Voltage regulator wire harness connection
While troubleshooting a RFI issue in the radio of my '65 Comet with headlights on I found that my voltage regulator wire harness connection at the voltage regulator has a female wire terminal missing from inside the molded harness connector. This terminal would normally be plugged into the top "I" o...

Re: Wiring Harness Restoration Service
I spoke about Randy and how he helped me with my under dash courtesy light in my April 25, 2020 post. Randy does great work and is an asset to the old car hobby. I would recommend Randy to anyone needing help with their wiring questions.

Re: Under-Dash Courtesy Light
I needed this light to complement the driver’s side that I already had. The black/blue 3-terminal female connector was present near the fuse panel but for whatever reason there was no light! I have a 2-wire yellow/green female connector near the black/blue 3-terminal connector that I believe powers ...

Under-Dash Courtesy Light
I wanted to recognize Randy at Midlife Harness Restoration for his quality workmanship and super customer service. My ‘65 Caliente convertible had an existing under-dash courtesy light on the driver’s side but not on the passenger side. I reached out to Randy via email with my problem. Randy was sup...

Re: Door Open Light Location?
Kevin, Thanks for your reply. I wasn’t able to view any of your links, they all seem to be invalid. So you have a passenger side under dash courtesy light in your convertible? Does the power on yours come from the passenger door light switch? It should also tie into the headlight switch to come on w...

Re: Door Open Light Location?
Kevin, Although I haven't seen one installed, I would think a good location would be to the right of the steering column since the emergency brake one would most likely be installed to the left of the steering column. A neat find indeed. Have you installed it yet? BTW, do you have a floor board cour...

Re: Engine Gauge Feed Wire Harness
Thanks Joe. I emailed Randy at Midlife some last week and he seems like a respectable guy. I will probably use him in the near future.

Engine Gauge Feed Wire Harness
Hello Folks, I am looking for the proverbial needle in a haystack! There's nothing wrong with the engine gauge feed harness in my '65 Caliente convertible, 200/6, alternator, 2-speed heater other than old age and me wanting to replace it with a new harness or get my current one refurbished. C5GY-142...

Re: Disc Brake Conversion a 1963 - Quite a few Questions
First off you have a nice looking 2 door hardtop! I like the color! The biggest limitation with the 6cyl cars are the narrow (4.5IN) 4 lug wheels. Most of the disc conversion kits you will find require a minimum 5IN wheel width. The 4.5IN wheels are just too narrow for the caliper to clear the wheel...

Re: Disc Brake Conversion
I pulled the front drums off this weekend and inspected the shoes, hoses, cylinders, drums, hubs, etc. The only thing concerning I saw was fine hairline cracking in the shoes. There are no leaks from the hose connections or cylinders, and the hoses look fairly new, the drums looked ok but I don't ha...

Re: Disc Brake Conversion
Your best bet would be to find a set of late 60s 4 lug wheels...by 68/69 all the wheels were designed with disc brakes in mind. Thanks Joe, Hadn't really thought of that but I may! You could probably change the hoses & fix those problems. sounds like the hoses are swelled in. Thanks Johno, I haven'...

Disc Brake Conversion
I'm interested in doing a front disc brake conversion on my '65 Caliente with 200 6cyl, stock 4 lug 14IN wheels, and auto tranny. Currently the front suspension is all stock and I'm not interested in converting to V8 5 lug gear. Some of the vendor sites say minimum wheel width needs to be 5IN. With ...
