    loudspeaker for CB/scanner need wiring input.

    I am trying to figure out how to rewire the harness that will go from a non-MIL radio (CB or Scanner) to a LS-671/VRC Speaker. I have standard CB civvy speakers; but I wanted to use the 671. I have looked over the schematics and it looks like the MIL Cable I have can be utilized by cutting off...

    Hood insulation install

    Lay the insulation down and be sure of fitment before you attempt to spray the adhesive on. Mark the corners and sides with a marker to help guide the final lay-in. Use a thin (bamboo) skewer to mark each "hole" as you go. Leave the skewer in each hole until all are accounted for. The adhesive...

    VIC 1 in the M37

    ke6rwj, Thanks for the help. I'll go ahead and doctor up a cable to fit the other end of the CX-13292/VRC cable (I'd like the speaker to have an authentic look even though it terminates to only a VHF scanner). Can you verify what I can use for the +12volt/-12volt inputs. I was going to just...

    VIC 1 in the M37

    ke6rwj, I followed the link you provided. Basically it is this: [CODE]Properly interfacing this speaker into 12volt radio, will require the use of an isolation circuit to prevent the 24volt system from harming the 12volt radios. example interfaces can be seen in integrating with other...

    28MT replacement starter

    I have threads and threads regarding these. For the money, I could not resist. I bought one off the bay from Caltric. It is a chinese middleman from LA area.

    flasher stays lit with headlights...

    I posted the same inquiry a few months back. Last week I had the cluster out to switch the RED leds back to white. I noticed that the big wiring harness that energizes the cluster had a very short lead and that it had to be pivoted into the cluster connector bottom first. (reverse of how I...

    etvchicago, I, like many here, have had starter problems with my Blazer. If you review my threads (many :-(), you'll see that I have asked the same questions you are asking.

    What do your neighbors and other drivers think of your CUCV

    I don't really give a flying fig what they think. There are always those that come out and let you know what they are thinking. I don't speed through my neighborhood. I have many very wealthy neighbors that have politically correct wheels. Some have top drawer rides and only see mine when they...

    instrument panel causing these probs

    Just finished doctoring my tired Cluster Circuit "board". Ran down to Radio Shack and bought a Conductive Pen to trace all the circuit traces that were broken or questionable. Pulled the lamp holders and bent the ears out to give them better purchase in the holes. The bulb clamps in each socket...
