and seal firmly onto the glass and I added a half hard plastic ring on the inside to give more surface pressure on the glass and a firmer solid lock of the protruding bolt, this helps prevent the complete inner core from rotating when someone tries to unlock the window forcefully without first pushing well on the unlock button in the middle... in fact that is the mistake you made... you used force to open the latch but did not push enough on the unlock button, which in result caused the entire inner part to rotate and actually undoes, weakens and loosens the actual locking action one may hope for. Since the latch was also rotating very poorly around the center piece, I cleaned and lightly coated the inner works with copper grease to assure a lifetime hassle free operation... this may cause some greasy fingers the first few times, but after a couple of wipe offs we're all good. I will have to do the same job on the passenger side of my '85 Blazer and will video record and share how to do it. That one in addition has the lower pivot bolt with spring etc snapped off, so that is an additional challenge, but we'll get there... I hope!

Yeah I just split my AE case, your egg analogy is perfect, I can feel the yolk slipping thru my fingers on this project....

I enjoy the content of the VW Beetle keep doing what you’re doing VW Life 💯💯💯💯👍🏼

Helpful vid, thanks. Did you add water and Flowtrol? Or, was it just Flowtrol?

Buenas noches. Dónde se puede conseguir el tablero y que precio tiene x favor. Gracias?

I have 6 beetles and 2 classic vans. I bought a beetle for 300$ in 1997 because the fuel filter was installed backwards. Someone cut the roof off but it otherwise has no rust. Sits in my garage. Several of them are yard ornaments. I have had two 1971 vans stolen in my days. One was a camper pop top and was returned to me in crash totalled condition. I have gone to court to get back a 1978 van that a mechanic was supposed to fix as I tore my house down after a tornado crushed the house and I had to relocate. I won't part with any of them due to the history of nightmares I have faced simply owning them. I had some kind of bullseye painted on me for years and people constantly hit my vans and bugs. I drive a 1969 Yukon yellow bug. Her name is CAR - Cover of Abbey Road. Same year and color on the Beatles album. My 1969 van is a hang out sitting area and isn't taken out because of the bullseye factor I am cursed with. The 78 van has a camper top added by the previous owner. It is used to camp out in the back yard. Bug Garden wouldn't be home without all the VW's on the acreage. They make it the name that it is. Your videos are indeed genuine and appreciated. It's like going back in time to the late 80s and forward for me. I put a whole new brake system in CAR this month. Otherwise, hadn't worked on a VW for 11 years. Tons of YT videos of bugs lately. Maybe I am meant to do some restoring. Thank you for your content.

Awesome! Thank you!

Hi Chris, Great video with helpful explanations. Your videos on relays are the only ones that englightened me. I'm less than a novice on relays as I have never worked with them and only became aware of their exsitence few days ago, but I would like to learn how to use them on cars. In both this video and your other one titled "the automotive RELAY explained...", did you assume two power sources for the two circuits: one for the 85 - 86 circuit and another for the 30 - 87? It seems that you used two power sources in the other video on air conditioner, but I am not sure on this one. As far as I understand, personal cars only have one power source. In this case, would you need same gauged wires for both circuits?

Não fala comer ** hugo muito perfeita ** me ver um antigo meu burro pro Amor com ponto boca com cara pro Mountain a

um didnt say the fuse for switch ( what kind of fuse and what amp fuse in that tiny one that what Im trying to find here, don't want to burn up coil in relay ) Nice vid

The part number on the windshield is FW-193 GTN and the gasket is the same part number pgw should have it in stock.

Did you sell the steering colume I need it where are you selling

That is generous ❤❤

Thanks in advance

Like another viewer posted get those heater hoses on or block them off with caps on the fan housing. Air, like water, takes the easiest path and it's much easier to just blow out through those heater outlets instead of cooling your engine. The sneaky part about this is that it's not immediately obvious that any damage is being done but it really wears the engine down especially in someplace hot.

So. I have original 1966 wiring for a external regulator. Alt on left side of engine. Crate engine alt is on right side of engine. New alt is a one wire. Is this the same process to eliminate the external regulator?

any follow up when booking up the Ring? sounds straight forward but

YOU the MAN!!!!! I didn't do this mod cause I had nowhere to get 4 gauge wire with connectors. Use battery cables from Walmart, duh.

Its a fender flare kit not wide body.

Those are arguably the easiest cars to work on. I love old vw bugs.

Great video. Thank you

3:07 the ballist bypass wire is important for a Couple reasons . One being the voltage drop while starting. It can drop to as low as 9.5 volts +/-. The ballast cutting it nearly in half. That leaves good bit less than 6-9 v for the coil and ignition components. It can drop to a point where it can no longer function. And on the other side it can supply a hotter spark for lighting a rich mixture when cold. Damp plug does not want to spark.. basically being shorted out with a high resistance. You need high voltage, high current to get past the short. And less voltage into the coil less voltage out. The constant 13-14 v to the coil will over heatvtge points if equipped, and the coil will overheat eventually possibly burn up, and a over heated coil of wire inside a sealed container of OIL! What could possibly happen? Spray hot oil on s hotter engine, and the oil will possibly turn into a flame soon as it sees air! ,✌️

super video that explains it all very well, (thank you from France)

Don't these plugs have A B C D on each terminal.

Back in the day use to live in Houston. 40 yrs ago.

If you are doing this job, install 6000K led's in the dash illumination sockets only, I re-did my cluster as well with new bulbs (even used 168's which are a little brighter) and had to remove my cluster again 1 year later to install led's because the illumination was so poor. Now illumination is great, matches my other incandescent lighting I left alone on the climate controls, console and radio and everything is still dim-able. I used Sylvania zevo 6000k super-brite 194 led's, they are dim-able, polarity sensitive, have a heat sink and lifetime warranty, pricey at $22/pair, but I don't want to do the job again. Job took 10 led's. You want to keep incandescent's in the areas I mentioned to aid in current draw through your headlight switch rheostat facilitating smooth dim-ability.

This is the 5th post I've seen you demonstrated the information clearly simple ! The others were a waste of time !!

So your rear tuck because the rearend is shorter then a regular c30?

Thanks, this really helped me!

wow tech today has changed everything- you dont need anything like these large recessed light fixtures that go between joists anymore.

wheres part 2

Thank you. You just saved me a great deal of time and $.

Glad I found your vid, I'm doing the same wheels right now. Hot water, Fast Orange and Dawn will get the power ball clean, if you work the soap into the sponge with your hands. Mine looks near new when done.

Awesome video! Now I know how to fix my 1972 gauge. Been a mystery for 35 years!

Outstanding video....I am doing a 78 Chevy Scottsdale right now. This was wonderful to see. Thank you!!

Solid tutorial. I know brakes, but this is icing on the cake. I'm doing a drum to disc conversion, and I received this kit. My clip popped off during installation, assuming I didn't need 'em. I had to find a tutorial and so now I know the clip remains on the caliper.

Thank you teacher

Don't forget to mark the yoke and the driveshaft so when you re-assemble them, they are in the same orientation as before. Ask me how I found out the hard way! (Yep, had to have my driveshaft re-balanced because I put the yoke on 180 degrees from original).

I have an alternator with a red white and a black would color would the exciter wire go to ?

What ever happen to the chevelle

what type of paint and what color black did you paint the dash with

How was the car acting before the repairs?

Wondering why this video use CRL bulbs then I saw the date it was made…

I just want to say thank you for this video. I rewired it this way last night and it worked for me. Somebody had jumper wires in the external voltage regulator connector so the two middle wires were wrong

Great Video! Doing this today.

I've been having charging issues with my 69 chevelle. It has a single wire alternator on it now. The people I bought it from just had a jumper on the connector for the voltage regulator. I'm going to try to wire it correctly like this. Hopefully it works. Thanks
