Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions. I'm in the middle of rewiring my '64. Most of my engine wiring had melted itself into one big congealed mass, so before I ran a single wire, I spent about 2 weeks deconstructing the factory diagrams. Most of the wire colors are the same between...

Assuming that '65 is the same as '64 (I don't know that it is)... The numbered connections are for lighting, while the lettered connections are for engine stuff. Horn wiring is lettered and washers (if you have them) are numbered. If your bulkhead connector hasn't been hacked up, it has...

We always cut that outer lip off at the shops I worked at. I've never seen a factory seal with one.

Boy is this tedious on a phone. Oh well,, now let's use the ratcheting crimpers. I bought these at the L.A. Roadster Show from one of the electrical vendors, I don't remember who. It may have been Painless or American Autowire. They weren't that expensive, around $35 or $40. These pliers don't...

It seems like the official FABO winter project for 2021 is rewiring your car. A lot of folks have been asking wiring questions over the past couple weeks so I thought I'd try a bit of a how-to. I'm rewiring my 64 Dart wagon after it decided to melt most of the underhood wires into a big mess...

Does it have both horns? If so, I'll take 'em.

Waytek. OEM supplier and has most of what you'll need as far as wire, connectors, terminals, zip ties, heat shrink. Anaheim Wire... they only supply wire but their prices are a little better than Waytek, and they can put a tracer on a wire for you. Rhode Island Wire... they specialize in...

Ahhh, so I should have something that mounts to the bumper? That makes a bit more sense. Does the plate mount to the body? Mine does, but I don't know if that's correct.

Thanks Professor, that's what I'm thinking I'll do. I was hoping maybe someone would have a picture of the factory part or tell me it's the same as a c-body light or whatever.

So I'm in the process of rewiring my '64 wagon, and the rear plate light is nothing but a smashed up empty socket. I'm surprised I've never been pulled over for it in almost 5 years of driving this thing around. What is supposed to be there? Are they reproduced? Does anyone have one? Or do I...

That radio is awesome! My grandfather flew B-24s during the war. My wife's grandfather drove a cement truck for a living. He was in his mid-30s when the Japanese attacked. Nevertheless he volunteered the next day. The recruiter told him he was too old, and grandpa responded with "Someone's...

It is still an A body, just not a Mopar one. RRR beat me to it as usual!

They're only $200 each!

Here's what I know about T-5's after a lot of research and parts gathering to stick one behind a flathead in a Model A. This is off the top of my head so I could be wrong but... The W/C T-5's were a Mustang only trans, and had a longer/thicker input shaft, requiring a unique bellhousing. The...

1. There are plenty of decent to good editing software programs out there. Pay attention to what your favorite youtubers say they use and try those. 2. Best advice I got for performing is... Imagine you are on stage for a bunch of 3-year-olds. That amount of energy will be about right, anything...

Reads like the bottom of a Craigslist ad for a 1988 ASTRO van with Flowmasters.

Yep. The dragster was hanging from the ceiling. I went to the North Hollywood store once or twice also, but it wasn't nearly as cool.

Went to their warehouse in Chatsworth in about y2k to get a rebuild kit for a 289 Ford. They shut down not too long after. Glad I got to tour the place... Eddie Hill's top fueler, a bunch of other prominent drag cars, tons of engine mock-ups... a car guy's dream.

When I was in training for a "regular" mechanic I was taught to read plugs for a/f mixture as part of a tune-up. I never knew about reading for timing until I joined this forum. Seems to me that's the more important thing to learn.

Once I was pricing out a project by putting stuff in the cart once I found what I thought would work,etc. Two days later, my stuff showed up. I hadn't clicked the order button or paid for any of it. I called McMaster and told the guy "You guys know what I need before I do!"

Guess you have to change your tag line. Someone was offering a free slant on here a week or so ago, maybe they are near enough to work?

Kinda like ham. It ain't good unless there's something growing in it.

Don't buy that Harbor Freight turbine thing. I did, used it just fine for one project, and midway through project 2 it literally caught fire. HVLP guns want a lot of air. My Devilbiss calls for 12 - 15 cfm. My 5hp Craftsman compressor can't keep up.

I have the Devilbiss Finish line kit. It's a regular gun and a touch up gun. Both lay paint down pretty nice. Being in Cali, you will probably end up having to spray water based paint at some point. Make sure you get something that's compatible.

Don't snort the Fun Dip. It hurts. Really bad.

If you buy it you're responsible for the back fees. A friend gave me a 2000 Ranger about 5 years ago, registration was 2 years expired. I had to pay all of it to bring the truck current and in my name.

What? Cake with no milk? Whip out a boob before I cut a *****!

You'll be fine. The car only uses the amps it needs. The regulator controls volts, not amps. Too much voltage will fry stuff.

The problem is these guys get off on tying up traffic as much as they enjoy the "sport." So having a parking lot somewhere to shine their laser lights through the tire smoke doesn't have the same appeal. Drag racers back in the day were all about the racing, so a safe, sanctioned location was...
