DID YOU NOT READ THIS THREAD?? YOU DO NOT want to put a temp sensor in the LOWER hose, and there IS NO place on the block The lower hose/ inlet side of the pump is all the "colder" side of the cooling system. You want to measure up top where it has been heated. GM put the sensors...

Where you have pictured is a damn poor place for a temp sender, anyhow as it is ABOVE the stat Look at the photo in post 18. THAT is what I'm talking about

I do not understand what you mean. Stat housing (factory) has nothing to do with sender. I am talking about an aftermarket spacer that goes UNDER the stat, that has 1 or 2 fittings for hoses or senders. The housing you use on top has nothing to do with that Be careful, tho. There was a...

There are a couple of people that make thermostat spacers, with bored/ tapped fittings out the side. You put that under the stat, and the gauge sender into one of the fittings. Mancini, I think, is one. There used to be fittings that allowed attachments into a radiator hose, but they...

The only thing I know of is "rig" some sort of microswitch, etc, to the linkage. NO, LOL I have no idea how. Last time I saw a push button shifter was out of my 64 426 Dodge, in about 1972

Good luck, for sure. If I ever started anything like that, I'd end up with a '50s style dune buggy --cuz I wouldn't know where to stop. Sorta like trimming your left sideburn, then your right, and they just keep getting shorter, and still uneven, LOL

If you don't have a service manual/ wiring diagram, go over to MyMopar.com and download them, free

What do you mean, "several wire pigtail?" You talking about the wiring harness? The stop / tail lamps are two lamps in one, and have two contacts plus the shell which is ground. So one wire in the harness is the two tail lamps, two more wires are left and right stop/ turn, and...

The original instrument regulator/ limiter IS INSIDE THE FUEL GAUGE if it has 3 terminals. I agree likely ground. Wiggle/ work the cluster connector to scrub/ clean the terminals and feel for tightness. Remove the connector and examine the pins to the board for looseness or...

The instrument limiter/ regulator is INSIDE the fuel gauge if it has 3 studs https://www.rt-eng.com/rte/index.php/Main_Page Here, concerning the "in the fuel guage" limiters https://rt-eng.com/index.php/RTE_Gauge_Faq.html#Fixing_dash_clusters_that_have_internal_limiters

Never know. Could be ruptured / leaking filter, etc

My gosh, been half a century since I've heard one of those rattle. I put headers on my 69 383RR (about fall of 1970), my 70 440-6, about 71-72, came with cyclone headers the 1st owner had installed, and the 340 I swapped in later I pulled the thing out and stuck a bolt in there...

Get some plastic "orange drop" electronics condensers. You'll have to research what the dual point condensers are for value. (EDIT Just looked up in the 68 manual, a hemi cap is .25--.285 mfd, that is microfarads) I'd use at least 200V rating. Sprague is one brand, you can get...

No, that ground was supposed to run everything grounded to the body. Heater/ radio/ tail lights etc etc. The body is one huge pieced of welded metal. There IS NO other ground, originally. The battery went to the block, to ground the starter, alternator, and ignition system. But...

The original grounding from battery to body was marginal back then. It is wise to add a big one from block to body. Buy a Ford style starter cable (eyelet to eyelet) and go from block to firewall. An easy way is one of the master cylinder studs. I know of no other big solid bolts...

LOL You DON'T want me to restart the "I can drive a non syncro 3 speed rant"

I am not familiar with the workings of the earlier horn buttons. You KNOW where the problem is, and evidently what is wrong. If you are certain that the shaft is the ground path, maybe you could construct a spring loaded brush to contact the column. Otherwise, choose a way to dash...

On the shallow hole---I used to think that but evidently it is only B/RB engines with this problem, and I did have a 440, which I had the crank "deepened." On a side note, the 5.9 in my old "White Whale III" was NOT DRILLED AT ALL past the converter snout register.

LOL, in NEVADA?? Come up here where it rusts, and here is NOTHING like some of the E. rust belt, or even over on the NW coastal areas.

AND NOW IT'S TIME FOR ANOTHER ANNOYING STORY from the old days Sometime in the 70's, I was working for my Dad's parts store. There was a tire store next door, and in they came with a set of rear drums off an AMC (tapered rear axle). I mounted them on the lathe and they almost walked the...

Torch.......large, 1 each. heat the drum around the face and hammer. BFH

CAVEAT!!!! Don't rely on parts store vacuum gauges, the typical fuel pressure/ vacuum gauge Not long ago, I put an AC system into my neighbor's son's house, this is R410A, and I read that they are way more finicky on vacuum, so I ended up with a new pump, some additional test...

Yup, this goes up through 67, and "gets worse" in 68, because 68 has only one vin on the DASH and the dash is removable!! 69 / later has body partial vin stampings as well

^^They are incredibly simple. A fitting welded into the filler tube connects with the vent tube, which goes up high against the rear fender top surface, makes a "U" and feeds down along the filler tube and through a hole in the trunk floor gasket. It terminates, open, inside the frame...

^^That is correct information as posted. 1928 Farmalls, even the hemi powered ones, don't have trunks nor vented trunk mount tanks, either^^

A couple have mentioned reversed pickup polarity. LET ME BE CLEAR. UNLESS YOU ARE RUNNING an electronic timing system such as EFI................ You cannot make it run correctly with reversed polarity because it changes the trigger point (the trigger point fires the spark "then"...

1942 Supermarine Spitfires don't have trunks Neither do Thunderbolts, partly because it's full of turbocharger

Check plug wire routing for crossfire. Are they a type of wire recommended by MSD? I would CHECK the wires with an ohmeter for opens or high resistance. "New does not mean good." Check carefully your pickup wire routing. You want the plug wires to cross that area "at a 90" AKA...

Compression Leakdown, think about burnt/ stuck/ bent valves or flat cam Fuel pressure. Get a gauge on it Rotor phasing. Google that. It's a thing ESPECIALLY with stuff like locked distributors If you have a "dial back" timing light get yourself an old school simple light, mark the...

1...Rear mount small resonator and tailpipe out the rear 2...Floor insulation if not, does not take much and add some to the rear cavities such as quarter windows area and behind seat/ trunk bulkhead. Fiberglass weighs little 3..."Gaps?" "Gaps?" I don't understand. Holes in the...
