[DeTomaso] Speedometer Repair/Rebuilt Cont.

[John Buckman]

Myron,

Go to your local electronics store (Radio Shack or ??) and buy a 15 ohm, 10 watt resistor and connect
it to the two wires that went to the gen light. 

You can use either the resistor or the light, but you don't need both to make the voltage regulator work.

When buying the resistor, the 15 ohm value is mandatory, but the wattage can be greater, as long as 
it is at least 10 watts.

Make sure that the resistor doesn't touch anything that might melt, as the resistor will get warm.

John

> Thanks to everybody for the referral of Palo Alto Speedometer.  My installer is going to send it out to them.  A different problem has occurred.  He has my speedo & I drove the car back home.  I noticed that my AMP gauge was left of center (0).  Every time I stepped on the brakes, it went more left of center.  Thank God that I didn't have to use my lights.  Is the charging circuit through to speedo system??  I know that the GEN light is there.  Can he send me the wiring part of the harness clip that goes to the speedo, so I could put it on & will the charging circuit work??  Thanks in advance, Myron (the other guy in Cleveland) #6928 74 L.  PS.  I have to drive to Canton OH on Sat for a car show 128 mi round trip.
