DAT510 Posted December 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 I really hate being Dattoless. But I can live with it, the tail light panel is replaceable and my plan is to eventually use bluebird lights. His skill level is down there with the dip shits and him trying to fix it will only make it worse. Its not a shop, just some random guy. Quote Link to comment
DAT510 Posted January 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 I cut off a filler neck from a newer car, and im trying to retrofit it to my 510. So far, everything went smooth. I forgot to take pics of the final product, but I need fuel safe hose to join the steel pipe to the gas tank. ZX wheels are growing on me Quote Link to comment

DAT510 Posted February 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 I was looking for something in the garage and stumbled upon a box full of happiness! It has the timing chain guides, tensioner, some front suspension bushings, everything i've needed! Even included a tach! 8k... I wish. Thought this was pretty cool My hands are always in the most awkward positions.. :sneaky: I got the wiring ready, Almost didn't find it. It was tucked in there pretty nice all done Old Craftsman tool box with JCP tools :confused: Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 You put a 1970 tach in 1971+ cluster... Notice the circle on the speedo, but not on the tach? Also notice the needle color. You need to find the white needle gauges, and make it all match. Quote Link to comment
DAT510 Posted February 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 I dont mind that its not matching, it looks better than the idiot lights. Im having trouble wiring the tach though. As soon as I turn the switch to the on position, the tach pegs out at 8k. Doesnt matter if the inductive wire loop is hooked or not. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Not wired backwards? Im not even sure that makes sense. Quote Link to comment
DAT510 Posted February 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Nope, Green to switchable +12v, black to ground. It beats me honestly. Im gonna look at my wiring diagram Quote Link to comment
SupDoc Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 ZX wheels are growing on me Mine came with the sames wheels. Trying to figure out how to clean them up. Unfortunately, has corrosion underneath the clearcoat. May just have to bead blast them and go with the matte look. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 The white needle and early orange needle tachs use an inductive pickup to detect the signal. These have two white wires that are connected in series with the coil. They should be wired as follows: · Black wire to ground · Green wire to +12 V · Two white wires in series to the negative side of the coil. If it does not work try reversing the two white wires.

Thats exactly what I did. The needle just shot straight to 8k. Except while cranking though. Quote Link to comment
