I removed the resistor spring wire and installed a jumper wire the same gauge as the rest of the wiring.

Last winter I made new wiring for my 65 coronet. I wanted to make some changes and up date things. This is a list of some of the things done. Wires colors and size (gauge) are all the same as factory. Factory wiring diagram is mostly correct except for the changes I wanted to make. Drew...

Thanks to all who contribute to FABO and allow me to learn some thing new and be able to keep my old junk running. I have put together some information that some might find helpful. I have not completed the how to make a gauge tester like the C-3826. Fuel gauge calibration If you have a...

On my 65 coronet, ten years ago, I was having all kinds of electrical gremlins that were causing crazy issues, especially with high humidity. After many hours of testing I tracked it down to the original printed circuit board. I confirmed it being the problem by removing it and replacing it with...

Just found this info on a 1992 Dakota tach, and thought I would share it. https://www.allpar.com/threads/1995-dakota-help.238556/

Sorry to dig up an old thread. Just thought I add some info. Just doing research in to updating my 65 coronet and 66 valiant blower motor with a relay. On another site it recommended using a single five pin relay right before the motor. This allows the switch and resistor like normal until HI...

Nice to see you got your truck up and running. The dakota's SMEC computer controls the tach. I messed a little with a stand alone tach driver but did not have any success. Did not spend much time on it. Not all of the Smec for the dakota's have the tach driver in them. So when cloning you...

Horns stop working beacause the contactcs on the inside get dirty.

I too have a Shelby Dakota #660. My computer took a dump but I was able to clone it to get the truck working again. So the 1989 computer has two boards in it. The top board with the small connector is the board that controls the alternator. The second board withthe large connector is the...

I know its easy to just order new wiring but I wanted to do a couple of things different. Started to rewire my 65 Dodge coronet and when I'm done with it I'll be rewiring my 66 Valaint. My plans are to update the engine bays wires and the under dash. The original headlight wiring scared me...

I have sun dizzy tester and an Allen dizzy tester. Also have most of the speck sheets for the factory set up.. Let me know if I can help.

Back in the late 80's there was a control box that could be wired into a two speed wiper motor. It would not work with the 3 speed/ variable speed motor.

On my 65 273 2 bbl. I made a two piece bracket for the coil that bolts in the factory spot. I also mounted the HEI with a big heat sink and the 12V relay on the bracket. All this is kinda hard to see in the pictures. That volt regulator is just for looks, a 70 solid state is hidden under the...

More info on small block/slant six distributor vacuum advance V343 - Electronic adjustable 11R advance fits small block and slant six VC228- Electronic adjustable 11R advance fits small block and slant six VC232- Electronic adjustable 8.5R advance fits small block and slant six...

How a bout a list of the available vacuum advance cansers. Part numbers from o'reillys BWD parts I got V189, V192, V194 small block slant six for points distributors. Then V342, V345- small block slant six 11 degree advance,V346,V344,V410,V438, V438,V464 Also Kemparts VC322, 8.5Degree...

I like using the heater A/C fan relay from mid 80's Gm trucks. Its tough, cheep and available in any store. Or go to the junk yard and grab one and the plastic wire holder.

Try running a test wire form the negative cable on the battery to the light socket housing. If the light works add a ground wire, and clean where the light socket touches with sand paper, or replace the socket. good luck

I used the two wires that originally fed the head lights to activate the two relays (one for hi one for low) added power and good ground wires. I hid everything under the battery.

I would just make my own wiring to place of the circuit board. Go to the junkyard ad look in the camaros dashes for a two-wire plug in light socket. You will have to get a few. Then use bullet connectors for the other connections needed. I try to use the same color wires matched up, newer...

After I got rid of the printed circuit board in my 65 I didn't have any more annoying electrical issues. I spent hours chasing those little annoying electrical gremlins. I just made my own wiring.

The wiring for the AC is not integrated in the main harness. But a non rally dash wiring is different from the rally wiring, Minor modification is needed it this has been done befor.

The next one I do will be with a HEI modular. No dumb ballast resistor to cause problems. Ez to do. http://duster318.freeservers.com/tech/hei.html
