I think cable sized are to small of a gauge for that current load at that distance. Using a 12V distribution lug mounted under the hood can help you manage your charging and starting circuits easier. I use a modified MADD wiring schematic including the remote voltage sensing at the battery...

I'm switching to a trunk mounted position this week. I have been using 0/1 gauge welding cable because of it's tough covering. I also use rubber hose to protect any abrasion or contact points. I also use like-sized ground cables from the battery to the block and chassis. Are you running a...

Buying a top-shelf torque converter properly matched to your combination by an expert in the field is one of the best investments you can make in a car with an automatic transmission. My most recent purchase of a Circle D torque converter was this past week. The main issue the tech was...

I'm running a stroked 5.9 Magnum with a Precision of New Hampton 3800 stall 3 disc lock-up converter into a Stage 2 Extreme Automatic's 2004R. The lock-up feature can only be activated in 4th gear, and their high quality converter is very efficient. It only drops about 350 rpm between the locked...

Why not run OBDII out of the gate?

I'm going through a similar situation, and the dual sync is plug and play with the Holley Terminaor X Max with CNP ignition I'm running this time. I assumed the signal it puts out via Hall Effect Sensors could be used instead of the factory crank position sensor. I didn't look at the wiring...

The 5.9's use a weighted flexplate, while the 5.2's use a nuetral balance flexplate. If you are running a stock bottom end, use the 5.9 flexplate with a nuetrally balanced torque converter. Be sure to check the for & aft converter freeplay so the torque converter doesn't bind or have too much...

You could also, forget about the flex plate, and use a dual synch distributor to trigger your EFI.

Yah!

If your stroker is neutral balanced, you can use a 5.2 Magnum flexplate.

The 5.2 Magnum is neutral balanced, where the 5.9 Magnum is not. One of the torque converter bolt holes must be offset ground slightly to line up.

Aren't truck pans rear sump?

I typically just bolt both sides of the amp gaug connection to a single lug on the gauge. In many cases, I add a volt gauge or have the gauge converted to a volt meter.

Don't forget to lube all the bushings up inside and out with Synthetic Disc Brake Grease. It greatly reduces suspension sticktion, squeaks and corrosion, and won't attack rubber or synthetic components.

I tried it once and gave up. I don't have the skills for that type of work. I later paid a guy who specializes in top replacement, and had him use German Canvass and a glass rear window. It looks way better than the vinyl, in my opinion. I also installed Crackled back's top relay wiring kit...
