Run a jumper from the battery to the plus side of the coil and bridge the relay to see if it will start.

Part of the NOX system I think. Activates at highway speeds. Probably 50 mph or so.

Check the big red wire coming up the steering coloumn. There is a connection of two sections of wire there. Unplug it and see if it's burned or shorting. It's a common problem on these cars.

Looks like an original ac car. Could be something with that.

If you're not in a rush I will have a rough set of TTi's 1 5/8 step to 1 3/4 later this year. I have to get the suspension sorted and pull off the old ones and attach the new ones. Probably 40 % of new ones cost. I'm sure they can be powdercoated or something else to make them appear better.

The amazing thing is 75's and up to about 80's used a very similar style of cruise unit. Listed as GM.

The bracket is for a Pioneer system I think. The KP500 and KP700 units from them had this so it could be easily removed. They were a high ticket item and theft was pretty common on them.

Could they be transport tie down brackets?

I figured if they were used on cars from the factory there was a reason. Those Ramchargers probably had something to do with them being on production cars. I think they help the torque on the motor, but I do like mine.

H pipe that baby too.

If you check the junkyards a lot of the C body cars had cruise on them. I think the bracket holding the accelerator to carb is different but you may find one in one of those old C's. Brake light switch for cruise was different if I recall correctly too. I've seen upper and lower cables on eBay...

+1 on TTI. Good stuff.

I put tape around the edges when I pull hinges and things off. It's a hack but makes everything lining up after you take it off easier. You can also drill a small hole in each hinge and use the drill bit to get it close when you reinstall everything.

I painted the blackout hood on mine. I actually extended it to the back of the hood all the way to the cowl.

Welcome good people here to interact with.
