Good Day All Not being one to leave well enough alone, I would like to upgrade my low beam head light relay on the '65 Newport to a time delay. The system, as it stands now, has 4 terminal relays, the plugs are the five cavity style. If I understand the internet searches, I would need a 5...

Good Day All Not wanting to hijack other threads on this, so here is one more on the ammeter bypass. What is the difference between the method that cbarge outlined (adding an additional wire from the alt stud to the starter relay), and the procedure where you run two wires directly to...

Good Day All With the 'Party Barge" ('65 Newport ) nearing completion, I dumped 5 gallon into the tank. A check of the fuel gauge shows nothing - no movement. Wiring shows continuity from the dash to the sending unit. A test light, however, shows nothing. I have several (used) dash...

Good Day All Helping a friend trying to resurrect a '59 Imperial convertible. This car was brought to his shop in pieces (MANY boxes). I am helping with the wiring. A "Painless" harness was purchased, so that is our starting point. We do have a FSM with schematics. This car is equipped with...

Happy Friday to All Chasing an annoying electrical gremlin on a '65 Newport. The oil light will not illuminate when the ignition switch is on or accessory. It will flash when you turn the switch off. I have grounded the lead (single gray wire) from the sender with no change. With the wire...

Good Afternoon All After a long winters nap, the 'Party Barge' (65 Newport) is being readied for spring. the motor was rebuilt, new valve seals, block cleaned inside and out. I re-installed the motor and it fired right up after a 1/4 rank on the starter. Timing set, carb tweaked, valve covers...

I have been reading on this forum about the alternator gauge bypass with some interest. It seems that late 60's and early 70's era models are the most affected. I can understand why as the alternator wires were routed through the bulkhead multi terminal connectors. I have in the past had late...

Good Day All I am cleaning up the man cave. Sorting/condensing and pitching things that the statute of limitations has expired. I found some AGC/SFE type fuses that are marked 250 volt. The question is: Can these be safely used in a 12 volt system? The amperage is correct. An internet search...

Good Day All It raining (again) in NW Ohio, so it will be off to the man-cave to work on the 'Party Barge' ('65 Newport). The motor and interior are out, so I figured that this would be an opportune time to get some electrical issues sorted out. Here is the question: What do I need to do...

Good Day Recently acquired a clock for the "Party Barge'. Problem is there is no lead to plug the power into, just a approx 7/16 hole in the back of the case. This isn't the light socket hole. Does anyone have a picture of what this lead looks like? The SM indicates that it is a gray wire...

Good Day All Recently acquired a 58K 1965 Newport. Drove it from Wisconsin to NW Ohio with no issues. Now that it is home, I'm dealing with some annoying electrical gemlins. First, the P.O. apparently tried to take the horn switch apart. The problem was that the ground wire had broken at...
