If you do not have a 74 service manual, send me a PM ("conversation") I have on digital I can copy, but you will need to mail me a thumb drive and return mailer.

He is miles ahead of Grizzly glass in Hayden, IDaho. I had the 74 Scamp out there FOUR TIMES after the initial install and it still leaks, and they destroyed the rear gasket. What that had--after a roof replacement---was essentially a brand new car on the assembly line to work with. I, or...

AMEN

Unfortunately, my 75 wiring docs are now GONE. Check under the hood for fuse links. Usually an odd looking wire with a molded on tag, mostly near/ around the starter relay/ bulkhead connector

You can jumper it rather than replace it to test. If there is truly voltage on both sides of the BL switch that should power the brake lights. Most common problems of this sort are in the hazard switch, I'd assume contacts in the switch walking around. Make a table of your TS...

Boy that old girl has been well kept!!

Wonder if you can get them to reproduce?

Do not know what you mean. My 69 and 70 RR both had fixed, not telescopic whip antennas. They screw into the mount,and are easily removed. My 67 was telescopic, but no way to know if that was original. The 74 Scamp is same as the RR were

Don't know if you have a service manual? Free over at MyMopar.com. You may have to accept Dodge vs Plymouth, etc. I hate wiper motors and linkage. One more aspect of Mopars that they made way too silly and complicated

I would as said play with timing and run it maybe at least 5 advanced from spec. Be sure to set the idle when warmed, and if the engine is running "hot" that can aggravate the problem. I've often suspected that an engine that uses a little oil might be worse for "run on"

You can get service / body/ chassis manual for 73 for free from MyMopar. A few of us here are why it is there. The assembly manual? Probably need to search Dodge and Plymouth both. 72 and earlier is likely to have substantial differences in assembly. 74-5-6 if available would...

^^ In addition, be careful with MSD and timing lights. Many "dial up" lights don't play well with MSD. I don't use them. I use an old fashioned just plain triggered light. In fact one of mine!! is from the early 70's, a chrome Penske bought from Sears

Very safe, VERY easy. SET IT IN NEUTRAL. Set the idle up, set the mixture, be CERTAIN it is properly set AKA fully warm, mixture correct and TIMING correct. THEN GET INTO THE DRIVER'S SEAT and put it into drive, and see where it lands. If it is too high or too low, just turn the...

You still have my phone no?

THIS IS NOT a "for sale" thread, it will only cost you postage and I don't make a penny on this. I have done this previously. I was given a 1974 service manual, both volumes in digital form. But it is BIG. If any of you can either point me to an easy to access host site (and I...

Rusty: "Git it runnin and drivin"

OP I think you are cruizin for a bruizin here on this. I think you should grit your teeth and heave that thing. You know why people like Pitts and 4spd say stuff like they did? Because when we were young, WAY back in the SEVENTIES, we bought cheap junk aftermarket CHROME ALLOY...

Are you actually using Taylor wire? Different wire, can be different resistance. "Back in the day" the "go to" universal cut-off figure for factory wires, used to be no more than 1000 ohms per foot, and I don't think I ever found any that high, unless just open. If possible, photos of...

Almost sounds like you put tension on the column harness connectors and damaged or pulled out some of the terminals. I would start there, both the ignition connector and the TS connector.

Is this automatic column shift? If so you likely got the neutral start switch linkage out of adjustment. Try holding the key to "start" and wiggle the shifter from park through neutral and back. Also if you do not have a shop manual, run over to MyMopar.com and download it, free. Some...

All you can do is round up something to use for a test resistor. For a "quick" check, you could even heat a sensor up in water on the stove, then QUICKLY jumper it into the circuit and see if it reads upscale. You could also heat them up and quickly check their resistance compared...

Start by checking the sensor resistance. Here are the standard test resistors for checking gauges: IE the sensor should kinda match these at cold and operating. You can tell if the sender is grounding by checking between the brass shell and the intake. Do NOT overtighten these...

The question is, how do you know it's accurate? This IS A serious question. Did you construct some angles, and what did you use to do that?

nope

THIS!!! If you don't have the 2 manual volumes, run over to MyMopar and download them. Not all the connectors are there, but most. Take stuff that doesn't work one at a time and repost here, EG brake lights. The brake light switch should ALWAYS be hot and gets power from one of the...

None of the short (E body) or long (B body) pistol grips I've seen were that "straight." If you search something like 70 Cuda pistol grip you'll see what I mean.

There's always been a "preference argument" between shift balls and ball sizes vs T handle, and of course pistol grips. I had a 70 440-6RR, second owner, and LOVED that grip. For some reason I liked it way better than T handles. On an aside, the original owner, who I met in Navy...

What you've experienced is IN PART (and only in part) of why there has been so much written about the ammeter circuit. There is more to it (many times) than just the ammeter. In general, the possible problems are: 1....Many times aggravated by the installation of a much larger...

I think "blanket party" originated in the military. I only saw one. When I was in Navy electronics "A" school at Treasure Island, San Francisco, in 68-69, our dorm was all students in the same class. Those guys wanted to SLEEP with lights out. A transient was put in with us...

I may be "forgotten." I think someone tested those against an Ed and the Ed won big. I think I've got one I bought used
