Thanks. Yes, both signals work and as 67dart273 described. When I use the left TS and press the brake, the right brake lights up and vice versa. Whichever is the last brake light to light up is the one that works when pressing the brake only with no TS selected. Although, they both worked...

Hey all, 69 Dart. Noticed got one brake light out. Swapped sides and the bulb is good. Taillights and turn signals work (hazards dont). But the signals are getting a little twitchy sometimes. Going fast or intermittent. Its been awhile, but I thought I remembered that the brake signal...

Thanks guys, I looked at the wiring diagram in the manual. Looks like Ive got it tied in with the cigarette lighter and the tail lights. I dont use the lighter and very rarely drive at night so dont really use the taillights either. I think Ill leave it as is for now and hopefully it wont...

Hey guys, This is probably going to be an easy one for you all. Im not too great at wiring so I just want to make sure that Im okay with this. I have an autometer triple gauge that quit working. Ive never had to mess with it as its worked great since Ive owned the car. 69 Dart btw...

THATS A PIECE OF ****!!!!????? Wow...tough guy to please...

I always let it get up to op temp...or theres really no point. Hence, why Im asking. Having to start it up once or twice a week and letting it run for 20 minutes each time can start to be a drain on the ol pocketbook. I guess I never really thought about it, cuz every carbureted car Ive ever...

LOL...Yeah, Ive done that too. But Ive also flooded more than a few cars in the past doing it that way. How long between starts? It doesnt matter how cold it is if I start it every 3 days, it fires right up.

Specifically those of you in the sub freezing zones. Im in midwest, IL/WI border, so you know it gets pretty cold here. Im really not concerned with batteries, as I put the car and bike on trickle chargers. More curious about getting some fuel going thru the carb. If I wait 2 weeks, its a...

Very good. Thanks gentlemen. I did crack the valve and theres gas in there. So Ill use it. Then bring it over to Airgas and see if theyll exchange it. As I said, never used gas so just wanted to play it safe by asking. Thanks again

Thanks for the explanation. Honestly, my concern is more about safety. Want to make sure I dont blow myself up. Looks like thats not really an issue I guess. So can I still exchange this at the Airgas until the end of year? Or will it need to be recertified?

Off topic question for you professional (or hobby) welders. I have just a little experience Mig welding. Have borrowed from various friends when needed and always done fluxcore (I think thats what its called). So never used gas. The projects didnt call for "roll of dimes" look, so it was good...

Yes Cosgig, this is true. I am planning on rebuilding them this winter. I already have kits. The car had been laid up for about a year and a half during a suspension rebuild. So I just wanted to dial it in as best as I could for the time being and have some fun this summer. Rebuild is for...

Quick update for Cruze and Mattax. Thanks to all for your help, but especially you 2. I realize this was almost a month ago, but I went on a 3 week backpacking trip. Just got a chance to tune with new springs. Turns out it was the springs as suspected. I had the black (heaviest) in there...

Good stuff Mattax. Seeing a graph really helps put things in perspective. I just checked and shot some carb cleaner, then air thru the venturi port. No blockage whatsoever. Im convinced now after seeing your graphs that its got to be the springs. I havent purchased anything yet from Chicago...

Wow Mattax, Im kind of surprised the blacks are that stiff. That really could be it then. Ill definitely start with getting 2 spring kits and go from there. Good idea, Ill remove the hose and see if I can get some air or cleaner thru there. Thanks Cruze, Im sure its all due for a rebuild. As...

Thats great info right there Mattax. Good stuff in those links too. I measured and compared my springs to your pic and I have the black springs. Heaviest. I was able to do some testing today and the outboards are definitely NOT opening. I tried the paper clip test again and they didnt move...

I said in my OP my testing procedure. In 1st up to 2500rpm, then stab it to the floor. Kind of hard to do that in neutral...haha

Haha, thats not a half bad idea. I pulled my springs but the color at the tip has worn off. I tried to match them up with the pics of the different springs, counting the rings, and they look to be either the purple or short yellow. Purple is mid point, yellow is light. Anyways, I guess what...

I just got the car back on the road after a long overdue suspension rebuild. After doing some carb tuning, I had a suspicion that the outboards werent opening. Honestly, I never knew if they were in the last couple years cuz I didnt do this test. I read to get it up to about 2500 rpm in...

Yes Diaphragm. Actually, I was just able to go for a drive...finally. Its perfect, I think I found the sweet spot. Shifts easily into all gears at various RPMs and into reverse with just the slightest nudge. I will still shim the fender ball stud to get it perfectly straight, but I think it...

With my helper pushing the pedal to the floor, I can get a .026 feeler gauge between disk and flywheel.

FSM says 5/32s free play measured at end of fork results in 1" pedal travel. But that doesnt answer the question of gap between TO bearing and fingers. I have the FSM and I refer to it always before I ask here. My question was answered above by 65 Cuda. Basically close enough as to where it...

Not original. Correct....doubtful. This started life as a /6 auto. So somebody down the line did there own mounting of the Z bar, etc. Its not a /6 setup from what I can tell. But, as I said, I disengaged the pedal rod and adjustment rod and checked the Zbar and pedal assembly for binding...

Theres about an inch in the pedal. Im referring to the gap when taking off inspection cover and putting a feeler gauge between TO bearing and fingers. I know its some give and take to get it where it needs to be. Just thought someone with more experience might have a nice ballpark number...

Adjusting fork rod due to pedal not returning all the way up. Thought it might be somewhere in the linkage, but I disconnected and checked everything with no binding. Started adjusting the rod to put bearing closer to fingers and that seems to be what was causing it. Huge difference. So how...

Roads around me suck. Dog dishes keep popping off. Decided to just leave them off and get some chrome acorns. Stock painted steelies 5x4.5. Any recomendations on where to get some decent ones? Dont want them rusting out in 3 months. Whatever they got at local parts store? Or Ebay? Other...

Yes, it is. Not having any issues. I was just familiarizing myself with the wiring routing and when I realized I didnt have a box type VR mounted somewhere, I got a little stumped. I asked more for clarification, so Thanks! Im sure there are pros and cons to running either setup. Ill have...

I was doing some wire rerouting and I noticed after a long search that I dont have a voltage regulator. Im not sure if you can tell by the pic, but do I have a "powermaster" style alternator with an internal regulator. Sorry for my ignorance, Im an electrical/ignition novice.

Oh jeez...screw worked like a charm. They came out easily. Honestly, I thought they were thicker than they are.

Ok...small screw sounds good to me. Thanks.
