    Making switch tabs

    I’m a 30 year electrician if that makes a hill of beans. But I would clean the remaining tabs and make up new ones made exactly like the originals and solder them on top. I would not recommend you to drill the rivets because you will lose the clamping force on the connection.

    Ammeter waving when ignition is on.

    Have you check the bulkhead connections to be sure they are clean and tight? you have a loose or dirty connection somewhere. Also look at your voltage regulator connections as well.

    Layson’s reproduction battery cables

    Thanks Steve, I guess I should have been more specific on the cable. I’m looking for the positive cable for a 69’ hemi b body manual trans and there’s more to that cable as it has the reverse and oil pressure harness in it.

    Speedometer Cable Removal

    Why are my distributor cap terminals burnt?

    Yea looks normal for about 10,000 miles or so:lol: But if it’s not misfiring just run it.

    Why are my distributor cap terminals burnt?

    the coil you have should work fine. my opinion is something is making the ignition work harder than it should. Have you eliminated the ballast resistor? if the coil is a 12 volt rated coil you don’t need it. Also check voltage at the coil + terminal with the key on. And are all your engine...
