Thanks for the help to all. I had to pull my instrument cluster assy. out and follow the temp. gauge wiring to the the plug that goes to my firewall . I had a broken wire going through my firewall The plug going through my firewall was some kind of a serious grommet I had to go through the hole where my oil guage going to my console wire goes. red wire goes to temp guage yellow wire goes to oil light on dash coming out of wires going to red & black plug. It works fine now thanks again .    James   

Thanks 68 blk I see my problem now. My sending unit wire broke off @ black/red plug. my plug is shot I will have to try something else.There are two wires red & yellow going to plug do you know if both wires go to sending unit.

Pete I will try to send a picture. I took a few. Pete my sending unit wire is brown with white stripe. It is hooked up @ sending unit and stops @ fire wall it looks like it is broken off or cut where the wires comes through the fire wall . Where the ignition wire & the back up light wires comes through the fire wall. Maybe my wire is faded into brown .

My brown with white stripe s/u wire  broke off @ fire wall it was working fine until then. I cannot find where it goes back to. I think it goes to the plug where my ignition comes through the firewall to the coil  there is a red & black plug with two small wires coming from fire wall right above my a/c wire comes out .

Good call Pete the first one you posted looks just like mine I have had it in my Shelby since July 1969 I just had a good look at it looks just like the one you posted.      James

I need help with expansion valve for a/c where to place copper bulb on ac line I would like an illustration if possible. I had pictures years ago of all of this or tell me where I could get one. thanks for your time     James

I removed my a/c hoses in 1988 and cannot remember if they ran over or under the export brace . I sure would like some help if anyone knows the answer. I am trying to get my car finished    Thanks James

  I had that same problem years ago they are easy to lose. I had some aluminum sheet metal cut it down to size and formed a perfect fit for that part. Easy to work shine it up and It looks good. That is if all else fails hope that helps.

Thanks friends I tried switching the hoses on control valve it did not help much they looked out of place they are frozen they do not move much not flexing. I am ordering new ones today for control valve the other ones are fine. the old ones on c/v came with car. Thanks again James

  I have a crazy power steering problem. It started with power steering only working in one direction.    I rebuilt my slave cylinder did not do any good. still one direction only so I then rebuilt my control valve got all of the air out of system. Now when I start the engine the steering wheel goes to the left real fast, the car is on jack stands also I did a little work on steering box just grease and cleaning I turned my steering wheel a few times when steering was not hooked up do you think that might be my problem? Any opinions.  Thanks   James

Congrats from Westwego La.

Good job pete.

Does anyone know where I can get my hands on a proportioning valve rebuild kit with the check valve to go with it.My check valve only had a little brass barrel I think there is something a ball bearing or something that I lost.It is for my KR . Or just let me know what I am looking for. 

  I had my KR a/c done @ Classic Auto Air They are pros. you may call them @ (866) 352- 4678 hope this helps. They are located in Tampa Fl.              thks. James       

   You the Man Rick get well soon  and thanks for every thing you do.  Thks. James
