    Okay; stumped!!!!

    Well, you've all been very helpful. Thanks. During the day my mind kept returning to the humidity effect and my inability to trigger the dimmer switch on the floor or even pull out the headlight toggle. I was able to turn the switch and flick on the interior lights. WhenI got home from work I...

    Okay; stumped!!!!

    Okay; thanks! I’ll try jumping it and see if she turns. Not much more detail...she was running for 15 and died and won’t turn, nor click like the points are tapping. After sleeping on it I wondered whether there’s an AT cut off switch and the park hadn’t engaged when I tried to restart it? I...

    Okay; stumped!!!!

    I pulled my old 1962 Dodge Lancer out to begin restoration again, after several months, ad she started quite nicely. She ran a little hit so I added coolant and she seemed to be running fine. Then she just died out and wouldn't start again. The dash lights come on and the oil light {she's got...

    Wither some window trim??!!! (and other)

    Hey folks, Anyone know where I can get some chrome window trim for a 1967 Valiant, 4 door Signet? I can find 2 door and even B body, but no sales of the 4 door A body. Thanks in advance! Ps. Any suggestions on replicating arm rests on a 1962 Lancer, front door, both sides? I had fabric to...

    Stubborn starting question...

    Well, I've done a few things and have some info to share. I replaced the ballast resister, but the new one started smoking. I then attached 1 30 MAMP LED to the ballast resister with a 1W 1K resister to test power flow but fond no disruptions. I've since attached the simple tester to the...

    You know, I Grok! The included distributor's condensor was showing high resistance when I ran a meter over it, indicating that it was not functional out of the box, forcing me to get the replacement. It seems that businesses are depending upon volume of sales to make up for quality of...

    Thanks a lot guys for sticking with me on this. Building an electric car was easier than finding this problem!!! Probably because old wiring is uncertain. I do want to take your advice and convert to a electronic ignition. I'm sold. I just need to determine the right pathway. My friend...

    1962 Dodge lancer

    I'll take some pics from mine for you and get them up in a week. I have a '62 as well and have to also rebuild the door panels, so I have them out of the car for you. I don't have the arm rests though because they were no in the car when i got them. I'm trying to find a pair to put in the...

    Thanks for the feedback. Let me reply with recent work; BATTERY CHARGING VOLTAGE. -Generally she runs fairly low on voltage, about 13V; good for the battery but not so good for the system... COIL could be bad. -I can check to see if I got a bad one, but a replacement coil was...

    Give that man a cigar! Well, I have news and got back to a wyfy bar to read this today, only to find out that the previous poster had it right, at least partially. Yesterday I went by to get the carb adjusted and she died again. I checked the points; all burnt. I had a spare set of point and...

    I hear you. I have replaced the coil, spark plugs, wires, points, condenser and checked the battery for spark. Not much left to replace or repair! Before making those modifications I'll get the carb rebuilt. I'll let you know when its back this week. Again, thanks,,,

    Finally got my shop manual today! Will be nice to have a set of instructions! I'm going to run her through some tests this week, hopefully now with some standards to compare. She runs smooth as silk some days and then randomly chokes on others, like this week. Thanks all for your input and...
