So I had to remove my rear wheel to get the correct positioning for the fuel line. Going to put the tire back on but can't fine the recommended torq for the lugs in the operation and maintenance data.

Searched the sire,and nothing popped up.

Anybody know the proper torq for wheel lugs on 37 120?

Happy memorial day!

Looking to remove my rear tire. I got the lugs off but the tire is not coming off easily. Maybe it needs some more force or
Does the center nut with the cotter pin need to be removed? Is that holding it in pace as well?

Blanche has been fed Ethanol free gas for her entire life. My grandmother was religious about it, and my uncle was as well. I have a bit of a travel to get ethanol free gas, so i buy it 10 gals at a time using containers.

Looking to go to a high octane, and add an ethanol remover, such as Biobor EB.

Any thoughts on this or recommendations, if I go this route?

Was going through my files and came across this picture from 1979. My grandmother in the driver seat her best friend standing and her friends daughter in the back seat. Blanche kind of looks the same except she has white walls now.

V-I-C-T-O-R-Y!!!!!!!! That was for sure a test of my patience. I thought I was going crazy a couple of times with that one.

OK, so it was a reversal of wires. I spoke with Gene at YnZ and talk to him about the IGN over the right bolt. He said yes, that indicates that is where the #6 wire goes (from the ignition) and the sending unit goes to the other. His instructions did say the reverse, but as he said that was not the first time they were incorrect.

So. 2 things left before she comes off the blocks.

1. Finish up gluing down the weather striping on the convertible top.
2. Front left turn signal needs a new wire, as the original had a cold solder.

Cheers
Ben

Ok. I dropped the tank to go back to the beginning of install
1. Removed the sending unit to test
2. I tested Ohms on sender 0-33 and gauge 32. So these are the same range which is good.
3. Tries different gauge wires for the ground no change.
4. Cleaned up the posts in the back of the gauge. What I noticed where some letters.

Not sure if these mean anything or not.

If you zoom in and look above the post on the right I see letters IGN. This is the right post.

I have the sending unit connected to this post per the instructions.

Do we think the ING is stamped to sho it is the ignition switch side?
Or
Is it marked to show this should be the post connected to the ignition switch?

If the latter it would be reverse of the instructions.

Gene at YnZ said I should switch them if the posts were marked but did not know what the mark would be?

So it may be a stretch but that is where I am at.

Not sure if there is potential damage if I were to reverse the wires in a trial and error?

I think this was Dons original thought?

Thoughts appreciated as always!!

Thx TxGoat. So the gas gauge does have power going into it on the Passenger side terminal from the ignition switch. And I get a hot read there. I tested the Gas Gauge with an Ohm reader and it shows activity when touching both sides after removing the wires. Since the Gauge is getting power in, should this in turn be showing power "out" through the Sender wire? Key is turned to on position.
