Default Making Progress

It was a cold rainy night and had plan to go to the gym, but this car has me excited and felt like fixing and improve some things on the car. Tonight I completely detailed the exterior, next on my list was to fix the tachometer. The first thing I checked was the negative coil terminal. This is the location for the tach and also the distributor connection. What was missing was the brown tachometer wire which feed pulses to the tach which converts the pulses and displays them as RPM's. I searched a little further and found the wire coiled and taped to the harness and hidden. Started the car with it running reconnected the tach wire and it works perfect. Not sure why it was disconnected unless it caused an ignition problem previously. Last I adjusted the close limit switch on passenger side head light actuator door.

Next project is the interior.....
