Thank you all for answering my concerns, I have the basics to pass a safety inspection. "as long as they dont care about seat belts in the back" :)

Greetins A Bodies, I have a question to all of you that are from Texas. Next year I will be relocating to Fort Bliss, and I would like here some first hand experiences on how difficult it was to register and inspect your classic A-Body. Here in South Carolina I just showed the DMV a bill of...

Hello waggin, Just got the choke t-stat, thank you very much

Greeting A bodies, I am trying to install a newer stereo system in my 65 dart, so here is my game plan. 1st Switch the Voltage regulator from the 6V stock to a 12V. " so i don't fry anything (or vise versa) Then I umm, yeah. I have seen the older radio sets were the wires connect in the...

:mumum: O.k. this burns me, I bought this alternator from Auto-zone, yesterday took it out of the box and it spun just fine. hooked it up and it screamed "like mentioned earlier" now I'm home from work, checked everything like suggested and my damn alternator is locked up. It wont move for...
