Black and decker makes one that just works. I have had mine since 2015 and it's the best and most reliable battery tender / charger I've ever had. They still make them and I bought an additional one last summer and it's as consistent and reliable as the first one I bought in 2015. Kept the...

273 bracket

so I'm thinking about where to mount the ECU In a 63 valiant. My first thought was to "hide" the ecu to keep a more vintage look. I thought of mounting it under the battery tray. Then I thought of just putting it out there and mounting it on the left inner fender just like the 73+ cars...

Heck yea, I burned myself on one. It didn't look hot and I didn't think about it and grabbed it full grip. Needless to say, it was a goner when it cooled, it was shorted or whatever. My hand ached all weekend, so now I always check them before I touch them. It could be a frozen winter...

THAT!!! is an option THANKS

So fabo guys usually have all the solutions and answers. How should i go about fixing the small starter stud which is stripped out??

I used a 12 volt power supply and then I put a voltage regulator off a parts cluster inline to simulate it being in the car or you can leave the gauge in the cluster and test through there, using the voltage regulator in place already

It is absolutely possible to bench test. It took me forever to figure out how but after I got it, I built my own tester. I made it so you can test the gauge by itself or test fuel gauge with an actual fuel sender in the circuit

So I'm finding out that wiring for a 74 duster is almost non existant. When the 74 duster came to me it was missing the engine harness. Looking at re pop wiring, they do not make anything re pop for 1974. Sooo my options are crusty used wiring or possibly a EZ wiring kit which I see are very...

You might have a bad ballast resistor

anyone know of a good source for OE type connectors and pigtails I am not finding the connector available anywhere for the electronic distributor like this:

hadn't thought of that. Its not a correct car by any means but it is a very mild street car. The engine is a tired, original, low compression 340.

There are different resistors in each kit ??? For Mopar... Small Block 273 318 340 360 Electronic Ignition Distributor Kit | eBay MOPAR 318 340 360 HiRev Electronic Ignition Kit Resto OEM Plymouth Dodge Chrys | eBay

So I am shopping around for an electronic ignition upgrade kit for my 71 scamp and I am noticing that some kits on the market have the bracket style ballast resistor and some have the thick style one that takes a longer bolt. Which is more correct and which one should I get ??

Are we talking about a V8 here??

believe it or not Auto Zone....but ONLY the Duralast GOLD I usually pay the extra money and get the one that has 1000 CCA and I NEVER have a problem I have a Dura last Gold that me and my dad bought in 2009 and it STILL cranks out stronger than some new batteries, it's so old it has the yellow...

has anyone run into the problem of hardware stores and even some lock stores do not having the old style key blanks? I went to a local lock smith place and the girl there wanted to use a GM key blank to copy a Chrysler key for my valiant. she was like "it doesn't really matter what it looks...

that is a ford style solenoid....so who knows what is going on with the wiring. I would recommend keeping a fire extinguisher handy when fiddling with that

Just had a very similar problem. BATTERY CABLES. The cables on my car looked ok and clean enough at the terminals but as I cut the insulation back, it was blue/green corrosion for at least 8 inches from the battery terminal, to the core, all hidden by the insulation. I Replaced the cables...

thanks for the confidence guys ......tried it out on some other spare gauge clusters and I believe it works :D Consistent results on multiple tests. :D

it's really hard now that Radio shack closed down near me.....the nearest source for any of this stuff is like an hour away. I remember even 5 years ago we had a Radio shack in our local mall right next to a lot of big stores and now there is still one but an hour away. Even when I went to...

you can say that I guess ...I took the spades off and soldered into to contacts. The idea is so that minimal is exposed in the rare event the lid comes off to change voltage regulators or any other reason.

power supply.

of this gauge tester. Inspired by the original miller gauge tester tool...... I have built my own version but added a few extras. At first I was going to use a 9V battery but I really don't like batteries leaking and being so expensive. I figured 99% of the work I do will be in the...

that looks like an OTC 3385 ......I was actually thinking of getting one like that but I think it does way more than the miller tool and is a lot more complex.

is the shifter in the reverse or 2nd gear position. It has to be "UP" and appear like a auto shifter in park would to release the key and lock the steering wheel. If it is "down" in the 1st or 3 rd or N position, it will have symptoms as you describe

dang, I need to try this in my 68 B-body rally cluster and see if it looks as good....

I talked to the "kid" on Monday and it turns out that TV and internet is the culprit. Seems he got the "impression" from a TV show that points are the way to go. Also he swears up and down that he saw an article on the internet, about the 400 hp 318. However, I made some suggestions...

again fabo people make some good points .....(haha pun) He caught me by surprise because I never expected anyone to request that. I myself have converted points cars to stock type electronic with the wire harness from MOPAR performance and WELLS or original parts and its worked brilliant...

so I had a guy show up today ....a friend of one of my customers. I must be getting old because I would consider him a KID(high school kid). He has a 74 dart sport 318/ auto and it runs and drives nice......overall nice car. The reason he contacted me is because he wants me to do some mods...
