ANd i had the info to wire up all the "idiot" lights too if i would have had a stock engine that had them. But i got the dash lights, blinkers, high beams and gas guage hooked up. My th350 trans is a mech speedo so wheneve ri get around to it i can hook that up easily. For your electric speedo i know someone makes some type of conversion

SWEET ASS!

well ill find out the exact make and model of the car this week. what size motor and tranny also. i will end up doing the 302 but with an AOD tranny

all i want is the blinkers, hi and lo beams, speedo, fuel, and temp.... the stock falcon guage is SICK! ill post a pic up in just a few minutes

whens sicnic? idk if i should go or not

lol that link kit didnt have anything to do with that

i just had never done this before and i pulled out my lowers and loosened my uppers so i could weld the bag mounts and stuff on, well when i did that it allowed the output shaft to pull out some... but when i fixed the wheelbase and bolted it all back up it was fine

V8Blaze · 07-22-2008, 01:40 AM

its in october i believe, im not sure, not to excited that its 40 bucks to register, dont know if ill show, but im deff. going its like ten minutes from my house.

but yea, all that shit should be easy to hook up man. the speedo will be the only part ill have to look into. I know ive seen an electric to manual speedo cable setup somewhere

yea pandemonium was $40. but it was worth showing it seein that alot of people wanted me to make it from all 3 forums that im on. lol

well hell yea dude, ill go then... isnt it in like Gonzales? i would imagine youll jus stay at your house, but i wont show but i can go probably

ok the pics just finished

this is the dash tweeded and some kind of guage cluster with digital guages, i figured worse comes to worse i could go this route, NOT TWEED in my ranger, but the guages

sry its small, the only one i can find worth looking at

but i dont think that itll bee too much wider than mine is, ill find out this week though, i thought about not doing a dash, but what the hell, itll be that much cooler!

V8Blaze · 07-22-2008, 07:02 AM

i love my dash swap i wish i had time to get it fully welded and body filler on. But yea i only need the yearo f the car the dash came out of, should be easy to wire up, didnt have to many options in 64 lol

LMAO! well i tell you what then... ill get you the year and make and stuff

and for siknic since your so close i can help you finish welding and filling your dash if you want? i like sheetmetal and filler work

V8Blaze · 07-22-2008, 04:40 PM

i love sheetmetal and filler work. the moer i do it the more i enjoy the preciision of it. I just dont have time to have my truck taken apart right now. But yea id love to help man

o ok, is it your daily or somethin? imma try and go find out about that dash today in about an hour or so

83LOWrange · 07-22-2008, 08:17 PM

ok well i went and snapped the pics

its a 64 falcon, and it looked like an inline 6

i measured the steering coloumn, it will ine up perfect to mine! and the dash itself is only MAYBE 1/2" wider

V8Blaze · 07-22-2008, 09:49 PM

hell yea, the 68 dash was 12 and 3/4 inches wider, that dash was cut into five piece to get everything to fit and look right, then the guage cluster was cut into two and the glove box door was cut into 3 to keep the stock latch. Sooooooooooo ur lucky on that one man lol. Id get that steering wheel too and find some way of getting it on your column look cool

83LOWrange · 07-22-2008, 10:41 PM

well i can try and talk him onto letting me get the whole column maybe? id like to get the wheel tho

but it was shift on the coloumn tho

, o well... i want it on the floor like it is now, but you think itll look good tho?

you got any pics of yours?

o, and my lights are already on a pull switch to. i can make that fit right into there... and my door panels are just flat, so it wouldnt look like it doesnt fit in there... i think itll look bad ass

V8Blaze · 07-22-2008, 11:06 PM

ive got pics on latruckscene.net under the title "incase you hadnt seen" or some shit. But yea i think the dash will be awesome, with or without a wheel,mine looked cool with the stock wheel, better now though

http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2063683 that has all the usefully pics of it had alot more but cardomain ****ed em up. My other comp has tons ill upload all of em one day. Ive started sheetmetal door panels too, havent put up a pic b/c they arent much to look at yet

83LOWrange · 07-23-2008, 02:01 AM

thats a nice lookin blazer... but all that red interior, hahah jk

did you do the whole engine swap?

dawgnutz · 07-23-2008, 02:27 AM

Yeah! Nice Blazer man! How's she move?

jay33blu · 07-23-2008, 02:42 PM

hey man just realized that you had a thread for your project to. great job on all the stuff that you have done so far......have you decided on the 302 yet I didnt see anything about it anymore since about page three. my fiances grandpa is a ford man and has 3 older rangers with all v8s. I dont know anything really about ford motors but he has been buyin older lincoln towncars for like 500 bucks that have the 289 in them and makin stroker motors out of them. When he gets done with the motor he just scraps the car for like 200 bucks. you tackled the front yet?

dawgnutz · 07-23-2008, 03:08 PM

Yeah, that's a good question! Are You gonna go carbed? or Fule injected? (5.0 style). ?

damn... thats a hell of a deal hes doin. yea i think im gonna try and go ahead and do the 302 but with an older AOD tranny, ive read that it will keep the MPG's fairly decent. but im going to wait and do the front when i BD it, but im going to try and keep the beams

but if the motor wont fit under the stock hood on the beams, im not sure what i wanna do

carbed 5.0 and auto on the floor

dawgnutz · 07-23-2008, 04:11 PM

Werd, big cam , good stall converter, lots of fun.

jay33blu · 07-23-2008, 04:44 PM

well you could always run into a newer ranger and grab the front clip off it or hell just grab the c arms off it with the mounts. Ive heard of people doin it man but dont know.

V8Blaze · 07-23-2008, 05:55 PM

oh and by the way, i feel bad encouriging cutting up that falcon, im a chevy man but i have a sweet spot for all 60s ford cars, especially falcons. But im gonna start looking around for wiring diagrams of falcons. I had a pain finding a "complete" set of diagrams for the 68 chevy so its good to plan far ahead lol.

and sorry to whore ur thread withmy shit box. But ive done 100% of the work on my truck. and yea the red interior is shitty, it will slowley bee turned to black with some good ole wood bed floor here and there

if anyone wants to venture to blazinlow.com ive got a thread titled "updates and pictures' its pretty dead so whore it up lol

V8Blaze · 07-23-2008, 06:14 PM

well **** yea for falcons, found a wiring diagram and each gauges and light seems to be wired idividual, not circuit board style with a main harness plug like my 68 dash. Sooooo this just b/c a **** load easier found some good wiring diagrams too

http://www.rowand.net/Shop/Cars/1964...ngDiagrams.htm

also when did cars switch from 6v to 12v, just want to make sure these guages are 12v

you aint whoring bro. your helpin me out a LoT! i asked to see your truck

so you found the diagram already? damn, thats quick, so you think itll be hard? idk, but man i want that dash! and he only wants the body pieces off of it, so im CUTTIN that CRAP! hahaha

itll be worth it~!

see i thought abou tthat. but on RangerPowerSports, everyone does a toyota, Mustang II, oe a Pinto clip... no one does a newer ranger, idk why

ill have to look into that

i know that the yotas we use are only 1/2" wider, so its basically perfect, 1/4'' on each side, and then we use a MII rack and pinion

I think you could just use a voltage regulator if it is 6v.

V8Blaze · 07-23-2008, 07:40 PM

yea thats what i was thinking, theres tons of ways to do it. Lots of older hotrods taht upgrad drivetrains keep the vintage guages.I just want to have the wiring ready. And if it something as easy as wiring some resistors inline i can do that and save lowrange some dough

83LOWrange · 07-23-2008, 09:34 PM

haha sweet. i already got resistors, i do electrical work and soldering and stuff.... but on a micro scale

for instance. my xbox 360
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJ8Ays-dPpI

i have put leds and smds in just about everything! haha, i picked that hobby up a while back, and just never quit

well im glad we can get it to work. but now what about the fuel gauge with my fuel cell?

tuckin20's · 07-23-2008, 10:13 PM

nice build man. ive always wanted a ranger. couldnt find one so i opted for the mazda instead. i love the layed out stock look!!!

josh

V8Blaze · 07-23-2008, 10:27 PM

if your running a fuel cell that should be easy. What are the ohm's of the sending unit. Start looking around for the ohm on the falcon fuel guage. Im pretty sure fords are a standard number like chevys

83LOWrange · 07-24-2008, 12:42 AM

hmmm ight, well ill start searchin on the net for it

Ive heard of people doin it man but dont know. see i thought abou tthat. but on RangerPowerSports, everyone does a toyota, Mustang II, oe a Pinto clip... no one does a newer ranger, idk why ill have to look into that i know that the yotas we use are only 1/2" wider, so its basically perfect, 1/4'' on each side, and then we use a MII rack and pinion

Lots of older hotrods taht upgrad drivetrains keep the vintage guages.I just want to have the wiring ready. And if it something as easy as wiring some resistors inline i can do that and save lowrange some dough

What are the ohm's of the sending unit. Start looking around for the ohm on the falcon fuel guage. Im pretty sure fords are a standard number like chevys
