[old-chevy-truck] Two questions/concerns

2013-10-08 Thread Dee Jay
1.) I still have my original 216 motor in my 1949 3600. Is it better for gas mileage and general wear and tear to use Non-ethanol gas? If so should I use the premium or regular stuff. 2.) How do I take my steering wheel off in an attempt to re-center it? Thanks guys.

Steve,   If you have a single horn, the wire coming out of the steering column (from the button) is connected to the horn.  The other horn wire goes to the positive battery.  If you have dual horns, a horn relay is usually used.  Positive battery connects  to the relay, as well as ground

I only found 1 terminal on the horn? Shouldn’t it have 2 since it has to stay isolated so the button can ground things and complete the circuit, correct? I wire like “Tim the Toolman” From: old-chevy-truck@yahoogroups.com [mailto:old-chevy-truck@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Bruce Ioppini

To remove the steering wheel you'll need a wheel puller , they're cheap and use two long bolts ~ remove the nut and split washer , oil up the rusty threaded holes in the steering wheel's hub and run a tap in them to clean up the threads . Install the puller with two matching length bolts

Use regular as the I6 engines are very low compression and prefer low octane fuels . I don't live where ethanol free Motor Fuels are sold but I'd never use ethanol if I didn't have to . YMMV Etc. -Nate ---In old-chevy-truck@yahoogroups.com, old-chevy-truck@yahoogroups.com

Yes ; If yu only have one connection you'll need to use a relay , they're cheap and will make sure the upper mast jacket bushing/contact lasts forever . -Nate ---In old-chevy-truck@yahoogroups.com, old-chevy-truck@yahoogroups.com wrote: I only found 1 terminal on the horn?
