Sorry about the redundancy, but here goes: Left the store one morning and my headlamps would not come on, I assumed it's the switch so I have one on order, BUT! My dashlights are OK, my taillights are OK, and I noticed the high-beam indicator is not coming on either and it's always on (since I...

you are right, it is a 4-jet, not a quadrajet, sorry..

Thanks in advance, the carburetor that was on my 1960 Buick Electra when I got it was (and is) a 4-barrel Rochester and it has the little aluminum triangle tag that says 7015040, but the carburetor is a Quadrajet which is leading me to believe that the 7015040 tag is not correct because it is...

When I found out what it would cost to refurbish the Wonderbar on my "60 Electra, I thought.. what's the point? Especially now since oldies stations have disappeared from AM radio and all we got left is Rush, I figured that for the same bread I could invest in a Kenwood unit under the dash, with...

When I bought my Electra 22 years ago, it already had been changed over to an alternator (Delco Remy with the built-in regulator) and it has always worked fine.. except: When you put turn the key ON and all the indicators are supposed to light up (to let you know they work), no lights come on...

thanks a lot Jamie! i have the 3 solenoid wire connections undone, now all i have left to do is drop the starter but i want to make sure.. uh, you wouldn't happen know the size of the bolts, would you? they're pretty large..
