Asking how they came up with their statement is not "trick", it's educational.

Actually, educational would have been to politely and succinctly explaining the the function of a CV, not trying to get me to post my "uneducated" reasoning.

Simple reason is that you have to have some REAL knowledge of automobiles and how they operate BEFORE you can fix one. If you don't have thebasic knowledge you are wasting everyone's time, especially your own.

As I have stated seveal times on this board, if you think I am a rough customer then you should have been around when these cars were new. Our "knew-it-all" older brothers, uncles, fathers, and the guys next door grew up in hardship, treated everyone "new" like they were dirt just to teach them how to ask the right questions AFTER delevolping a basic understanding of the situation.

Somewhere along the line this requirement has vanished, especially on this board. These are 40 year old cars built under different concepts, engineering, and understanding. The cars DO NOT COMPLY with the lack of training/understanding commonly shown on this board.

Don't force the car to meet your understanding of things mechanical, it's up to YOU to learn how and why things were built and repaired "back then".

And yes, the Ford Pinto was technically a much advanced vehicle compaired to the original Falcons. It took a lot of new technoligy to physically get everything into that small package when compared to the Falcons.

But "that was before my (your) time so it doesn't count"???

Have fun growing older. (smerk)

The constent voltage regulator supplies power to the fuel and temp gauges, which is why I asked how you got the idea it was defective. I can think of no auto that the CV unit serves any other purpose.

As for the work area being "tight". Are you certain you are working on a Falcon??? There's almost enough room under the early falcon dash to physically crawl into. Try woking/replacing something under the dash of a Pinto or other "modern" Ford.

Actually with all your "knowledge" you could have simply replaced the blown fuse for the circuit.

If you do in fact have the knowledge your actions were in fact "heavy handed" is you bent anything removing and replacing the insturment pod.

Oh excuse me, obviously you don't work on your own vehicles. Anyone who has ever worked on anything has done something similar. I apologize that I'm not perfect and superior to everyone else here like you obviously are(except for your spelling). Again, please feel free to ignore my posts in the future.
