Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions. I'm in the middle of rewiring my '64. Most of my engine wiring had melted itself into one big congealed mass, so before I ran a single wire, I spent about 2 weeks deconstructing the factory diagrams. Most of the wire colors are the same between...

Assuming that '65 is the same as '64 (I don't know that it is)... The numbered connections are for lighting, while the lettered connections are for engine stuff. Horn wiring is lettered and washers (if you have them) are numbered. If your bulkhead connector hasn't been hacked up, it has...

We always cut that outer lip off at the shops I worked at. I've never seen a factory seal with one.

Boy is this tedious on a phone. Oh well,, now let's use the ratcheting crimpers. I bought these at the L.A. Roadster Show from one of the electrical vendors, I don't remember who. It may have been Painless or American Autowire. They weren't that expensive, around $35 or $40. These pliers don't...

It seems like the official FABO winter project for 2021 is rewiring your car. A lot of folks have been asking wiring questions over the past couple weeks so I thought I'd try a bit of a how-to. I'm rewiring my 64 Dart wagon after it decided to melt most of the underhood wires into a big mess...

Does it have both horns? If so, I'll take 'em.

Waytek. OEM supplier and has most of what you'll need as far as wire, connectors, terminals, zip ties, heat shrink. Anaheim Wire... they only supply wire but their prices are a little better than Waytek, and they can put a tracer on a wire for you. Rhode Island Wire... they specialize in...

Ahhh, so I should have something that mounts to the bumper? That makes a bit more sense. Does the plate mount to the body? Mine does, but I don't know if that's correct.

Thanks Professor, that's what I'm thinking I'll do. I was hoping maybe someone would have a picture of the factory part or tell me it's the same as a c-body light or whatever.

So I'm in the process of rewiring my '64 wagon, and the rear plate light is nothing but a smashed up empty socket. I'm surprised I've never been pulled over for it in almost 5 years of driving this thing around. What is supposed to be there? Are they reproduced? Does anyone have one? Or do I...

That radio is awesome! My grandfather flew B-24s during the war. My wife's grandfather drove a cement truck for a living. He was in his mid-30s when the Japanese attacked. Nevertheless he volunteered the next day. The recruiter told him he was too old, and grandpa responded with "Someone's...

It is still an A body, just not a Mopar one. RRR beat me to it as usual!

They're only $200 each!

Here's what I know about T-5's after a lot of research and parts gathering to stick one behind a flathead in a Model A. This is off the top of my head so I could be wrong but... The W/C T-5's were a Mustang only trans, and had a longer/thicker input shaft, requiring a unique bellhousing. The...

1. There are plenty of decent to good editing software programs out there. Pay attention to what your favorite youtubers say they use and try those. 2. Best advice I got for performing is... Imagine you are on stage for a bunch of 3-year-olds. That amount of energy will be about right, anything...
