It look like you may have found what killed your first stabilizer -- a short circuit in one of the instruments or senders. I would suggest disconnecting the power then putting an ohmmeter on the lin

Thanks John for inadvertently bringing up a topic that I have always wondered about: The "half year." When I bought my '70 B-GT I was told that it is a 69.5 model. My question is this: Is the "74 and

David makes a valid argument (thanks) and I did burn the old fuel in my '79 "B", with methyl alcohol added to make the water miscible. There was very little water in the tank (1/2 pint?). However, my

1100 to 1900 is a ratio of about .6. Allowing for error, this sounds like what would happen if your meter was set for 6 cyl. rather than four. 4 to 6 is a ratio of about .7. Just a thought... rick
