    electrical issues

    The dash lights on my 71 coupe will not work. Switching on the parking lights blows the 5 amp. fuse for those lights which leads me to believe there is a dead short in that circuit. I would appreciate any thoughts on how to track down this problem. Thanks.

    I have often wondered why the battery on C3's ( maybe not all) was placed behind the drivers side seat versus the passengers side. Given the choice, the right side would seem to be the obvious one. Any thoughts?

    Ride height thoughts

    I have been reading a lot of questions about uneven rear ride heights on C3s. Its hard to believe that some sort of adjustable device for the spring bolts has not been thought of. I wonder if double nutting with the lower nut being a nyloc or something similar would work. I would like to hear...

    Backwards Fuel Guage

    Upon purchase of my "71" the seller pointed out that the fuel guage reads backwards. He said he must have reversed the wires while reassembling the guage cluster.
