  2. greetings i have a vintage YANKEE TURNFLEX TURN SIGNAL PART NUMBER 730/6 WITH ONLY 4WIRES, WHICH I FIND VERY UNUSAL AS GOOGLED MOST WIRING DIAGRAMS ARE FOR 7 WIRES FOR THE 730/6. IM TRYING TO HOOK IT UP TO MY 48 FORD F2 (6 VOLT SYSTEM) THE WIRES ARE GREEN/BLUE/BLACK/YELLOW. IVE ATTACHED PICS OF THE UNIT. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
  3. i am trying to hook up a new (used) amp gauge to my 48 ford f2 pickup with a postive ground 6 v system. as the pics show it has two allegator clips. i tried hooking it to the voltage regutor batt connection and the other side to the generator but get big sparks and smoke. anyone know how to properly hoiok up this thing? thanks for your help and interest.
  4. come to find out it was from an old miltary truck
  5. can someone tell me anything about this old turn signal switch? see (pcs) i cant seem to find a wiring diagram to hook it up or anything on it other than probably from 30's
  6. Can someone please help me identify this old antique turn signal switch I purchased off eBay? And maybe what type of vehicle it was installed on? It has like eight wires, all black coated.
  7. 48 ford f2 with a stromberg 94 i barrel carb, idles ok but lately spits and sputters at higher speeds driving. i try adjusting hand choke it evens out for a few seconds then back to hesitation and bogging down. i recently did a full tuneup ,plugs,wires,points,condensor,cap and rebult fuel pump. i wonder if i didnt set points correctly or something?
  8. i've been a buyer and seller on ebay for years and have bought 90% of my ole gal (48 ford)parts and have turned around and sold old car/truck parts from swap meets/flea markets and picked and pulled stuff...without any significant trouble in my particular catagory(48 ford)85 dodge ram(65 elcamino) some catagory's of vintage vehicles are unfortunately a lot to be desired because of their general scarcisty . i just save the search option in "my ebay" and check email me with alerts when new parts are auctioned and check daily.
  9. I installed an original outside mirror on my ole gal that i found on ebay!
  10. I had a similar problem with my 48 ford f2, i drained radiator and flushed then changed thermostats and added a aftermarket overflow vottle, i think the over flow bottle was the trick though seems it was boiling over and loosing water/coolant causing it to overheat, the overflow obviously retains the coolant now and it runs butifully!

I t could be maybe the gauge is faulty itself which is why I get no reading or just my own stupidity so i bought another and aim to hook it up when arrives and want to be sure im going about it right. Ive provided pics to show back of gauge to illicit any help out there please!<!-- google_ad_section_end --> <FIELDSET class=fieldset><LEGEND>Attached Thumbnails</LEGEND> </FIELDSET></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

  14. Greetings, my 48 ford f2,(4spd) speedometer dial did a quick flip up and down and suddenly quit,how do i go about checking to see where it is damaged and replace?
  15. I bought an antique veh. back in 2004 in Illinois. (not running) and have since restored it and now want to get inspection and license but Missouri lic. office says I owe back deliquent sales taxes (ouch!)I was given a form ST-556 from the dealer at the time from Illinois called a sales tax transaction return showing exempt as a out of state buyer. Does this form neeed to be presented to Missouri lic. office to get me a break here?
