So while I am waiting for parts to arrive for the compensator, I replaced the control assembly unit as I have another that tests fine.( thanks HH56 for that lesson)I will test this one that I removed at a later date. Then I decided to remove the wiring harness going back to the compensator/leveler to inspect it and re-tape or repair as needed. to do that I removed the vacuum tank, and discovered it had a large amount of fluid/oil in it. where would this come from? the hose traces back to the carburetor it looks like. I have been searching on the forum but nothing I can find addresses what I am seeing. can someone point me in the right direction? as I was removing the wiring harness I also discovered the 30 amp fuse was good, but where the 7.5 should be was a 14 amp fuse(part of the issue perhaps??) I also saw a large (loose)yellow wire going from the brake light switch into the firewall and under the dash, will get photos of it tomorrow. it appears to go to a mechanical switch off the steering column to the brake pedal. this car hasn't moved in almost 50 years so that surprised me.
