Thank you for your thoughts on damion. I kinda had to walk away for a few days so I could refocus. I restarted work on a little Fox body Mustang I have. Lo and behold the first thing I put my hand on was a brown drop cord running from the fire wall and thru the passenger side fender apron!! On...

Here is the latest saga of " as the wheel turns ". I always try to stay with design intent on any project. In this case that was the dumbest design I have ever seen. Even considering the previous jack legs that supposedly knew what they were doing, there was a much better way of routing the...

Thanks gentlemen, I'll be back at it right after coffee. Maybe I'm either too stupid or making this thing too complicated. Will, I did find the knock sensor plug coiled up inside this shield.. Thanks again for your help, about to go out to the garage and see what else the little darling has in...

Brother I really appreciate that. I have researched the net and all of my books and haven't found anything. Thank you again for your help. Richard

Yeah I tried the bell housing pattern and will not match. I tried around the starter,no go. Talked to my brother, he was unbolting that side, and he said it was laying on top of the starter. He is very good and I believe what he said. I've got good plans for the truck if I can get this B S stuff...

Well I have hit another stumbling block. Can anybody please tell me where this heat shild locates? I feel totally STUPID needing to ask such an asinine question. It has been a lot of years since I worked on a Chevy. The shield was not bolted in place when we removed the trannie. I also found two...

I certainly will Mr. Marty. Funny thing is the place I bought it from burned down right after I purchased it. I guess it's mine now regardless. Thanks man, I appreciate your help. Richard

Brother you have no idea. I really like this truck and have put a lot of money and time into it. Not counting all the leaks sprang from busted knuckles and fingers. LOL OUCH. Richard

UPDATE, PROBLEM FOUND!!! My son checked everything I was doing to make sure of the readings we were seeing. Recalibrated the Fluke then we got started. Connected probes to cables, fluke set on 10 amps D.C. When the probes were connected I saw the system be energized with reading of 0.18 and...

Yeah that's what I thought. I still have the starter laying on the table after I repaired it. The first fuseable link I saw was the red wire from the +battery cable to the alternator, but having the alternator unpluged isolates, right? With the starter being removed I would think if there was...

Mr. Marty, which fuseable links are you referencing to? If you can please give me an idea that will be my starting point tomorrow. Will L., that looks like a good tool to have. I don't know any body that works in the service departments now. I kinda lost contact with with them after I left...

Yeah I followed that process for two day, amp meter on passenger side while I pulled fuses and everything else one at a time. It's 3:15 am and I'm studying wiring schematics. Thats just plain sad. Thanks Mr. Marty, please keep this in the back of your head and if you come up with anything else...

I have removed every fuse, relay, breaker, alternator, e c m and every wire I can find. I also removed another 20 ft. of hacked wiring. I don't blame the truck for hating humans, hell I'd hate them to if someone done all of that to me. Look guys, I'm in a rabbit hole here and can't see anything...

Hmmmm, the whole truck has been interesting.

Hey Will, this is a gasser with a single 4000 amp battery. No I did not punch in too many zeros. It's about 150 lbs. if memory serves me correctly. Located in the bed tool box. Damn thing takes up a lot of room with battery box.

After removing the remains of an electrical hack job I still have the 7.5 amp parasitic draw. Pulled all fuses one at a time on the I.P fuse panel and the big box next to the E.C.M. Unplugged three wires on the E.C.M." red white and black. No change. Tomorrow I will remove ecm and unplug them...

Well after all the clean up work I still have a 7.64 parasitic draw. I guess tomorrow I start verifying fuse and breaker amperage and location, then start pulling fuses. On the brighter side I did complete the new power distribution box I dreamed up. After I complete runing the new prestolite...

No sir, I don't have any strength in my left arm and shoulder and need to come up with new ways to perform tasks. It is kinda messed up like the rest of me. A good friend ask me the same question just before this writing. Thank you for thinking about that, if you read a post from me that...

Well the wiring issues are somewhat completed. I say somewhat because I haven't checked the parasitic draw I was seeing. I even found a four foot section of 12-2 romex spliced in under the I.P. I have a lot of wires and relays in the shop floor around the truck so I will gather it all up...

Problem solved, Will you are correct. I looked up KC lights install kit and there it was. Beings I will rewire the lights I can remove this cluster and do it the right way. Thanks to all for your help. I'm sure I will be back. Richard
