Mine just does not turn to the left. Put in the ol paper clip - nothing. I replacing the wiring harness and was wondering if I should just drill it out?

Thanks Paul! Being new to the game, I spend a ton of time researching. Your responses on this and a bunch of others I’ve read on the forum are always detailed and very helpful!

Update: stated today. Seal is a wreck and in fact part of the bearing fell out. BUT, the axle is stuck in there! Tried the flipping of the drum etc. went to loan a slide hammer they were out. Will be back at it tomorrow.

Thank you B RON CO, I’m still learning but taking all in stride.

That was crazy. Driving and then overwhelmed with a burning oil smell. Back right tire has a dark oil all over it (inside) and its burning on the drum brake. Any suggestions on where to start. Other than taking it apart :). Thought I heard a pop when driving but could just be in my head.

It turned out to be a grounding issue and swapped some cables. Good news is, I learned a lot about my starter. Thank you everyone - all the tips helped me locate the issue!

Replaced the battery, then the starter solenoid, then the starter. Nothing one click then is dead for a couple minutes. Will let me try again after a minute or so then one click and then all is dead again. I’ll put a meter on the solenoid tomorrow. Could the 12v coil not even let the starter...

Thanks - I'll start there.

thank you for the replies! they really do help a new owner like me. i changed the voltage regulator, tested the battery at idle - back to normal. but now....its miss firing or just running like it almost wants to die. the ammeter almost always reads d15 now, but at idle will jump between c15...

So it magically "fixed" itself on the drive home - which might be even worse. Put a meter on it - battery is fine. Right up to the point where I start it - jumps to 16v almost 17v. Add it to the list. Thanks for the reply!

Amp meter. It has always been fine. Just this morning, turned the truck off and hear a clicking and the amp meter is jumping around? Was going to replace voltage regulator as a start, but I haven't messed w any electrical (on purpose). I'll check the wiring and ground on the gauge as well.

Not an electrical troubleshooter.....The voltage gauge is clicking and jumping - when the truck is turned off? Any help is appreciated. Where to start?

thanks Broncobowsher - check the wheel spacers today

Have PS on my 73'. Steering great on road and highway - no death wobbles. its when i turn out of my driveway, the steering is difficult amd produces allot of tension. Any recommendations on where i start the troubleshooting?

Thanks all - the hydroboost and mc are new. Didn't remove the check valve though - I'll look that one up-thanks. Didn't pull it and do the bench bleed, tried to do it installed. Looks like the best way to do it is to pull it and do it in a vice? Calipers are installed correctly and fronded it...

Have a 73 that already had a booster and drums. Conversion kit went on fine, BUT two issues now that I didn't have before: #1) Brake pedal is still to the floor. Bled the front both with a partner and with an air compressor for an hour. Still spongy at best. Bled both front and back and still...

So far - I'm going with my gut and still looking :)

Yes, definitely is. Viewed some older ads on it as well- other sites. It was listed on Ebay previously, unsold reserve not met. Thanks for checking!

Thank you!
