Fred,
I have spent an hour upside down and trying to find that regulator and I can't see anything at all like that up there. But I am getting old and it is harder for me to really do this. Also this darn Comet has a steel plate that goes from the dash to the firewall and is about 6/8 indhes wide. It hides everything above it and what a rats nest of wires. I can barely get my fingers up to where the speedometer cable connects and I am afraid to try and move to much as those wires are old and the last thing I need to do is break some of them. Weather is cool and raining now so I will try again when it is warm. But it is definately a temperature sensitive thing as when it is really cold, it takes about 30/40 seconds for the gauges to start working. Except the gas gauge. If I just turn the key on it will read but the minute I start the car it drops back to zero and then they all come on at once, including the wipers and heater motor. But once the car is warm they will kick on within a couple of seconds. There are advantages to living in a small area, but getting any repair work done is not one of them. Just as with the radiator. I couldn't believe that a radiator shop couldn't solder that dam 4 cent piece back in and told me I have to buy a new radiator as those aren't repairable once they come ou. Right, $385 dollars for a radiator and that because of a little piece of tin that won't stick. I am fast getting sick of cars and an area that you can't get anything repaired in.Everything has to be replaced new and it has to be ordered on top of that as they stock noting but lug nuts around here. Just venting some as in the morning I have to get one of my little Poms to the vet in Redding and if I can't use tha car then I have to get a Taxi and that is $65 dollars round trip for a 15 minute drive. AArrrggg
Ron
