Hi guys, did someone from you have a two-circuit warning flash switch from Hella? He has the terminals 30, 15, 49s, 31, 54f, r, l I have 30 on permanent plus, 15 on switched plus, 31 on mass 49s is plus for flash relays and brake light switch L I have at the steering pole switch outlet for front and rear left R steering pole switch outlet for front and rear right. 54f lt drawing comes to the output of the brake light switch, but somehow has no effect? Not sure what should happen with the original output cable. I.e. whether it is to be disconnected, or whether it remains and 54f is to be clamped to it. It works as far as possible, but of course the flashers light up at the front of the brake, as the cables go together for front and rear to the R or L terminal of the warning flash switch. On the circuit diagram it looks as if the warning flash switch should only be connected to the front steering stick switch outputs. Not because the rear ones don’t get electricity, so each lamp has its own circuit.

hello to everyone. I have a problem with my 390 engine and despair slowly. here are the rim data of the vehicle and the engine: mercury colony park, year of construction 1964 390 engine, slightly modified with sharper camshaft and larger pistons, among others 600 edelbrock carburetor (new) pertronix ignition III ignition distributor with ignition coil and digital adjustable speed limiter the following problem has the car. after a short drive the mercury does not take the gas anymore and only from a best immten speed, which depends on the motor temperature. at the beginning I can turn it to approx. 3000 u/min, with increasing motor temperature the maximum possible speed drops to approx. 2400 u/min. the c6 transmission is in the 3rd gear. (three-speed automatic). I then go from the gas and keep it lowers the setters. I then have to reduce the gas even further until it settles again. one remains manually in the 2nd gear, the speed increases, which can be reached, at the beginning 3500 u/min and then decreases accordingly. it seems as if it runs into an imaginary speed limiter, whose limit is always lower, the warmer the motor becomes. the pertronix module of the speed limit with the red leuchtdiode seems to be defective, at least you can no longer initialize the thing after specification. another hint: ignition cables, candles, distribution cap, fingers are new. the wiring of all components is correct. the carburettor is new. petrol filter and pump can be excluded. the motor gets enough sprite in every area. in principle it runs well to very well. the motor willingly hangs on the gas. the electronic cold start automatic of the edelbrock works perfectly. my workshop master and I are with our Latin at the end. has any of you ever had problems with defective pertronix ignition distributors or related components? can the defective module or the flotation force adjustment or the ignition coil trigger such symptoms? am grateful about every tip.

Hello together, Since my cars arrive on Tuesday (hopefully), I would like to take care of the conversion and acceptance/approval, insurance etc.. Primarily it is about the Olds (1966 oldsmobile dynamic 88 convertible) I have already read some things in the search, but some things are still a bit unclear to me. – Headlights. I know that the new ones have to be equipped with e-examination machines. But what exactly does this look like? Do I really have to change the complete headlight incl. scatter disks? Where do you get such a thing, so that it fits as much as possible without having to destroy /bore something on the original etc.? Does someone have a tip for a good source of supply? Then the topic reflectors: do I use red in the back, right? – Do you also need special? – is there at least size? – can I just glue them with double-sided tape? – red turn signals can be left at 66er Bj, if I understand that correctly. – Then I still have curvature lights in the fender that are activated when you turn the bl Can they stay or do they have to be deactivated? – I was told by one from the US workshop that you have to insert the VIN into the sheet metal, because the “plate” as it is typical in the USA is not recognized. Is that right? If so, where does it have to be struck? – Fog rear lamp does not need it. – how is this with rear-view lights? – how with standing light? Then another question about insurance: For a classic car insurance company, I break an expert report, right? Ha b at klassik Data. There are 2 different reviews (150euro) and detailed (350 euros). Which I need there. Many questions! I hope for many answers 🙂 Thanks already! Greetings Marc

Hello, I play like so many others also with the idea of getting myself a US classic. I know that you are constantly being annoyed with something like this here in the forum, but I am not concerned here with a purchase consultation, but about whether the thought of such a car makes any sense in my case at all. And indeed I only have a garage, with us parking spaces are scarce, and half a year I do not want to give up on the car either, therefore only the use as a year-round everyday car would come with me in question. But: is such a thing reasonable at all? The value of such a car is definitely in the 5-digit € range, and I guess that such a car with an old original US paint etc. was not particularly preserved rust? And is such a car with a thick engine at the front and little weight at all in winter? At the moment I drive a 4.3 liter Mercedes with rear drive, but it has at least real winter tires and ESP, that makes me quite clear in winter. is also very rusty, but I could imagine that it is even worse with US cars… I already have a little experience with body welding and rust prevention, but repaint the whole car and scratch and rust each year in constant worry about the H-approval and I don’t really want what do you mean?

Dear Forum Members Since I am looking for a Cadillac Eldorado in 1969 or 1970, I need your experience here. I found a black Eldorado on Autoscout24, in supposedly “excellent” condition and now I wanted to ask if the gentlemen here have experience with this car:http://www.autoscout24.de/Details.aspx?id=l2dvlpnllglp And can someone give me information about what diseases this Eldorado has – if Is that what you’re talking about?

Hello everyone, after now 12 years of driving licence possession I want to finally fulfill my dream of the US car. Had a Mazda 626 (91er), Rover 420 Si Lux (98er), MB 400SE W140 (92er) and now my commuter car a Skoda Superb 1.9 TDi. In my eye I have a Lincoln Town Car from 1997. This should be very reliable, thanks to Panther platform and simple technology. Now there are a few questions to clarify which I still have to open: 1. Can I have a vehicle which may be very reliable, thanks to Panther platform and simple technology. On the other hand, it is not possible to use the standard for this purpose, but it is not possible to use the standard for this purpose. Is it not possible to use the standard for this purpose, but it is not possible to use the standard for this purpose, since it is not possible to use the standard for this purpose. In the case of the LTC, it is not possible to use the standard for this purpose. In the case of the LTC, it is not possible to use the standard for this purpose.
