Any advice in dealing c either?

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; 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...

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...

Thanks!

The entire chrome set around the windshield and rubber gasket. My installer took mine off and lost it. I am wondering whether a 68 might even work?

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...

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...

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...

Sadly, no. This was an impulse buy. I did get her checked at the local AAA before buying it, but the previous owner knew nothing about cars except where to put gas and he had a mechanic that made some repairs [that I learned later, after buying it] that might have caused some problems [ie...

I may not be using the same vocabulary as you. My experience is limited to shade tree experimentation. When I said "checking for spark" I was referring listening for any ignition past the turnover of the starting motor [the car was on the side of the road at the time. When I got it home I...

Anyone out there know if which, if any, armrests from other mopars are compatible with a 1962 A body?

You guys are really helpful, all of you. Thanks. I am beginning to suspect a combination of gremlins. Last night, after running smooth as a Taco Bell inspired BM, she started coughing out on me while idling. In fairness, I didn't let her warm up. I stopped at a store and when I came out...

Thanks much for the offer, but where is the 1967 Valiant? Or is the Charger similar enough? Again, regards!

Again, thanks! Good tip.

This was real helpful. Thanks. I adjusted the carb and idle and she's running pretty well, but I want to be prepared for a carb rebuild. Its a B&B carb but they made 4 versions and the tab is gone off this one. Any idea how to determine which? 3 of the versions produced use the same...

PM sent.

I think you're onto something. I played with the mix and dropped it to 1/2 turn and it worked much better; without the staining of the pavement and rich flooding. I then dropped the idle down and she ran smooth. I am wondering how much the up and down weather might be playing with things...

Thanks! I'll research more. Since then static set the timing, replacing points & condenser, but she's running real rough; very rich. There was some heavy exhaust and the pavement blackened under the pipes. I'm wondering if I had two problems at the same time; a problem carburetor and the...

Is yours a fit to distributor kit or a plug in play, all in one with a new distributor mount? Thanks!

No, in NC! I do head to Vir semi-frequently though.

This is great feedback. Thanks!! I'm wanting less headaches:banghead:; not more! What are you best recommended and what vendor do you prefer?

I've narrowed the issue down to the points and a worn cam that may be causing the points to fire less effectively. The hex is rounded badly. Your advise about switching over to EI makes sense, as I'd have to replace the distributor anyway at this point. I'm going to be hunting for a...

Thanks! Anyone else ever measured or tested this?
