As part of the engine compartment cleanup I pulled the wiring harness right back to the firewall, and in the process I had to disconnect the dreaded Lucar connectors over top of the fender arch, and

Hi Stu, Joe Lucas will get his dues one way or the other... What I've seen happen sometimes is that the solder wicks into the wire a little ways, and then it creates a high-stress zone where the wire

Hi Steve, To hotwire the ignition, you just need to provide a bypass connection between the 12V going into the switch (the brown wire), and the ignition circuit that is connected when you turn the sw

Hey Tod, Most likely, it's the tach ground itself. When you run the engine with the lights off, the tach is getting its ground path via the light bulb in the tach, and then when you turn the lights o

Tigers have 4 on 4 1/4" wheel lug spacing, which is common to many cars in the older Ford lineup - the Mustang II, Pinto, and Capri all used the same bolt pattern, and the back spacing of their OEM w

Good find, Bob. For the Tiger, you want a 10 volt regulator, and preferably one that can operate with only 2 volts of "headroom" (i.e. the difference between the input and output voltages). It is als

Hi Steve, The Flamethrower II coil has a primary (low-voltage) resistance of 0.6 ohms. That means if you connect it directly across 12V and ground, it will pull 20 amps and dissipate 240 watts. This

The ammeter will definitely get warmer the more current you push through it, exactly as Bob describes, but not to 190 degrees, unless you're driving it way beyond its rating. What I've been trying t

That's correct, but that is not how an ammeter is supposed to be wired (at least not when it's used in a vehicle application). On the Tiger, you should have a 10 gauge wire running from the battery c
