Update on the voltage stabiliser thing. 72 midget.
Llyn Allen sent me a drawing using two 5 volt regulator
ic's from Radio Shack. Put it together and receive a
constant 10 volt output. Works the nuts!
However, the fuel gauge still doesn't work. I believe it to
be in the sending unit. I'll drop the tank at the weekend
and do some more tests.
Thanks, Llyn.
I did get the Lucas RB106 voltage regulator box to work.
First sentence in the book says to check for a good earth
from the E terminal on the box to a good clean earth. What's
the last thing I did? And can you guess what the problem
was?
On the topic of Lucas black boxes: I have noticed all the
Haynes manuals for almost all the cars I have indicate in
the wiring diagrams that the A terminal on the box is the
first terminal, yet, the cover to the box seems to indicate
that the first slot goes to A1. (I don't have the box here,
but, you get the drift.)One wiring diagram (MGZB) shows
three brown wires coming off the A and A1 posts. No trace
colours.
