box electrical mods

Does anyone know the resistance and limits to the OE oil pressure gauge? I am looking to add one to my 78' on top of the existing low pressure light. With that I would like to get a VDO or Kus sender with the M14x1.5 threads. These have both the sender and light attachments to eliminate the...

Any tell tale clues whether my car has the Brown wire mod? The person I bought the car from surmised that it would have the mod as it was put together by Chris Obert but I’m not sure how to tell. Currently trying to figure out why my voltage is as low as it is. Car is in my neighbor’s garage and...

I know this has been posted before, but couldn’t find it. I’m looking for the correct flasher for LED turn signal conversion. I bought a CF13, but the output for the dash indicator is negative and needs to be positive.

I know this question has been asked about several times, and I have ready through quite a few threads on this forum in relation to the brown wire MOD and many other alterations. I would like to do this modification on my 1987 model. However my fuse box is the newer version out of the 2 fuse...

Didn't someone like Bob Brown find a nice retrofit LED third brake light for our cars? I'm upgrading my tail lights to LED and it would be nice to do the third brake light too. It would also be nice to have one that doesn't famously block rearward vision! I was searching around but couldn't...

I installed a 2000 Nissan Frontier alternator in my X 1/9 and I was able to mount it easily using the stock pivot mount. The alternator pulley was in alignment with the water pump pulley after I installed a 7mm spacer and a longer pivot bolt. The best part was that I didn't have to alter any of...

On the 79....we have both the instrument cluster lighting switch (photo attached) & the panel light rheostat. In looking at the wiring diagrams, it appears that the instr. cluster switch is an OFF-LOW-HIGH function for the instrument cluster ONLY and the panel light rheostat is for the fiber...

I know you guys like pictures, so I have a lot of them. This is a long story - Back in November I blew the head gasket in my 84 X. The car was missing the shields that cover the accessory belts and back of the engine; as such I would never drive it in the rain. I decided to take the car to...

As I'm about to add various circuit improvements (relays, BWM, uncovering the dash backlight switch & hazard switch previously buried behind a custom center console by the PO, reviving some switch backlighting, etc.) on my 1979 X1/9, I've found myself slightly baffled by the light switch...

These are the schematics I made up from all the wonderful contributors on the XWeb and based on my mods for the year specific. Hope it helps someone! (4 full size pictures to follow) Here is the set up in my car This picture is entire set up. The next picture is focused in on the relays...

Hello everyone. Here are schematics I did up for the switch over. I am also publishing videos on YouTube at Craig Sheppard. Hope this helps someone as all the contributors in this forum have helped me.

So I have replaced the turn, brake, reverse and marker lights with LED.....and I cannot get the turn signals to work.... I have tried various LED Flasher relays and none have fixed the issue. I got the bulbs from SuperbrightLED. I have not installed resistors in the lines... But I was under...

Already done "Zonker's Mod" to Fuse A/1. Gauge reads from 10 to 16 V, normally in the center, 13 Volts +/-. Yesterday, I got caught out in the rain. #1 Put on Targa lid, Roll up windows and turn on FAN. Meter drops about a Volt. Raindrops on the windshield. Turn on wipers. Low barely...

Bought this 13 ATC fuse block from Ladapower: http://www.ladapower.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id=2501&virtuemart_category_id=46...

As part of my overall K20 swap project, I am doing a full shell up restoration of my '81. I acquired a late model Bertone fuse box and most of the wiring harness a few years ago and my plan is to use that for the new wiring harness for my project. Whoever harvested the harness was in a hurry...

why didn't I think of this when I had the car apart? I could have taken a late model wiper system and adopted it.... I remember the old JC whitney kit, and was wondering what the electrical gurus here would think is possible....I would like a simple knob on the dash that goes from "no delay" to...

I found a web site in the Ukraine that sells parts for Ladas; many of which are interchangeable with Fiats. I took a chance and ordered some parts and was very pleasantly surprised. Even got some complimentary chocolates in the shipment. The oil pressure sender was less than $10. Same for...

I mentioned this awhile back because I read on here where someone had done this except with a 12 to 16.5 step up voltage converter. I found the thread in the archives but they never posted any photos, diagrams, videos, etc. Then they just disappeared. I've owned my 124 Spider for almost 24...

Hey 'yall... (my car is a non AC '82, FI North American version - Canadian market) I finally got around to installing my version of the Headlight Relay mod (insertable, no cut wires) and I added a Cooling Fan relay mod as well. I have a single fan. I added an 8AWG wire from the battery to a...

Working on Mac's black X I found the biggest deterrent to driving it now is the intermittent electrical, I cleaned the fuses and contacts and still had intermittent connections at the fuses so I came up with a permanent solution. A little searching and I found some Hella 8 position ATC/AGO fuse...
