Hello everyone. The car is a '59 TR3A. Both brake lights and fuel gauge not working. Power to the brake switch. Wipers and Turn signals both work, so the connections to the fuse must be okay. So ques

Hi Terry, Try a very easy test, open the fuel filler cap and try again. If that doesn't tell you something, disconnect the fuel line at the carbs and see if you get a good strong flow from the fuel p

A typo? Float bowls should have gas in them, engine won't run without gas. If the bowls are running dry, you've got a fuel delivery problem. Not that I know of. I installed a Pertronix, had it runni

Thanks, Randall. You are, of course, right on about doing tests. Trouble is, this has been an intermittent problem that can test fine at one moment or another and I never know which state it's in at

Good suggestion, Keith. Thanks. Yep, did try that. And Voltage to the coil checks at 12.3 volts. At this point, after the engine sits for about ten or so minutes, it'll start and rev quickly, then co
