    Turn signals not flashing

    Supplying a known good ground is the first step in a process of elimination. Being an aftermarket wiring harness, there's a lotta variables, including who installed it. By your description of both elements on dim is a very common no ground symptom. Your dash indicator lites should be on dim as well.

    New noise from a new engine

    Plug the exhaust to create back-pressure, hold cloths over the tailpipes, apply pressure, listen for leaks, - not rocket science.

    Turn signals not flashing

    Dana hit it right on the head, vise-grip one end of a length of wire to the neg battery post, touch the other bare end to the actual metal bulb base, lites should work as normal. With a poor/no ground at the bulb, the power comes to one filament of the bulb, but with no ground, - power goes up...

    New noise from a new engine

    To check for exhaust leaks, stuff the tailpipe with shop-cloths, and have someone wearing gloves hold the cloths in ( as best possible ) while you start and run the engine. Quickly walk one side of vehicle to other, exhaust leaks will be very evident, and those tailpipe cloths will be getting...

    68 Dart Power Steering hose small block cant find a replacement

    I have never had trouble, but I've dealt with them under another name for decades. Green line in Victoria, Vancouver. Tell them it's for a homemade log splitter on your tractor. They'll write down "tractor",

    68 Dart Power Steering hose small block cant find a replacement

    I take mine to an industrial hydraulic hose maker. They make/repair hoses fo bulldozers, tractors etc. Eastman? iirc Take it in one piece so they can get all the bends and angles correct.

    Unbalanced brakes

    I'd be checking to see if the front calipers are seized. The plastic piston calipers have a chronic problem seizing. Pry the piston/pads away from disc, if it'll move, then pump to see if it'll re-apply . Process of elimination, prove caliper not seized, and m/c operation. Good luck .

    Alignment Woes

    By the pix, it would appear that the cams are all pretty much "centered" in their adjustment. I believe there should be ample movement to add additional Caster, to gain more directional stability. We're it mine, with correctly installed offset bushings (K7103), I would expect to be able to...

    I hadn't seen my old(er) lol neighbor for a while and dropped by today. He wasn't looking to good. Turns out his daughter had come to visit, was surprised at how well he was doing, then he told her he was using CBDs with great success. She fukin freaked out on him, said it was voodoo, yada yada...

    All good info from A.J., and as he mentions, the illustration above is not Mopar, it's another breed . I've never seen that type of valve on a Mopar, thankfully, they're a ***** to have with line-lock, as they need to be centered everytime you use the line-lock, - to shut off the warning lite...

    Another "brake help" thread...

    The extra pumping, loud noise, and bunchas of dust is crazy. I once had installed a rear wheel cyl pushrod and missed the shoe. The result was the pushrod slid beside the shoe, forcing the shoe outward against the side of the drum, when pedal applied, creating lotsa noise. Can you just check the...

    Another "brake help" thread...

    Keep in mind that calipers merely relax, movement of a few thousands if not "knocked back" by a bent rotor. The difference in fluid volume between the 2 diameters is minimum. Once bled, the M/C just adds pressure to an already full system. Cheers

    cleaning a toilet help needed!

    Some of these are public washrooms, and leaving a harsh chemical to stew isn't really safe, with kids and all. Coke was a pleasant, safe surprise. Old dude at "janitorial" supply store suggested it .

    disc/drum diagnosis help needed

    I usually use a breaker bar if my 1/2 impact won't do it. Are you turning the proper way ? Driver's side can be LEFT thread . If visible, end of stud should have "L" stamped in it .

    disc/drum diagnosis help needed

    Adjust rear brakes . Mosta your pedal travel is going into moving the shoes out to the drum, adjust them up, pedal travel will reduce . Cheers

    Engine now smoking after new valve seals

    It's not uncommon for a vehicle that was a heavy smoker out the exhaust, to smoke for a long while after re-ring, or bad guides, as the exhaust pipes and mufflers were full of tar/oil. Not sure how much it could a sucked with your messed up seals. Check for eternal oil leaks, drips on floor etc...

    overheat only over 3000 rpm

    For me, it was an old funeral car, early 50s Cadillac Hearse. It ran fine during the procession out to the Burial Park,the other cars could return on the hiway, but this one overheated at speed. When brought to us, we rifled thru the glove box, found the newish looking rad was just a coupla...

    overheat only over 3000 rpm

    The interesting thing about the lower hose sucking shut, - is that as soon as you let the rpms drops from the revs nec to suck it closed, it will immediately open , and stay open till next time revved, then shut. Cruise at 60 mph, it gets hot, pull over, idle, open hood, inspect for problem...

    Does This Debunk the "Coolant Can Flow Through the Radiator Too Fast" Idea???

    I tried to avoid the use of the word "vacuum", but I maintain low pressure area created by "centrifugal" force, and the terms "single suction, dual suction pumps" seems to support what I was taught, well before the interweb, lol

    tips on asphalt driveaway replacement?

    I have acreage, my driveways aren't show pieces, but worked for me, going on 20 yrs now, but it does need a "side trim". I used the "kibble" grindings they grind up from old asphalt.

    "Centrifugal pumps work on the simple principle of imparting kinetic energy to the liquid. The pump consists of an impeller that is generally situated on a rotating shaft and turns inside of the pump casing[^1^]. When the impeller rotates, it creates a vacuum, sucking the fluid into the pump...

    340 Overheat / Radiator Geyser

    There was an extreme sense of success and satisfaction I have seldom achieved anytime else, in smashing out the windows as the squatters could only watch, mouths hung open. It was worth every penny for new modern windows .
