BTW, I forgot to say Thanks for the info!

Ok, I looked this up & seems like a whole new 'world or wiring' is to be had for the entire electrical system. It's a good modernization move for older vehicles. I'm gonna consider doing this kindo f upgrade on a future car project.

I'm intrigued by this. What are the advantages to upgrading to this style? And, do you have any images,diagrams,gfx to reference?

So here's the Situation. 1969 D100 Pickup (sorry A-Body guys, but you seem to have more activity than the Sweptline pages right now): Ignition Synopsis Note: The Wiring colors on the Ignition Switch Circuit on Sweptline (1961-71) trucks are different than Mopar Cars * 'ST' = Orange (med...

Has anyone used the Ford Solenoid Switch instead? I've gone through my collection of Mopar Starter Relays & just can't seem to get the SR to activate the Starter. I've got a Ford Solenoid Switch which just looks like a better design (2 hefty posts vs. the one on the Mopar SR). Also, from...

I'd definitely vote: Turn Signal Switch (TSS). a) It may have been fried (I know I'm guilty of it) b) It may also be due to a previous owner doing some re-wiring. So check that the TSS wires match. c) To Compound matters, Some aftermarket TSS wire colors don't match. But fear not, here...

You might have luck finding connectors @ FRy's Electronics. They're big out West & have popped up in a lot of Metro areas. I know that there are 2 in the Atlanta Area.

Lord Have Mercy! Why is it that Dr. Who is so addictive? BUnch-a Geeks. And Netflix...I gotta cancel it because that site has put me up to abt 5 hrs of TV per day now!

I dig what U say about the 'truth table'. That's a great term for what I would also call a 'Baseline', or a 'Benchmark'. I guess that's really what I'm seeking (along w/ Good CAR-ma & Spirtual Fulfilment...I fear I'm a long way from both - Dang!)

I've definitely gotten interested in all the posts about the HEI. I've already done the MP ECU upgrades on my vehicles (except for the '60 NY'r) already & am pretty happy w/ them. The promise of the HEI has peaked my interest. But if 'marginal improvement' is the result, then I may just wait...

Thanks! It looks like I'm wired right. It's been a few years, so my specifics are a bit fuzzy, but here's what I recall about the Dart - the ECU & Distributor kit from Mopar Perf was new (so we can rule out the older ECU possibility), but I think that the 4-Pronged B/Res was already in-place...

I stipulate the need for more eduKashin....but I'd like to not have to go back -n- forth between chapters in manuals so much. Plus, in our heat/humidity, my damn glasses ("Yes sir...I damn thee..."), get so fogged up that I can't read the tiny print on the diagrams while I'm tracing. I know, I...

Convertible Switch??

For an Elec-novice like me, cutting out that extra 'point of failure' seems appealing. I've got the 4-Pronged B/Res wired right, so I'm probably able to rule out the B/Res as the culprit. I'm kinda thinking my issue is.....the Bulkhead Connector (namely, ythe middle one). Anyway, I'm glad to...

FWIW, I did the MAD electrical voltmeter switch (bypassing the ammeter), rewired & installed an alternator spec'd for a 1980's car (an '85 5th Ave, I think) along w/ the newer style Voltage Regulator & a few other things. I never, ever have trouble w/ charging anymore. I'm no electrical...

I'm a real exciting guy...I get down on real compellin' topics like Broads, Booze & Ballast Resistors. Anyway, Here's my main question: Is there a benefit of switching from a 4-Prong B/Res, to a 2-Prong (or vice versa)? I ask because I've got 2 small block vehicles, both w/ the Orange Box ECU...

Just Curious, does anyone have (or know of a link for..) a wiring diagram (specifically a 72-76, or equivalent A-Body model) that shows the Values on the diagram (i.e- what the Voltages, Resistances, etc for each wire/component/switch/etc. should read when testing w/ a M/Meter). For example, it...

I like this idea.

I've got that HEI upgrade on my to-do list.

That looks like it's gonna be a real Kool machine!

From what I saw on the Evans' webpage link, those connectors are $70...I wonder if that is all inclusive of all 3 connectors, plus the firewall plug-in piece. Hopefully, that $70 wasn't just for the items you showed. If so, I think that I''l be pulling out the elec cleaner...

YES! YES it does! Beautifully. I did this ByPass a couple of Years back & I can Confirm the effectiveness of this 'surgery'. I coupled that w/ the newer Voltage Reg, a 65amp Alternator & tracing/ replacing a lot of old connectors & some wiring. This car now starts, charges & sparks great...

I had this same issue w/ my starter just coming on at speed, or (here's my main culprit) - When I would bump the Firewall/Bulkhead Connector (the middle one, specifically). It seemed to be a thick, grey wire. THese old connectors are just junk after 4.5 decades, so I think waht happens is that...

I have a spare electronic SB Distributor, but am not sure if it is 100%. I am considering changing out the magnetic pickup & can get one cheap. The pickup part# is LX 102. Anybody know if this is correct? Also, I may not need to do this, so I am interested in ya'lls' opinions. FYI, I tried...

Battery has been in for 3 days & disconnected for 2. And you're right: It Ain't......

That statement just makes me wanna rip my carb off & go snag a Fuel Injection System....

Weyll, The B.S. has really gotten my goat today - so much that I'm in an intense debate about Gawd & Satan messing w/ my electrical system.... It's a beeeeeautiful Spring day here in the ATL & so whadda I do: I says to my Baby - "Come on, let's pack a picnic & go cruisin' in the Cuda...

Very Nice work. Thanks for sharing some great info.

Hi, just FYI - I run straight E85 & never have trouble w/ dieseling. However, it is very important to get the timing properly adjusted to account for the type of fuel you're running (whatever the composition). Problems w/ E85 are usually: Old, rubber fuel lines (these should be...
