    How Rare?

    I know this thread is 8 years old, but I searched on "WF6 code", and this was one of few that came up. I just discovered that my car has the WF6 code, which explains all the chrome, including the wide band of chrome molding running between the wheel wells at the base of the body. FYI, having...

    What Speedo (and/or) Driven Gear?

    That's good info. So what if one has 275/60R-15 Nitto DRs (diameter = 27.76"). Haven't checked on the stock tire's diameter, but the DRs are surely taller. I'm thinking if one goes with the 10/27 combo, being that it would read a smidge higher, the larger rear tire would bring it down a...

    What Speedo (and/or) Driven Gear?

    Just to review: My speedo was giving out past 45 mph with increasing regularity. It would usually come back after warming up (~20 min. driving). Still worked at times if I remember correctly. Bought new cable, but now doesn't work at all. Disconnected cable at cluster, drove and discovered...

    What Speedo (and/or) Driven Gear?

    Thanks for the good info. Found the 10-tooth green on Ebay for $18.50 shipped and the 27-tooth black for $13 shipped.

    What Speedo (and/or) Driven Gear?

    Thanks for the info. Please do tell me the part numbers when you return from vacay. When I originally bought the new cable, I was only given one piece. And that's all there was existing. I was confused when I went to check the size of the cable yesterday, and saw a short piece of cable, only...

    What Speedo (and/or) Driven Gear?

    When I bought the car, the speedo gauge was working okay, but as with some of my older cars, it would fluctuate wildly when cold, sometimes giving out and dropping to 0 mph for a few minutes (until it warmed up, or I was at lower speeds). So I replaced it a few months ago. That caused a...

    Alternator No Longer Charging - Bug in Dash?

    Progress, insofar as at least by way of the field fix harness, it's now charging. I installed the new alternator, and...no volts light, no charging. Very bummed. About a 1/2 hour later, with some brain activity, I wondered if maybe now the field fix harness would now work. Being that the old...

    Alternator No Longer Charging - Bug in Dash?

    I was thinking the same thing. Wouldn't want to attempt it myself, but called/contacted 2 or 3 local guys on CL asking for quotes. They didn't get back to me quick enough, so I pulled the trigger on a new (not reman'ed) AC Delco unit. I haven't skimped on anything with my TR, and feel like...

    Alternator No Longer Charging - Bug in Dash?

    I know I disappear on this thread (and other threads) for extended periods of time. That's because I'm either on a budget or get easily frustrated. In this case, shortly after my last post, I towed (I own a tow truck now, fortunately) the TR to the local Advanced Auto and the in-car test...

    Alternator No Longer Charging - Bug in Dash?

    Have verified voltage at the connection point of the harness and boost solenoid. However...while I often go weeks without starting my TR, which has me thinking my battery is fine, it's manufacture date is 4/09. Though I'd be shocked if my battery just said, "Okay, I'm done, right now, I will...

    Alternator No Longer Charging - Bug in Dash?

    It's pegging, because my voltmeter is set on a 9 volt scale. So since I'm told it should be putting about about 14.5 volts, it should peg high on the meter since it's set to a 9V scale. But...I am getting suspicious about the alternator. I'm going to tow it to Advanced Auto Parts tomorrow. I...

    Alternator No Longer Charging - Bug in Dash?

    Well, we thought that was the culprit...my mechanic clean and did all kinds of work to try and improve the contacts at the back of the gauge cluster, as well as replacing the bulb. The only result was having the Low Fuel light stay on now. But Casper's FieldFix harness is supposed to eliminate...

    Alternator No Longer Charging - Bug in Dash?

    It's Victor, right? Sorry, I just noticed you sent me a PM a few months ago. I never got an email notification, and hadn't logged on until a couple days ago. Thanks for checking in though! To answer your question...yes! As I mentioned, it running incredible. Better than I expected with the...

    Alternator No Longer Charging - Bug in Dash?

    Well, here's the history. All was fine before the speedo cable change. I could let it sit for weeks and it would start right up. And I drove it 25 minutes to my mechanic's house, no problem. Then, immediately after we changed the cable, we started it, and as it was warming up, we noticed it...

    Alternator No Longer Charging - Bug in Dash?

    No chance (unless finances get dire). This thing's running phenomenal...mega power now with the new Champion Irons, roller cam and rockers (& 20 psi). It's a minor problem. I'm only frustrated because I know it's a relatively minor problem...whatever it is.
