    Good Grief! 40% ! Agree on the downsize...same spot. Looking for paradise too.. not a stretch to get better than here (La.). but even OUR property tax didn't go up that high. Ga. & Tn. seem nice. I don't drive mountains very well, tho...

    I use a gritty fingernail file on certain electrical terminals to clean them up. I have ordered different colored wires through NAPA if you want to keep the wire colors the same. As far as taxes, I live in Georgia and when you reach age 65 they take the school taxes off your property taxes. I have three acres, 3 bedroom house with a partial finished basement and an extra bedroom down there. I have the house garage and a separate garage. My annual taxes are $2200. When my wife hits 65 the school taxes should knock off about $800. I’m only 61, she’s older. Just trying to give you an example. We live in Walton County Georgia, we are both originally from Michigan. Our family in Milford Ohio pay about $5,000 a year on their property taxes. I would consider Tennessee, no income taxes. I have family in Henderson Tennessee and I like it up there. Huntsville Alabama is nice, I friends over there. Georgia has a pretty good car culture and we like it for the most part If we can keep the blue voters from flipping our state politics. North Georgia has some nice towns. 40% is a Hell of a jump. I feel for you. Your car looks better in every video!

      @@skipprice6843 Cool, I have family in Polar Bluff Missouri too, I considered moving there once. It's laid back and reminds me of life in the 70's. Good luck on whatever you decide. Where I live, we have a lot of car shows and some pretty good machine shops. I have 5 classic cars that I play with. I'm still collecting parts for my 77 Bandit Trans Am. So far I collected a pair of W72 heads and the #17057266 Carb. I need a Y6 block. I bought the car missing the drive train.

    I'm doing wiring to.. only 7 or so engine wires on my car.... I'm chasing down the pigtails now for three items that got snipped by PO. Fun. Show me the wiring!! Good stuff.

      Heres some resistance values for three senders 6 dollar TU5 Wells sender from Autozone, 25 dollar "correctly calibrated" Lectric Limited model 01513321, and an original GM 1513321 sender (for a Pontiac Firebird - one with the slide on connector- Camaros use a 1513462 with a screw on lug).

      These may be the right spade type..i dont remember, ill check mine n the morning
      If you have a gauge with an external resistor you can change it from the stock 86 ihm resistor to a 91 ohm resistor and that will move the gauge up to 1 tick below half, at 180 degrees. I've done that, I use a potentiometer with two short leads on it, I adjust it to what i want the gauge to read and then lock it down in a ball of electrical tape so it can't change. If your gauge has the resistor built into it, then you have to live with it reading low, or get a sender that has a lower resistance at each of the temps above.

    I hate wiring, I can do it, I just hate it! Sounds like you need to downsize, find a little piece of land and build one of those Barndominiums, couple bedrooms and a nice big shop all in one!
