SAAC Forum

Any results posted or announced for the Concours judging at SAAC 43? It looked like one GT350 and a GT 500KR convertible being judged.

Thanks, Jim

Did the entire hood pin bracket assembly ( bracket, Dzus wire, and steel rivets) come painted semi-gloss black as a complete unit or was just the bracket painted?

Thank you,

Jim

Did A.O. Smith apply any paint over the area where the roll bar is welded to the body? My car has some strange paint over that area.

Thank you,

Jim

I have relatively new wiring and dynamite sticks (6 yrs old) and correct 323 flasher and the tail lights have been working great until recently. I am using the standard bulbs (no led). The left side works correctly in all modes- stop, running lights and sequential flashing. On the right side the stop and running light function work fine, but the turn signal sequential flashing is intermittent. When the bulbs are cold, the inner and middle lamp light but do not flash and the outer lamp does not light. I have repeatedly checked the ground and that looks good. If the rear lights have been on for awhile and the bulbs are warm, all three bulbs light and sequence nicely. I am guessing the warm bulb has a higher resistance and that factors into the operation. I also checked for voltage on that socket with the bulb removed and measured about 6 volts.

Any ideas or suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,
Jim

Yesterday a fellow owner asked me the reason why Mustangs/Cougars had the higher front end and I didn't have a good answer. I am guessing there might be an engineering reason rather than a marketing reason. Period drag cars ran with the nose higher for weight transfer. Same reason here?

Thanks,

Jim
