Some great suggestions here and some nice looking engines as well. When I replaced the ends a few weeks ago I did use the MSD boots and wire ends and yes I have the crimper as well. Even doing that, the ends are extremely close. I guess Ill try running the wires as mopardude318 suggests and see...

Here is the only pic I can find right now of the header. The wires are run from the top and they dont burn. Im asking about the boots. They cant be changed as they go down over the plug. Ive replaced them with a differnet boot that is supposed to be bendable but they are also as close as the...

I was wondering what the guys that are running TTI headers on your small block have done to keep from burning boots? Here are my #5 & #7 boots on my 408 small block, I only have about 500 miles on the motor and I am using these DEI Titanium boot protectors from first startup. These are supposed...

Johnny Mac, Im not trying to make it that difficult I dont think or at least Im hoping not. Again my wiring is pretty much custom fit to the Chrysler one field wire system but my battery has gone to the trunk. When I did this 3 or 4 years ago I was told to add the CDR in the circuit (and I cant...

Working on a 408 in a 66 Dart. The wiring has been modified drastically so I am looking for someone that could post up a diagram of how to wire this including a Continuous duty relay that has 2 large posts and one small post. Also can you explain why I should be using the CDR. My battery has...

Coalman, that's strange because they dont use the same grounds or power feeds. But on these old cars you just never know. I'm just glad mines working now!!

Coalman, Not sure what you are referring to with a new headlight switch?? Can you explain? I replaced the switch during the build so it is new. Well last night I checked the wiring from the kick panel to the dash connectors. I found everything to be ok, however I also found that the wires inside...

Forgot to add the diagram. In this diagram it shows going to the Ballast, however I have removed that part of my wiring. Could I just remove the continuous duty relay and put my 200 amp fuse in between at that point. I already have the 8 gauge wire going to and from the CD Relay. Then from the...

Bringing back an old thread because I am changing to a one wire GM style alternator with internal reg vs my original hot wire and field wire. My instructions say to eliminate the voltage regulator buy cutting and dead ending the wires going to the regulator. Then run the one wire from the...

Just wanted to update this post. First let me say thanks to all of you that threw information out to me on this task. As I said in an earlier post I had already grounded the tank to the body, also grounded the sending unit wire with no success. I had also verified that the wire from the tank to...

Tolman mike, in post #9 you will see I have already done that with nothing happening. I know I have a solid wire from tank unit to kick panel connection so I'm going to have to go inside up under dash. That's a weekend job after I get the car off the lift. I'm looking for where to go and how to...

As I said I one of the first replies I am not using the temp gauge since I have aftermarket gauges. The only thing that I will be using in the original dash is the fiel gauge and speedometer. Thanks Rod

I know i havent been back to update this thread but its time to start and resolve this issue. I plan on digging farther into this gauge sometime this weekend. Any help that you can send my way would be greatly appreciated. redfish, You speak of a limiter. Can you show any pics of this. The...

I'm not using the temp gauge at all. Rod

I have a non functioning fuel gauge on my Dart. What are the trouble shooting steps I need to go thru? I see only one wire to the tank unit. I have not checked anything yet. What is the wiring on the back of the gauge? Is there a second wire coming off the gauge anywhere? Thanks Rod

Im going to have to put the one wire alternator on the back burner because it appears that the pulleys arent going to work. the fan is hitting the lower pulley. Im going to be calling the company I got the serpentine kit from and see what they recommend. This kinda sucks because I cant use the...

Thanks Aaron, when I get home tonight after 9 here on east coast I will get more info. I also have a battery kill on mine to make the NHRA happy! Rod

1966 Dodge Dart 8 cyl. Battery has been moved to the trunk. Im going to be upgrading to a one wire 100 amp alt. I am currently using a 2 wire with a field wire that goes to my regulator. Then from the would go to my resistor and branch off to the ignition switch. I am being told that I will not...

The 8 watts is what I am trying to match at least close to. The 1095 matched very close that you cant tell the difference howeverer Napa can not get any of them. Napa can get me an 1129 bulb which is at 16 watts still to bright. I may try a 89 bulb which will have a smaller dome but I'm not sure...

Thats nice but a lot of work! lol I just dont want mine to have different levels of brightness on te parking light side. Hoping today I can get the 1095 bulb and they will be the same as the parking light side of the 1157. My big mistake in all this was assuming that I had an 1156 when I first...

Im working with a 66 Dart here but this may help others with similar situations. As I work to get my car ready for its spring debut it was time to wire in the rear lights. Once that was done it was time for the bulbs. Here's where my learning experience starts!! . My Dart has 4 tail lights...

Thanks for the reply, what do you mean by "safe off"? Are you just saying tape the end really well? On the spark plug question, should I regap plugs to a wider gap or let them at the .032-.035? Thanks Rod

Anyone??

Working on a 66 Dart that has an original style alt with a field wire and hot wire. Its installed in the car with battery moved to truck and charging system is fine at 14.0-14.3. I bought a serpentine belt kit that included a one wire internal regulator alternator. (chrome plated) The directions...

Just a quick update update. I found that the tach staying at the 8k when shutting it off is due to the auxilary shift light setting. I looks as tho where ever you set the shift light to come on is where the tach will go when unpowered. I guess I will find out more once or if I ever get this...

Well, I finally got around to hooking up dads tach and my tach is spot on with his tach. So I guess I will accept the goofy needle position when car isnt running. I do want to thank everyone for all your help and especially for the education on how these things operate. Just another example of...

Well, I should have expected this. I hooked up my snap on timing light with tach/advance that has been in drawer for probably 15 years and it doesnt work! So I guess its time to buy a new light. I dont think I need a top of the line light so I guess I go shopping at summit and see what I can buy...

Just to make sure everyone does understand because sometimes I dont explain things well enough, Before any wiring is connected and tach was in box, needle was at 2k. Once I put 12v to tach without engine running tach jumps to 10K. remove 12v wire and tach went to 0, once started it appeared to...

I hope to hook up another tach tonight from my timing light to compare. If it's the same I guess I wont worry about it. If it's different maybe I will need another tach. What was really strange was that if I connected and disconnected the hot wire it would go from 0 or 10. As long as its not...

Thanks Yellow rose, that makes me feel a little bit better! Rod
