    Distributor - Source for replacement bushings

    I have a 360ci SB from around 1974 with electronic distributor; I wish to replace the bushings in the dizzy but haven't found a mail order source yet, I expected them to be listed at RockAuto. Please, where is the aftermarket place to buy these bushings?

    Slick tire size inside arches on ‘67 Dart

    Hi, Are you running slicks snug in between rolled up wheel arches and leaf springs, please share some guidance? I’m moving up from RWYB to bracket and want slicks in place of street radials, they are 245/60R15 on 15x7 rims, axle is non-std with discs. What size and brand slicks fit in those ‘67...

    Alternator/regulator upgrade

    Mattax and 67Dart273 thank you for describing the potential charging fault locations. I will take another look tomorrow; I'll strip back the harness branch to the alternator and try and see what was done in the stock reg delete mod. I checked the bulkhead connector a few months back and in was...

    Alternator/regulator upgrade

    Lord Sparky Thank you, I'll check the Crackedback's wire options. 67Dart273 Thank you for focusing me on determining the problem rather than working out where to source each spare part in the system. I did some testing; while running at idle the battery voltage across the terminals was 12.6V...

    Alternator/regulator upgrade

    Hi, My '67 Dart is showing very little charge voltage, ~12.2V when off, ~12.2V when running and the ammeter sits 3/4 the way toward full charge on the right hand side (~30A ?). The car starts ok, although it's only used in the daytime in good weather so not much electrical load. I'm wanting to...

    '67 Dart - No stop lights, turn signals on but don't flash

    Update: The new flasher unit has the same 2 spade connections at 90deg to each other, marked 'X' & 'L', in the same orientation as the failed unit removed from the car, but it turns out that the polarity is incorrect; I made a bodge wire so that the flasher unit terminals can be reversed and the...

    '67 Dart - No stop lights, turn signals on but don't flash

    Hey thank you for the links, that's a great read, a lot of very relevant info, much appreciated. Today's update: The new turn signal flasher unit arrived in the post so just been out to try it. I tested this new flasher with 2x21W bulbs in parallel across the battery and it flashes ok as...

    '67 Dart - No stop lights, turn signals on but don't flash

    Yes, the socket looks crimped into the reflector housing, I think ok not loose but I will take out and check better. There is a ground connection spade off the side of the socket to housing joint, I will clean that up. Now that the plated finish (zinc? chrome?) has long gone, what would you...

    '67 Dart - No stop lights, turn signals on but don't flash

    That makes sense, thanks, replace the moving parts. Eastwood sell some 'almost chrome' paint to restore the reflector.

    '67 Dart - No stop lights, turn signals on but don't flash

    Aha, thank you. I hadn't got any reaction out of the emergency flashers until this recent troubleshooting so the switch could well be worn out/oxidized, it jumped into life after excercising it a bit; I'll get one ordered.

    '67 Dart - No stop lights, turn signals on but don't flash

    Mattax Thank you for the bulb information and the links. I've taken the Front RH bulb out and cleaned up the ground strap back to the front panel, reassembled but no change. The status now: The earlier short has not shown up again (dome light still working). All bulb filaments can be illuminated...

    '67 Dart - No stop lights, turn signals on but don't flash

    RedFish, many thanks for the info and link here for the sockets, much appreciated. I've just checked and yes 1.125" so I get these ordered. The front park/turn sockets look to be integral with the reflector housing? Is there a known good repro source of these? Mine aren't so shiny.

    '67 Dart - No stop lights, turn signals on but don't flash

    ok, I've done a bit more work. I checked the tail light bulbs as the sockets do deteriorate, the plastic isolator and the sprung contacts. Each one looked reasonable; I was concerned that the contact on the bulb could bridge across the two sprung contacts, if the plastic isolator could twist...
