    Electrical issue

    I think if I can find a donor that has a decent harness I can get, I may go that route. I'll have to look a little deeper. Most of the salvage yards that I have been to in the past act like they don't know what they have. Then want you to pay a few bucks to go take a look to see if they have...

    Electrical issue

    Everything under the hood was a mess. I have sorted most of that out. But it is still ugly. Under the dash, there are splices upon splices. some good, most not so much. I have been looking at a couple donor trucks, but then a part of me wants to fix those up as well. That's why I was wondering...

    Electrical issue

    I have a 85 w150 with 4 speed and a 318. When I bought the truck I knew it some wiring issues. Mostly with the ignition. Truck would start and run, but the person who owned it before me did some not so good re-work. No as I'm trying to make everything work as I need it. Stuff like lights, turn...

    1985 Dodge W150 fun!

    Well the saga of BS parts continue. The new plug wires I received at first glance looked great. That was until I tried to take the Number 1 plug wire off. I wasn't getting spark so I was going to try to find TDC, and make sure everything lined up, and I didn't somehow bump the distributer in all...

    Well, the coil that was in the truck was bad, no spark. Tried an old coil I had laying around from my tractor. Got a spark from that. It was weak, but a spark none the less. So I ordered the "correct" coil. It came in with all the oil that is supposed to be inside the coil, everywhere but there...

    Trust me, if the turn signal switch was worth saving I would. But ar $17, I can live with that.

    So, the turn signal switch is garbage, new one on order. The amp meter in the dash is also toast. I believe that's where the smoke came from. I have that bypassed for now. But from what I understand, the amp meter is junk anyways. I will be getting some after market gauges to replace with later...

    Found my truck

    Nice truck, I was looking for a sweptline when I found my current truck. If the brakes work, I wouldn't mess with them to much. You'll still stop. That is if your ok with stopping on a dime, two quarters and a hand full of nickels!!! The Poly is a good motor. There are a few go fast parts...

    Well, I put crack pipe away. Opened a bottle of beer and went to work. Got everything wired up as correctly as I can tell from the schematics. Now I got the engine to turn over, that part sounded great. But it would not fire. More beer, lots of U.S. Navy language!!! Yes I was a sailor. Found out...

    1985 Dodge W150 fun!

    It's been awhile since I put in an update. So here it is... I have been working on the wiring issues. Looks like whom ever worked on the pickup got the engine side bulkhead connector out of a 6 cylinder automatic truck with cruise control. Not that it matters but the wire labels on some of the...

    Well mine doesn't have the cool blue lock thingy like in the other thread. But I can see the lock tabs with the gasket removed. Slip in a small flat head and the wires fall right out.

    1985 Dodge W150 fun!

    Yes that helps alot. I was looking at the rubber pad thingy on the inside but didn't take it out. Now I will and see what fun things I will find. I will take picks of my progress and post them here for all to see. Thanks again for everyone's help. I'm quite sure I will need more in the future!

    Now is there a correct way to remove these, or just pushing with a pair of needle nose the correct way. Thanks

    This is the type of terminal in the plug. I dont know if I got it out the correct way, but I get this one out. I was also able to put it nack in and it locks.

    Well, I checked the connector, and I don't have those type of terminls in it. I know the pictures I took don't show them, but they are solid.
