There might be a way to wire the white portion to the ignition - so that when it is on they are on, I am thinking that perhaps getting an extra set of the turn signal sockets for the outer parking light will be a good idea to make both blink verses just the one on the inside.

Ok - I have been looking into retrofitting my Pearl, with LED lighting. Headlights, taillights, parking lights - everything.. I found these - and wanted to see if anyone has an opinion... I know I need resistors for the turn signal bulbs, and was wondering if there was a way to use switchback...

Been There!! Most of the clips break as they are just so old - I found that the screws hold the dash panel in nice enough without much concern. As to the gauges - Sounds like the sensor itself might be in need of replacement. I havent ran into that problem on The Pearl yet - only have the...

All of the above - now something that I will add, I have a problem with my overflow, or bleed off from my fuel filter. Was causing similar issues, and was even flooding it to the point of killing the engine while driving. A clamp was placed on that hose as a last resort not knowing what else to...

It isn’t the one used cars - it was the one for the fridges- don’t remember the exact one.

Thankfully I am lucky that the Pearl is a desert car.. Very little rust and no erosion of the frame etc so far that I can tell. The soaking through of fabric glue is an interesting idea to say the least. I may attempt that towards the back where you can see in the pic the liner fabric is just...

Ok - the Pearl is running like a champ.. Gas gauge seems to be fixing itself, and I am working on using steel putty to repair a leak in my gas tank... (Kids+Scooter=OOPS) The Pearl is going strong.. However - The exterior paint is all but blowing away. There is tons of oxidation, and even...

In around 2004/5 - the coolant in The Pearl was not present anymore.. All factory parts. A family friend was recharging a fridge at our church, and my dad had him look at my pop's car - (it was not mine yet) so he charged it with the M-(whatever) coolant it was he had. Funny part? The same...

I am definitely following this one - I have working bulbs on my speedometer and that is about it. The gas gauge (Although it is incorrect) went dark years ago - and I have never tried to replace them. The information in my Hayes manual isnt very descriptive on the light removal and replacement...

Strangely enough after securing vacuum, checking for leaks and etc - clamping the vapor return line from the fuel filter stopped the problem and it runs like an ape... of the Stripe-ed variety. Great acceleration, no lugging, and only has a little problem when the engine, and thereby all...

Ok - the Pearl is currently sitting at a mechanic friend of mines shop. Here be the problem.. The carb - Holly 6280 - has been rebuilt, new floats and all new plugs etc. It idles like a DREAM, however at low accel, or even mid power on the throttle she starves for gas... Will stall if you dont...

- I always hit the Upload a photo box on the mobile website. If you open the email on your computer - you can save them from there to your computer then upload them. This a screenshot I made while replying.

You can upload from your phone straight to the forum if need be - as for the wheels in question I think I’ve seen them before... I’m not sure.

I’m working on getting that ironed back out after having it rebuilt. Running rough still - but better at the same time. I’ve looked into converting to 4bbl or TBI and man it is expensive. You have the Carter or the Holly 6280?
