Wrong wiper blade. Someone replaced the low profile originals with aftermarket junk. Let me see if I have an original set in my attic. If you have another 70s car you're selling, swap out the wiper blades and holders if they look flatter. THe OEMs were made from very thin stamped metal. Great info ...

Guys my ‘77 coupe has wiper blades that strike the hood trim. The hood appears to be in hood alignment. Could modern wiper arms be of a taller profile? Anyone have this issue in the past? Archives come up with nothing. Thanks, see below.

the the fuse for the visor lights is INSIDE the visor, not at the fuse panel. John, I believe the earlier diagram I sent identifies the in-visor fuse as 2 amp. If you click the picture, there’s better detail. Got it and you are correct. 2 amp it is, thank you. Not sure why I missed that. 🙄

John, did you check your schematics to see what feeds those visors and if it splits anywhere from battery to end? It may not show the fuse rating (which should be in the owners manual), but it should make sense if you trace it out. Dan, I did t think to check the wiring diagram. I’ll do that and re...

I don’t think they are the same as the ‘77 owner’s manual does not list the visors under fuse # 7, the the fuse for the visor lights is INSIDE the visor, not at the fuse panel.

Can anyone confirm that the fuse for the 1977 visor lamps is 7.5 amps? They are not listed in the owner’s manual, surprisingly, and the blown fuse I can barely read, but it LOOKS like 7 1/2.
Thanks.

Anyone in the Midwest have a spare tire for my ‘77 Town Coupe??

That’s not my car, just showing an example of why I need.

I should have been more clear, mine is missing.

Thanks, I will look into those.

Guys, my ‘77 glass top needs the aluminum trim (possibly stainless?) that surrounds the glass. Anyone know where to start to find an original? I’m guessing I’m going to have to have it made. Tips on where I might find a company to form it? Also look closely, it has a compound radius. 😳 IMG_0734.jpeg

Dan, got it. Thanks.

Hi, searched the archives and could not locate any info on a correct under hood pad. I see some on Epay. And direction to look? Mine is MIA.

The fuel pump is on that side of the 400 motor, visible from under the car. There should be a flex line from the car Boyd’s to the pump and a hard line up to the carb from there. My guess is the flex line is rotted or leaking from either clamp. Jack it up, crawl under, and push on the rubber line a...

Would be to me, and I’ll bet once others notice that their’s are missing, (or look like crap) they will jump on board. We’ll see.
