wjajr, thanks for your reply. Do you have any recommendations for what I can use to shield the signal wire? :salute:

Cracked, my in car (psycho) tach is wired as you suggest. My hand held tach that I use when I tune was attached as described in my last post.

I was doing some tuning yesterday. Had my hand held underhood tach hooked up as follows: positive lead to coil -ve and -ve lead to ground. Not only did the underhood tach work perfectly, but to my amazement, the psycho tach on my steering column works flawlessly as well! :scratch: When done...

I put new plugs and wires in on Wednesday. Today I replaced the coil with a new one. Tach still the same. I'll check the cap and rotor next. If they are ok, then I'll do the voltage tests. Thanks for the help. :banghead:

The connection at the coil is fine. I'll check the lead and ground tomorrow.

It's radio delete and therefore no stereo equipment. It was wired before I took over the build, so I am not sure on the hot lead. Wires run through the steering column, so I was hoping I wouldn't have to drop the column. Unfortunately, I can't pick out the wires coming through the column...

My tachometer worked fine until a few weeks ago. Now the needle bounces all over the place with no correlation to the engine speed. :wack: I have a '71 340 with a Mopar Performance Electronic ignition and a chrome ECU. The tachometer is a Stewart-Warner Deluxe Series 0-8,000rpm. Does anyone...

It's a Wonderful Life is still my favorite. :angel7:

I agree with 66340 on the scoop. In any event, the Missile is looking good. Keep up the excellent work. I always look forward to the updates. :thumleft:

I run Quick Time Performance electric cut outs also. I'm very pleased with them. :thumbup:

Hey Spaz, from one yinzer to another, "way ta go n'at"! Gonna pump an ahrn in yur honor. :drinkers:

Here are the 275/60R15's on the rear of my '73 Dart with the spring relocation kit. No rubbing of the quarters or suspension. :burnout:

My 340 6 pack was popping like a 4th of July grand finale a few weeks ago. I replaced the power valve in the center carb and no more fireworks. :happy3:

In high school (1971) my good friend , who is still my very close friend, bought a 1968 Dodge Coronet R/T with a 440-4 and a consol shifted 727. That car was just plain bitchin'. It looked, sounded and ran better than any of the Camaro's, Chevelles or Mustangs in the school parking lot. We won a...

I have a 1973 Dart and mine is mounted on the verticle dash support that is to the left of the steering column and to the right of the fuse box. PM me if you need a photo and I'll take one for you. :thumbup:

The speedometer needle in my 1973 Dart recently decided to stop returning to zero when the car is stopped. It stays at 8 mph when stopped and is always 8 mph higher than the actual speed of the car when moving. How do I get the needle to go back to zero when stopped?

Welcome n'at. I'm originally from Jeannette, now living in SW Florida. Watching r Stillers vs Dolphins as I type. It would be nice if yinz could post some pictures of yer Dart n'at. :salute:

It's your car, so you can do as you please. I see no problem with it as long as you don't try to represent it as the real deal. If you are truthful about what it is after it's done, then go right ahead. :nike:

I followed the advise given in the tech section of www.madelectrical.com I took your advice and ran a ground from the engine block to the voltage regulator. I also took the alternator to an auto electric shop and it tested ok. I completed the ammeter bypass and ran an 8 guage wire from the...

OK. Will scrape away tonight! I'll be out of town for 6 days starting tomarrow evening. When I get back , I'll begin to explore the voltage drop problem. Thanks again to you and Nothingbutdarts for the help. :salute:

Redfish, thank you for your input. How do you recommend grounding the voltage regulator properly? Amp guage is bypassed, so voltage drop should be coming from the bulkhead connections and/or ignition switch or it's harness connector, right? As per your recommendations, I will address the...

Thanks for helping, Nothingbutdarts. Here's what I came up with: Ohm meter check from the alternator case to the voltage regulator case was infinite. With key on, blue wire on the regulator connector has 11.2 volts. Ohms test of the green wire from the regulator connector to the push on field...

It's one ballast with 2 poles. Here's what I got today: Key off - 12.5 volts at battery / 0.0 to dbl field wire. Key on: 12.1 volts to battery / 10.0 volts to dbl field wire. Previous owner messed with harness and now I'm dealing with it. It looks like I am missing the ground from engine block...

My '73 Swinger has a charging and/or wiring problem and I can't figure it out. :angry7::angry5::angryfir::angry1:angry9: Originally a 318 car, I got the car with no engine and have since installed a 340. It has a Mopar Performance chrome electronic ignition with a Mopar electronic voltage...

Jet plates for the outboard carbs, metering block and throttle baseplate for the center carb. I have a recently rebuilt OEM six pack on my '70 'Cuda and a promax built six pack on my 340 Dart. The Promax carb is light years better. If you want a six pack that performs the way you always wished...

Thanks Yellowdartdave. With your help I was able to plumb my vacuum lines. First 2 pictures are before and last 2 are after Yellowdartdaves help. Thanks again. :cheers:

Here's mine. :wave:

:confused: I don't know what happened to Mopardude, but if he doesn't get back to you, I have 2 swinger emblems off of my '73 Dart Swinger that are in good shape (see photos below). All of the studs on the back are intact. I also have a brand new, in the box, never used dark blue carpet for a...

:cheers: Thanks for the photo 2 Darts. That's exactly what I needed to see. It looks as if the triangular factory wrench is installed with the screw holes pointing downward. Am I viewing that correctly? Thanks again. :supz:

Thanks for your response Yellowdartdave. Unfortunately, my intake manifold doesn't have any vacuum ports! Can I use any other vacuum source? And if so which one?
