After checking connections under the dash, it appears that the previous owner had left the pink wire tucked away and still connected. Rewired and have better voltage to the coil now. Car has been...

Had a no start on Monday but it did start about 30 minutes later. I going to just start a long process of elimination since nothing is showing up. I'm going to redo all connections on starting side-...

I thought I would fill you guys in on the latest-
I have checked all of the components with every test I can find and nothing is out of the ordinary. Also the car has been starting flawlessly since...

Well it seems all my issues turn into really puzzling projects-

Car has been starting and running just fine, went out Sunday morning and it started and ran fine. Parked it for about 4 hours and...

Installed the new parts yesterday and the car is up and running again. Thanks for the info about the extra connection on the switch.

In the process I found the pink wire that is connected to a...

Thank you for the new additional info, I will work on that tomorrow. The Accel distributor does not require a resistor so I will check that out. Does require a 8145 breakerless coil which it has.

[yay]
I knew you guys would have some answers, I've ordered a new switch and harness connection and will begin the process tomorrow to check out the possible causes from all your input. If I'm...

Here is the latest and greatest-

Yes, I did have an ignition switch problem last year and solved it with help from you guys; I really appreciated it too! Thank you again.

It was running...

I can't believe that no one has an answer for a cranking but no spark issue on a 64 falcon ranchero v8 issue. I would randomly guess an ignition switch issue but could be distributor (which is accel...

My 64 ranchero v8 has been hard to start lately and today it just won't start up.

I have fuel, engine turns over fine but I have no spark.

Accel street billet dizzy.
Accel super street...

I've got a bet going with a friend-
Anyone know what the original carb. vacuum placement to the distributor was on a 1964 Falcon Ranchero v8?
Ported or Manifold?

Looking for a complete bumper jack for a 1964 ford falcon ranchero-reasonable.

No, I'm not aware of the place you mention. I'll try to find it but if you have a link, please post it.

have a good day,

I looking for a Fiberglass Bed Cover for 64 Falcon Ranchero; anyone have any leads?

Thanks,

I've never used them sounds pretty easy.

No effect on alignment?

I'm looking for any thoughts on a quick way to lift the front of my ranchero about 1-2 inches?

:banana:Success finally!

All of the trouble centered around that darn center post. I took the wires off that didn't really seem to go anywhere and put the nut on but things still didn't seem to...

I know it seems like it all narrows down to that center post and things attached to it.

I'll get some time to work on it tomorrow and over the long weekend. I think I will try to eliminate the...

Ok,
That explains a lot about the post and the wires. I was thinking just replace the pigtail and the switch but, do you think it's worth removing the wires from the post and see if things clear up?...

[yay]This seems like a good news and bad situation, on one side it seems I have found the area causing the problem but I not sure how to handle it now!

I spent most of the day today trying to...

Been on vacation for a couple of weeks, just got back and thought I'd start trying to find the source of the electrical problem. Went out and put the key in the ignition turned the key to on and the...

You know I thought about the ignition switch but I also thought once I turned the turn signal off the gauges should have worked again but got nothing.

I also tried turning the key to the ACC side...

So you're thinking the ground for the cluster? Is there a separate one or is it just the screws holding it to the dash it self?

Dash lights work, oil and gen lights work, headlights work,...

Are you saying maybe some Gremlins in the Falcon? [AGREE]

Sure seems to be something shorting that connection when I turn the blinkers on!

I really thought maybe it would just be a fuse for the...

I decided to take a ride this morning and do some errands and maybe work on the car later. Made my first stop and after I started up the fuel and temp. gauges started working as usual. Made several...
