I have finally been able to justify the money I have spent on the present Demon I am working on. It is plain and simple therapy for me. I had paid a psychiatrist $70 an hour for consultation. i easily have over a thousand hours logged in on the Demon. That is time that may have helped the...

Update status: I went through the entire electrical system. The goal was to identify and all potential electrical gremlins that were needing to be exorcised. ( I guess I have become an exorcist.) There was a running change made in November 1971 on the dash harnesses installed in the Dart...

Drat and double drat. The switch plate behind the cam has a broken off leg. At least Summit has credited :thumbsup: the harness back to the card.:thankyou:I'll look at it more closely, tomorrow. Two steps backwards, one step forward.

Finally got the dimmer switch grommet in the carpet and the driver side sill plate re-installed today. Still waiting on Summit for the return credit on the Painless kit. Car is an early 72 for the purposes of ordering a wiring harness. Mopar used the same PC board panel from from Nov 71 until...

Since I found I decided to try the lower cost Painless route. Brought in a Mopar harness. It comprehesively rewires the car and offers a neat solution to the bulkhead oonnectors through the use of plates. It also has a modern fuse panel with Mini and ATO fuses in it. It also provides for...

Carpet was going in, suddenly, the horn began to blow. Got out of car to disconnect battery, closed door horn quit. Opened door horn sounded. Very strange. This happened about a week ago. I began chasing circuits with a wiring diagram. As I got under the dash, I was surprised to find a...

I understand this can also happen when too much time elapses between removal of one item and its replacement with another. it happens with me and faste ners with increasing regularity.

Thanks for your kind words. I am in the process of laying carpet. I got some foam insulation that I put in the floor boards after the JB Weld had cured a few days. Now that the insulation is stuck down, the carpet is going in. The rear set carpet in in place. I am having difficulty finding...

Thanks for you comments. I have a block out of a 68 Coronetin the Demon. I am sort of wishing I had spent a little more time on the heads. The 73 340 used a 1.88 intake and a 1.60 exhaust valve. The stock 318 valves, and the ones in a 302 head, are 0.010 smaller. For the time...

I heard this from my Freshman Latin instructor (owned a 1966 Coronet) "Chrysler products, you either swear by them or swear at them." I hear you, amigo.Last month, I put a new ignition lock in the Demon. For the first time since I bought the car, it can now with a single key and the column...

I am very glad I went through the drill of checking for holes in the floorboards again after I went over them with a wire brush. I found a colony near the buckle on the passenger side and a few more on the drivers' side towards the front of the car. Looks like I will be making up a bunch of...

Smart Man:thumbsup:. A happy wife makes for a happy life...but an unhappy wife can be a *****:soapbox:.

A question was put to me. "How do I find where all the holes are in the floorboards?" first, the floor needs to be free of the seats, and floor covering that includes all carpeting and floor mats. I put covers in every drain hole in the floorboards and put a bolt in every seat belt hole...

Heck, you're a Dentist (or a wannabee). There ought to be a dental pick you can slide down over the top, into the hole of the washer, and slide it out. Haf to laff, make sure the LCA is as far down as it will go before putting the bar into it AND that the adjuster is backed out far enough to...

Since last posting, the seat has returned from the upholstery shop. What a deal, it came back in less than a week and under budget yee haa! ! !. While it was out I tackled the interior, completing the lock swap. Finally ! It took two other FABO members explanations to get the idea that I...

Getting bored sitting around. Speech therapy is needed and helpful, but it doesn't solve my need for getting something done on the Demon. The steering wheel came off a week ago and front seat came out this past week. The steering wheel was pulled in preparation for a new lock cylinder to be...

Thanks for the recovery wishes.

Sidelined for the near future. I had brain surgery towards the end of December. I am just able to get around on my own. Naturally, no driving while taking opiods. Have thoroughly researched how to change out the ignition lock cylinder in the car and made out an exhaustive 'to do' list on...

Got it in the garage just in time to miss the first frost of the season. I'll start be removing the front bench seat, so it can be re-upholstered. Since this is the first time I have had everything under one roof, every day I tackle a box is like Christmas. And the surplus is really showing up...

Thanks for the encouragement and kind words. I really would like to get it finished before I am unable to drive.

Well, we are at home. I took these photos at my Dad's place a few weeks ago. Today, I was going through boxes in the garage at my place in order to find just what I had in boxes. Then the name of the game was to put boxes in the house close to the where the contents will actually be used...

Wouldn't you know it!!!! My father passed away in August, my mother passed in 2007. Unlike most parental units, both of mine were "savers" and not "pitchers". This is especially true when it came to pictures. From the year 1974 and parental archives comes a decent photo of the car in...

The guy who could work on my car intelligently was let go by the shop. It was a bit scary for a while. I spent a bit of time with the shop's foreman and scheduler and a rookie mechanic to determine my next move. The biggest things that need correction are the master cylinder and the...

Progress went slowly, but it did occur. Rear seat was re-upholstered. and I worked on fixing up an instrument cluster. Had to use a pro to clear up the speedometer. There is nothing in the chassis and body manual that spoke to me about where precisely...

RE: Panel 13 I remember playing around with the front cover in order to get the pumps discharge to work with the radiator I could get. Also had to take care of the harmonic balancer so timing could be set. I also recall that the change to the Sanden compressor entered into the decision...

RE: Panel 14 Sorry you can't see photos. I assure you they were all uploaded. I checked my source files. Most of the ones I used in the post were small files (ca < 25Kb). It sounds like a Joeychgo or Tech Admin question.

I played games with the front of the engine in order to be able to get the water outlet from the pump where I wanted it. It also allowed me to do without an idler on the A/C belts (the alternator provides tension adjustment).

I was all white knuckles when I HAD to finally put the windshield & gasket into the car. The guy who did the surgery on the roof broke the windshield I had. He discounted his work to account for it, but he didn't try again. So there I was about ten years later putting a Chinese windshield...

Here it is fresh off of the trailer. Over the next eight years work slowed to a crawl.
