Hello all,

My coach is now safe in my driveway in Montreal (Quebec) after a 450 mile trip home from Brantford Ontario - interrupted by a day spent at a garage in Toronto for some badly needed preventative repairs (among others, a right lower ball joint so loose that a well-aimed kick might have broken the knuckle away from the A arm).

I've been debating taking the PO to task for his duplicity in this forum, but have decided against, if only because it makes me look so stupid for not doing a good enough job enforcing the second clause in the Trust but Verify law. Suffice to say that there is some well disguised, but potentially serious rust in the rear frame extension and the right frame rail, which means that there may more in the bogie frame. I've already been in touch with Dan Stuckey for the frame and David Lenzi for the iffy road holding.

So Johnny Bridges, we may have sister coaches. Mine is a 1976 23" Norris - but it's a side bath. I gather you never managed to get your hands on a Norris wiring diagram? Mine might be different because it apparently underwent a fairly significant facelift by Cinnabar at some point in the past.

I ask for your patience - be prepared for a storm of "how to" and "what is this" questions. First challenge is getting the coach "safetied" and plated in Quebec.

Don't know what the PO did (the wiring all looked stock other than the addition of a CD, a Brake Buddy, a tachometer and an aftermarket radio, but there seems to be real problems with the wiring under the dash - no horn, no backup lights, no idiot lights and the climate control unit has no back lighting.

The PO did divulge that the cruise coach's control didn't work. I figured a hose or a modulator, bit it's more serious than that. Turns out that the original carb has been swapped for an Edelbrock, and the cruise control linkage simply left unconnected. Anyone out there know what has to be done to adapt the stock GM cruise control carb linkage to an Edelbrock?
