Since I continue to discover surprises in what started out as recharging the air conditioning, which added replacing 2 of the 3 vacuum actuators and the mode control switch.
Now I attempted to get the backup lights to work.
Checked and verified a good ground at the lamp housing.
Bypassed the switch at the transmission and got illuminated bulbs.
Replaced the NSS/backup light switch and no change.
Ordered a 69 Rooster comb, I suspect it to be a 68 or earlier part.
Replaced the fuel tank sending unit with an NOS part. Fuel gauge is dead on E.
Measured resistance with about 2-3 gallons and it read about 20 ohms.
Drove her to the gas station and put Ethanol-free fuel.
After putting fuel in, resistance was ~25 ohms (I believe), which is good, as the resistance changed when fuel was added.
I am going to locate the instrument +5v regulator and see if that helps.
I also am going to have to investigate why the turn signal cancellation is not occurring.
I will post updates in response to this post as I correct things.
