    Wire in dash not allowing for car to start

    About a month ago I took the cluster out of the dash of my 1974 Dart Sport to fix the amp gauge which had started smoking (typical issue on those gauges glad it didn't start a fire). After fixing this issue I put all the gauges and cluster back into the dash and now the car will not start. It...

I even called the business and talked to the owner. I cannot find his ad anywhere now. Does anybody...

    How do I install this lamp?

    My Cigarette lighter/ ash tray lamp has been hanging from the dash so long during the restoration I forgot how to reinstall it. All I know is it has a hole in the bracket for a screw and must be grounded to turn on. How does it install? See the three pics below.

    Not Getting 12 Volts at Coil

    I have spent countless hours testing resistance in my 74 Dart's wiring harness. Most of the wires have no problem, yet I did find one break in the neutral safety harness that comes from the starter relay to the wire harness that leads down to the neutral safety switch which I repaired. I have...

    Check Ball on Holley 1920

    Last night I took apart my fuel bowl on my 1973 Holley 1920 and there was no check ball rolling around in the bowl. I considered that a good sign. Looking at the end of my metering block where the plastic lever sits, I see the power jet valve lever has both balls in place. My Walker rebuild carb...

    My 74 Dart has three bolts that hold the intake manifold to the exhaust manifold. The long bolt that is by itself takes a 3/8" nut with the washer built into the nut. I have that nut.
