    -Losing voltage as car is running? HELP?

    Exactly what my issue was. Was a pain to pinpoint without a multimeter and a lot of patience and a key turning monkey. Poor dude drank a six pack listening to me curse non-stop for 3 hours. Turned out to be a couple broken wires tap dancing on eachother causing a dead short.

    My Duster creates tornadoes

    I just looked at my Haynes book. I have one. It still kicks up a dust storm. Wonder if there's some other remedy. I don't cate if it stirs up dust, just don't want it in the engine compartment.

    My Duster creates tornadoes

    Whoa.. You live in Agangua. I used to go camping out at a place called Dripping Springs when I was a kid. Don't know why I remember that so vividly. Yeah.. Dusty as he'll out there.

    My Duster creates tornadoes

    I'm wondering if I am missing some type of shroud for the bottom of the fan/radiator. My driveway is dirt and on dry days my car kicks up huge plumes of dust ( I know.. Ironic). My big gripe is having to constantly clean the engine because of all the dust that gets up in the engine compartment...

    dash wiring help please part II

    Sounds like a short circuit in the harness maybe? Have you ran through it with a test meter? I had a crack in my harness that caused all kinds of havoc with the ignition switch.

    Duster fender badge correct location

    Measure 6.75" from the fender/door seam for horizontal measure 3.5" down from the second contour line for the vertical. This will give you direct center for the badge. Dip the pins in grease to mark and drill. Hope that helps.

    Duster fender badge correct location

    If they are original fenders they may have the holes visible on the inside of the fender. If it was a gold duster or twister package then it was a decal and there would be no holes drilled. Here's a picture of the right side. I can get you exact measurements if you need.

    What is this?!?!? and a tach question...

    What tach are you using? On a basic tach you'll have power, ground, lighting and sender. Some will have a shift light wire as well. Red would got to power, black to ground and white to the lighting circuit. If you are looking for the dimmer circuit a test meter will find it fast by dropping the...

    74 Duster alternate stripe ideas

    I'm planning on painting my duster flat black and doing all the original striping in gloss varnish. I guess it depends on what color you're planning on painting it.

    Paint 911. Used wrong activator.

    I agree. Use MEK to get the bulk of it off. Wear a respirator and heavy gloves. MEK is nasty stuff. Because the chemicals are a mismatch it will still be tacky so use acetone to wipe the residue off. Acetone will suck out the tacky polymers and you should be able to let it dry and lightly sand...

    Gauge Cluster Refinishing Help

    Brushed on brake fluid. Brush on a light coat and let it sit for a few hours. Wipe dry and repeat until the paint has come off. Brake fluid is the only thing I have had success with cleaning paint off palstic parts without melting the plastic.

    Dash upgrade complete.

    It took a few weeks but I sorted out all the dash electrical issues. Got the wires routed cleanly with just some general clipping and clean up left to do. Just ordered a new speedo-cable to adapt the new gauge to a threaded reciever. got all the warning lights working and the hi-beam...

    No power after dash upgrade. Zip. Nada.

    I hear ya. Everything goes into a shrink tube one the connectiions are verified and working. I don't leave anything dangling for a short. I just ordered a new accessory harness and fuse box. I want it to be easy access to a possible problem.

    No power after dash upgrade. Zip. Nada.

    The next thing I did was pull all of the new gauges out of the dash insert and tested them individually... Every light, every sender, every power connection. I watched a friend pre-wire his entire dash only to fight with bad splices and the bulk of working behind the dash insert. I made up a...

    No power after dash upgrade. Zip. Nada.

    The next step was locating the senders and wiring up the ones that came with the gauges Here's the tach sender attached to the first spark plug in the firing order. The closer you clamp it to the plug the better the tach signal. Here the temp sender. This was a bit of a pain because you have...

    I can give details on how I did it, but let it be known that I made a lot of mistakes along the way... Some of which I am still sorting out. It's not really rocket science but if you're like me and are starting with a zero knowledge base then it's daunting. If I had to do it again I would have...

    Thanks. I stole this car for 2500 without knowing anything about car or engines. This forum pretty much taught me how to tear down and rebuild a small block. This electrical stuff is still a bit of a mystery to me but the little victories are a rush. Got the new turn signal dash lights blinking...

    Just a set of Equus electric gauges and a a-body dash insert from Redline. Pretty low-dough solution but this is my daily driver.

    Good deal. Thanks. That seemed to do the trick. I have power back in some places but not all. I have no headlights and only one working parking light. Seems that the battery is undervolted. Only putting out about 10.5v. Stero and most accessories work. Starter won't crank.. Making a machine gun...

    Hi all. I have been using this forum unregistered for about a year now because you have answered or solved all of my engine problems. Kudos to you smart people for your help. Now I'm on to wrecking bigger stuff... Like the entire electrical system. Ok.. First off.. I'm electrically...
